As already mentioned, one of the great things about the Marvel/Netflix shows are the fight scenes, and that'll really be exemplified in The Defenders. Each member has their own style, from Jessica Jones' brawler to Danny Rand's martial arts expert, and the series will have a chance to blend all of those together in its team-up action scenes. It's a lot to try and fit together, but Marco Ramirez offered an explanation of how it's all going to work:

"We have to work our way for Matt to do some cool parkour-y stuff, Danny to use his fist in some awesome way, Luke to use his strength and invulnerability in some cool way, and Jessica to just be a badass brawler.
"Coming at them from an emotional perspective is how we write those fight scenes, so Luke ends up being the protector, and Danny and Matt end up becoming the offence. Jessica is kind of the reluctant punk rock member of the band who doesn’t want to be there, but who’s really awesome. It’s making sure each of the characters can really pop."

That should be really fun to watch, while there's also a tease of the team facing off against one another, which makes sense given it's a highly-combustible line-up.
