Nicky Naudé, who plays the assassin Castel, was cast very specifically. Since Matt Damon was doing all of his own stunts, and to give the two assassins similar fighting styles, Doug Liman needed to cast the person who trained Damon in his fighting skill to play the role against him. It was important for the person playing this role to be both an actor and a stunt person. Regarding the fight itself, the technique both men are using is Kali, a Filipino style of martial arts. Damon and Liman chose Kali, because they liked how efficient of a style it is and how it uses the opponents energy against them. In fact, the method behind the fighting style informed much of Damon's performance even outside fighting scenes. They felt this best embodied Jason Bourne's style as a whole. The entire fight was rehearsed over the course of two months, the most rehearsed sequence of the film. The scene was shot in three or four-move sequences, and no stunt doubles are used at all.
