What are the Benefits to becoming a member of AoC?

One goal for Art of Combat is to raise the standards and expectations of fights for stage and screen. We accomplish this by holding our members to a high standard of work in their performances and choreography which creates a network of skilled fight people around the world. We also offer continuing education opportunities to help people fully realize the potential of fights in the world of the arts.

As with any organization AoC is only as strong as its members. It is your passion and involvement which help to determine how far AoC can go and how the organization can best serve you. Some membership benefits include:

• Liability insurance. You have access to AoC’s $2 million General Liability Insurance for productions you are working on. (For chapters in the U.S. only at this time. Any members of foreign chapters of AoC who come to the US to work are then covered under this policy.)

• Your resume is posted on the AoC website and you will be eligible to be hired for AoC gigs.  The website gets over 10,000 hits a year so there is a great chance for exposure.

• You have voting privileges in the organization and a voice as far as what you want out of your chapter, which will be determined by what suits the members best.

• Chapters can vote to utilize their dues to help finance workshops, productions, networking events, etc.

• You will receive discounts on various stage combat & historical fencing events.

• You have access to AoC’s resources such as the library, event information, announcements which will help you stay in the loop.

• Assignation of a really cool nickname.
