Bahagi ng Chinese-Filipino culture at tradition ang kaalaman sa martials arts ayon kay Direk Lester Pimentel. Minana ni Direk Lester sa kanyang ama ang talento sa martial arts hanggang siya ay naging multi-awarded na atleta. Kwento niya, “I started at 8 years old. Chinese martial arts is really part of the lifestyle in Binondo. When I was 15, I became part of the national team. I competed for the national team for more than 10 years.” Kwento naman ng anak niyang si Lance, “I started a bit earlier than him. I was 5 years old. He was my first coach sa bahay. Naabutan ko pa siyang mag-compete sa SEA Games noong 2005. And from there, I got into the national team, I competed internationally. I kept on learning more martial arts like Muay Thai, MMA, boxing Filipino martial arts as well.” Una nilang naipamalas ang kanilang world-class na talento sa martial arts sa ilang Kapamilya shows tulad ng ‘The Iron Heart’. Kahit delikado, hindi ito naging dahilan para nila talikuran ang skill at sining na minahal na nila kaya naman lubos nilang inihanda ang mga aktor at stuntmen ng Incognito sa lahat ng fight scenes.   &quot;The roles of the main characters are former soldiers. We familiarize ourselves with how a soldier would move. We have a military tactics consultant. Four-month training camp for them,” ani Direk Lester.   &quot;All the orders comes from him and, syempre, I just try to execute it as best as I can. I have to be in shape din so that I can do the stunts and the actions. Pero there&#x27;s a lot of planning involved when doing the action scenes,” dagdag ni Lance. Sa pagtatapos ng &quot;Incognito&quot;, iisa ang pangarap nina Direk Lester at Lance, ang mas makilala ang husay ng mga Pilipino sa buong mundo. Para kay Direk Lester, &quot;I hope the Filipino action genre or the Filipino series as a whole would be able to make it internationally. I hope someday we can be at par with the Koreans, libre naman mangarap na sana lahat tayo umangat at mapanood ng buong mundo.”  Para naman kay Lance, “We have the same mission. We talk about this every day at home. To reach the international level, I think right now we&#x27;ve done it. We just need to do it more. more chance of doing it. Hopefully by next project we could improve what we have done in Incognito.” - Ulat ni Harlene Delgado para sa programang Tao Po.
