THE 10 PHYSICAL STUNT DISCIPLINES
Choreographed Combat & Action Design
Mastering screen combat is not about actually striking, but about reproducing the power of a confrontation with technical precision. Stunt performers learn the martial repertoires of East and West (boxing, muay thai, judo, krav maga, wushu), how to calculate safety distances, and the art of selling a hit through a physical reaction synchronised with the camera angle.
