Stunt Training
Mastering Martial Arts for Performance
What is Stunt Training?
Stunt training is a specialised discipline of martial arts adapted for theatre, film, and television. Unlike competitive fighting, it focuses on choreographed techniques designed to appear powerful, dramatic, and realistic on screen or stage, while maintaining complete safety for all performers. This unique art form combines timing, precision, acting, and martial skill to create visually striking action sequences that bring stories to life.
