Considered one of the best stuntmen of the 20th century, Cyril Raffaelli has been in many films, including Luc Besson's The Transporter and John Frankenheimer's Ronin.

Rafaelli's skills are built on a concrete foundation in both martial arts and parkour, with a specialization in shotokan karate and wushu. (By the way, WonderHowTo has some incredible wushu tutorials).

The mini-doc below demonstrates some of Rafaelli's both death and gravity defying moves. Amazing!
