Ryan Doyle (born 22 September 1984) is a freerunner, martial artist, coach, and actor from Liverpool, England,[1] and is a founding athlete of the World Freerunning and Parkour Federation.[2] Despite poor eyesight, he is two-time winner of the Red Bull Art of Motion competition, and is officially sponsored by Red Bull energy drink.[3]

He was a cast member of MTV's Ultimate Parkour Challenge in 2010,[4] and played the role of Finch in the 2011 movie Freerunner.[5]

In his teenage years, Doyle trained in the Korean martial art of Kuk Sool Won,[2] and he developed his style by adding his own freerunning movements to the martial arts techniques he learned.[3] He began his career by winning the 2007 Art of Motion competition in Vienna, but in the same competition he had the misfortune to break his leg while attempting a trick from a 12–foot jump during the finals. This left him with a plate on his fibula and a 33 cm bar with 14 screws down the core of his shin bone. Despite this setback he made a full recovery,[3] In 2011 he won the Art of Motion competition again.[6] He received 8th place in the Red Bull Art of Motion 2012 (staged in Santorini, Greece), following a tour applying acrobatics at seven world wonders.[7] Ryan's Doyle's Travel Story[8] won "Best International Series" on YouTube at the YouTube Streamy Awards 2013[9]
