The dojo set was built well before it was used. During the dojo sequence, there was significant physical contact between both actors, earning them bruises. Because Keanu Reeves's neck injury prior to filming meant he had insufficient training with wires up to that point, and due to the physical toll he had taken by Fishburne up to that point, he was unable to perform the triple kick move satisfactorily and became frustrated with himself, causing the scene to be postponed. The scene was shot successfully a few days later, with Reeves using only three takes. Woo-Ping Yuen altered the choreography of the scene from then on, and made the actors pull their punches in the last sequence of the scene, creating a training feel, and giving them both much-needed relief.
