On a snowy mountaintop to the west of Kabul, a group of Afghan girls practise the flowing movements of Wushu, a sport developed from ancient Chinese kung fu martial arts, stretching and bending and slashing the air with bright swords. In a country where women's sport is severely restricted, the Shaolin Wushu club in a part of Kabul that is home to the capital's Hazara ethnic community, is a rare exception. Sima Azimi, the 20-year-old leading the practice session, says Wushu teaches self-defence, but just as important, "it's really effective for body and soul". Martial arts of all kinds are popular in Afghanistan, but it is a notoriously hard country for women, and the girls of the Shaolin Wushu club face regular harassment and abuse in addition to the normal dangers of life in Kabul. When possible, training goes on in a gym dominated by a poster of Hussain Sadiqi, a Hazara martial arts champion who fled to Australia in 1999 and later worked as a film stuntman. So far, all the girls in the club are Hazara, a Persian-speaking, mainly Shi'ite group who have faced a series of attacks claimed by Islamic State militants over the past year.

Stuntman Daniel Bargueno Morilla, 26, flies through the air following an explosion during the filming of the Koldo Serra directed feature film Gernika in Guernica, Spain in this June 17, 2015 file photo. Morilla has been working as a stuntman since the age of 16, he tells his story here:

It started with me doing acrobatics training in a gym. Then after doing a trial for Ignacio Carreno, who’s been my boss ever since, I was off. What’s it like being a stuntman? I love it. I have been a bit frightened occasionally but that’s what I enjoy. I’ve got nervous now and again. When I've finished a stunt I feel even better for having done a risky job and for having done it well. I know I’ve been lucky. The only accident I’ve had during work was when I fell down some stairs and twisted my ankle, putting me out of action for a week. As for this photo, when it comes to jumping from ramps, I don’t need to do much training. I’ve been doing it for years. Backward and forward somersaults, pirouettes, they’ve become second nature to me. I prepare for the scene, do all the rehearsals, then off I go. The night before a stunt I don’t sleep because of the excitement. It’s the best thing ever. REUTERS/Vincent West
