about How to Become a Stunt Double
I'm interested in becoming a stunt double. What is required? How do I become one?
It sounds like a cool job - why aren't more people stunt doubles? Do they get paid well?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

You should probably join a school that teaches professional wrestling. Since their 'moves' are scripted, it will give you help you work on timing and learn some fancy kicks, jumps and take downs without hurting yourself or your partner. You should simultaneously join a gym and work on your physique. Since most action heroes have an ogle worthy physique, to become their stunt double you too will need to look like one. I live in Mumbai, India which is home to Bollywood, India's Film Industry. Stunt double's do make good money even here. But compared to what the actors make, their income certainly isn't much. Hopefully my answer help. May the force guide you in your quest. :)
