The critics appreciated that Nemesis was filled with amazing stunts, thrilling action sequences, and innovative special effects that were pushing at the time the film industry limits of Blade Runner and Terminator 2. Both Nemesis and Angel town have been extremely popular in video, and Nemesis is one of the movies Gruner is most proud of.

For a first timer Gruner did an admirable job, and was immediately recognized by the critics for his presence, as well as his martial arts abilities, being compared to the likes of Dolph Lundgren, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Steven Seagall.

1987

Having achieved in 6 years his dream of becoming a world champion, he retired from professional kickboxing in 1987 and made the leap from athlete to actor. Gruner perception is that as soon as one reaches the top in a discipline, the only way forward is downwards. So once he had become world champion, he decided it was time to explore something else. Following the lead of Reg Park and Arnold Schwarzenegger, he chose to move on to the movie industry and become a movie star.

In a very pro-active way, he did some serious self-promotion at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival. He plastered posters of himself around Cannes, which caught the attention of a producer. Days later, Gruner was flying to Los Angeles to do some screen tests. He passed those tests with a flying 74% and his next stop was the beginning of a film career.

1984

In 1984, he began fighting as a professional kickboxer. On that same year, after 10 professional fights only, he became France middleweight champion. By 1985, his successes in the ring were allowing him to train and fight full-time. In 1986, he became World Middleweight Kickboxing Champion.

1981

As a martial artist, Gruner was a full-time kickboxer in France for 8 years from 1981 to 1988. He became France middleweight champion, then middleweight full-contact kickboxing world champion in 1985, and again middleweight kickboxing world champion in 1986.

In 1981 Gruner left the French military with the aim to train full-time in order to compete professionally as a kickboxer. He traveled to the French Alps and began an intensive training regimen.
