How hard did you have to train to become a karate professional?
"I had never taken any form of martial arts before Cobra Kai so I worked for hours in the training gym on set," Peyton revealed.
"When I'm off set, I'll take STRONG Nation's high-intensity martial arts inspired classes, specifically with their master trainer, Ai Lee Syarief, who is a worldwide karate champion.
"It doesn't require weights and is a full-body workout. It helps keep me motivated and in shape on my breaks."

The show is incredibly fast-paced with lots of stunts. Do you have a double?
One look at Peyton in the show and you’d be forgiven for thinking she’d been practicing karate her whole life. Although she does have a stunt double - what Hollywood star doesn’t? She has thrown herself into learning how to pack a punch for real - something she's incredibly proud of.
"I have a double and stunt coordinator Jahnel Curfman,” she said. "She is a badass but also trained me and drilled me on every fight to make sure I could do the fight sequences myself."
