The Story
Built from
the ground up
Chan Griffin grew up in a small town with no stunt performers around him — which means he understands how hard it is to find the right instruction. It took four years before he was given the opportunity to work on a full-time stunt team.
Fast forward to coordinating fight sequences on Shazam, Mortal Kombat 2021, Thor: Love and Thunder, and the upcoming Voltron. The gap between where he started and where he arrived is exactly what Fight Creative is designed to close for the next generation.
With 29 years of martial arts training and 18 years of MEAA graded stunt performance, Chan has stood on the shoulders of giants — and built a platform to share every lesson learned along the way.
“I know how hard it is to not have the opportunity or resources to reach your full potential. This is dedicated to the ones with a hunger for knowledge and a passion for fight for film.”
