Chapter 5 · 2005–2010
Lecturer at three Cape Town institutions, fitness trainer to the Metro Police, and keynote speaker to young entrepreneurs.
Every chapter of this story ends the same way: with Sensei San Ndlovu teaching what he had learned to the people coming after him.
From 2005 to 2010 he taught the Stunts and Movement course at AFDA, City Varsity and the University of Cape Town, preparing students for careers in film and performance.
In 2009 he was one of 16 trainers on the Cape Town Metro Police fitness pilot, leading sessions at the Civic Centre that combined martial arts, fitness, strength training and running drills. The Weekend Argus covered it under the headline “Lean, mean policing machine”.
In July 2008 he was keynote speaker at the Umsobomvu Youth Fund’s 5th Entrepreneurship Development Conference. He also ran corporate team building and obstacle courses on the Klipdrift Premium Course, which introduced him as founder of “the first formal stunt training school on the African continent”, and appeared at the SABC Career Fair in 2005.
“Like this we can make sure that these officers are role models and not people to be laughed at because they can’t get out of their cars.”
