I use to know a guy, who was a stunt man, in the movies, so I know you have to be tough. Later, it got me thinking, stunt women, having to be aggressive and tough, an able to take a beating, I would think, in a catfight, they would be a handful. I was wondering what you guy's think?.
I'm sure you are right. They need to be the whole package physically - strong, quick and very exact in what they do. You don't want a stunt person to accidentally belt the star!
Yeah, you're right. In fact, most TV or movie catfights use stunt women for the action. I would surmise that they would be very tough in a real fight.
I remember Ronda Rousey, saying the stunt woman she worked with in the "fast and furious", was tough, Ronda, did her own fight scene and the stunt woman she worked with got knocked around pretty good, an never complained once about it.
I know someone who is a teacher of stage combat, but I don't think he knows how to really fight!!!
