Specialties
Learn to create and perform extraordinary fights for screen and stage. 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. What is Class Like? NYC Combat for Screen and Stage is an ongoing group class that allows you to train on an individual basis. All skill levels are welcome. Our class is designed in an ongoing format to build upon your skill level and goals as a performer. Various styles are taught concurrently; on a given night you may be working on Unarmed combat while others are working on Longsword, another group on Knife, or a pair working on Choreography for a project!
