No, just that they will use the tools of their trade to make it LOOK like it's Finn doing the moves that are too advanced for him to learn in time.

Maybe it's easier to teach him kung fu than it is to teach Adkins or Park to act.
Actually, I'm pretty certain that Keanu Reeves didn't know any martial arts before he did the Matrix.

Mask and it isn't that hard. Just hire some of the people that were involved in Spartacus put him through that daily work out. I am sure they had a past martial artist in that crew. Not like the whole episode will be a fight.

While I have no doubt he will be fine with the acting, he definitely needs to bulk up and add quite a bit of lean muscle. He is absolutely too "soft" to do any believable shirtless scenes as this character.

David Craradine wasn't an accomplished martial artist when he did the Kung Fu tv series; but, the choreographer, David Chow, was. Film martial arts is all about choreography and rehearsal, just like a dance routine. As long as the actor has the right attitude and does his homework, he can be credible on screen. meanwhile, Hong Kong is littered with accomplished martial artists who couldn't deliver a single line. I noticed you didn't see Ray Park in too many speaking roles, after Phantom Menace, apart from X-Men.
Matt Damon didn't exactly scream badass, when it was announced that he was signed to play Jason Bourne.

This is a character who is named Iron Fist, his main move is the Iron Fist! Ideally speaking most of his movies should be based around punching and using that ability. Jones should be able to handle that. Lets also not forget he had to learn how to sword fight and joist ideally for GoT

wait. you mean that there are people specifically trained to fight on camera? all those actors don't become martial arts masters in 3 months? That's insane! [sarcasm tag]

I'm willing to sacrifice action for acting but that's a good question.
It's not enough for Danny to move fairly well like Daredevil.
Iron Fist needs to be graceful on a completely higher level.
So I'm expecting more than a few distant and cut away shots for the stunt man.
