Hybrid Movement is an action stunt team based in Vancouver, Canada. We are a group
of performers with a unique set of skills that is catered to the film/tv industry
as well as live stage shows. Our specialties include:
Martial Arts Tricking (acrobatic/performance martial arts)
Free Running
Le Parkour
Action/Fight Choreography (stage and film)
Stunts for film/tv
Gymnastics – power tumbling and trampoline
Bboying and Hip Hop dance choreography
Circus Arts (staff/fire spinning, poi, contact juggling, fire breathing, etc)
It all began with a conversation back in 2005 between a group of friends that met
on the internet. They all practiced a sport called Martial Arts Tricking and had
become friends through the online community called Tricks Tutorials. They discussed
the possibility of forming a team and making a living performing all the different
disciplines they practiced (whether it was martial arts or gymnastics or dance).
At the time, they had a couple videos on Youtube that they had made for fun, and
by luck some event planners from a local college saw the videos and called them
to do their first show.
As time went by, the team roster expanded and more videos/media were made. Everyone
continued training their skills and started learning new ones such as Parkour, Freerunning,
Fight Choreography, and Circus. A few members of the team attended film schools
after graduating high school and applied what they learned to the videos being released
online. More time passed, and more opportunities came forward. The team started
performing not just on stage, but also in film/tv. In 2010, Vancouver held the Winter
Olympics and Hybrid put on many shows at festivals/events during this time.
This is the story so far. We hope to continue performing what we love and creating
online media for you to enjoy. Thanks for stopping by!
