CHIMA AKENZUA
About Me
Chima Akenzua is a SAG Award-nominated stunt performer, movement director, and physical storyteller whose career spans elite sport, entertainment, and screen performance.
One of the UK's pioneering parkour athletes, Chima began training in 2003 and went on to represent the United Kingdom at the World Parkour Championships, earning consecutive silver medals in 2007 and 2008. Over more than two decades, he has built an international reputation for a distinctive movement style that combines athleticism, precision, and creativity.
What makes Chima's perspective unique is his ability to blend the physical capabilities of an elite freerunner with the storytelling awareness and practical mindset of a stunt performer. He approaches movement not simply as action, but as a powerful tool for storytelling, character, and human connection.
His work has taken him across film, television, commercial campaigns, and live performance, collaborating with global brands including Disney, Apple, Amazon, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Red Bull, and Skoda. He has also trained actors, performers, and high-profile talent, helping them develop confidence, physical capability, and screen presence.
Today, Chima is developing original television projects inspired by movement, adventure, and human potential. For over twenty years, movement has been his way of exploring people, places, and cultures. Whether uncovering extraordinary stories, navigating physical challenges, or discovering the connections that unite us across the world, he combines world-class physical expertise with a natural curiosity about people and the world around him
