BEHIND THE ACTION
More Than Knowing How to Fight
In action and stunt movies, Martial Arts experience alone is not enough.
Performing for the camera requires a combination of physical ability, control and mental preparation.
Sifu Patrick's original five requirements should absolutely stay:
POWER
COORDINATION
FEARLESSNESS
Speed
FLEXIBILITY
Specific Training
Preparation for action and stunt work can include specialised physical and mental training.
PERSONAL BODY TRAINING
Specific muscle training and bodybuilding help prepare the body for the physical demands of action work.
MENTAL TRAINING
Training also focuses on concentration and learning to relax and remain focused under pressure.
