Local stunt performers took part in the "'Quarantine Fight Challenge' on Sunday in a video posted on Facebook.
In the video stunt performers from across the country are seen in a TikTok like challenge where one stunt person does a move followed by another person continuing the sequence - with each performer showcasing a different skill in their respective parts of the video.
We see kicks, flips, spins, punches and many of the other things that stunt performers use in their jobs to give a realistic feeling to the many films they work in.
This is similar to a video that the French school for stunt performers, Campus Univers Cascades, uploaded a couple of weeks ago. However, the South African version has sound effects and special effects.
