How to become a stuntman?

[Musicat]

Here’s one way to get stunt experience. Make a video of yourself twerking, but on fire.

I have no idea how to start either. But I went to high school with this guy:

We cam from a smallish town (~18,000 people) and there were about 350 in our high school.

I’m pretty impressed with his resume!

I’d second that learning some Parcours wouldn’t hurt…

The Guardian has your answer here.

To work as a stuntperson in the UK you need to get on to the British Equity Stunt Register. To do this probationary stuntpeople are required to reach instructor level in a minimum of six skills across six categories, including fighting, falling and water. They also need a black belt qualification in martial arts. Even then they can only be accepted once they have clocked up more than 60 hours of non-stunt experience in front of the camera on a professional production.
