Damien Walters 2010 Parkour

Damien Gareth Walters (born April 6, 1982), from Derby, United Kingdom is a professional stuntman, gymnastics coach and free runner.

He has competed for Great Britain in tumbling, and at his peak, was ranked 4th in the world, winning the European and world championships with the team. He said his first move was a frontflip in the grass when he was 4 or 5, which he subsequently failed, thereafter his mother enrolled him to train in gymnastics. He has had over 20 years training experience, and currently trains for approximately 3-4 hours each day.

With Damien’s extensive tumbling and gymnastics skills, many free running moves come naturally to him. He was first noticed in the community after releasing his 2007 showreel, which featured many free running inspired moves. This video got him scouted by Jackie Chan’s stunt agent. Presently, he has given up on gymnastics to pursue a career as a stuntman, where he is currently a part of a core group of stuntmen who work for Brad Allan, the first non-Asian member of Jackie Chan’s stunt team.
