Jeff Imada began his journey in the stunt world in the 1970s- a time where stunts were performed without CGI and relied heavily on the physical prowess and creativity of the performers.
Jeff shares fascinating anecdotes about the risks taken, the camaraderie among stunt performers, and the evolution of film. He also shares his vision and experience as fight stunt coordinator on the Bourne Series.
Jeff’s story is also one of personal resilience and cultural pride. Growing up in California, he faced his share of challenges and discrimination. However, these experiences also shaped his identity and fueled his passion for his craft and martial arts.
It was such an honor meeting Jeff and grateful to him for setting up our interview in the historic Inosanto Academy in Los Angeles.
