Description

Learn to create and perform extraordinary fights for stage and screen.

Conflict is the essence of great theatre, film or TV. Whether it’s a simple push, slap or a complex sword fight, it’s rare to have a storyline that doesn’t call for some sort of violence. This needs to be performed safely while making certain the violence appears realistic and truthful so the story being told is enhanced.

The ongoing format allows you to start anytime and offers individualized training based on your needs and skill level. Various styles are taught concurrently.

    It was an outstanding experience. The instructors were amazing. They kept our safety ad experience level in mind the entire time yet still challenged us to do more. I can't wait until it's offered again, so many more levels yet to achieve. And the fellow students were supportive and just fun to be around.
