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

Instruction is offered in unarmed, rapier, longsword, small-sword, and a variety of other western martial arts. AoC fight directors have been actively transferring historical combat styles to stage and film for over a decade. Students are trained in historical as well as standard combat styles for stage and screen. Our training and expertise has enhanced theatre, film and TV with authentic and realistic combat sequences all around the world.

These ongoing classes will offer individualized training based on what you want to learn. Drop-ins are always welcome and preregistration is not required.

This training is perfect for Stage and Screen actors as well as Opera Singers and Dance performers. Once you understand the fundamentals of a system we will examine your fights in the context of scenes drawing from classical and contemporary material to study dramatic and comedic situations.

Some of the things you can learn in class include; unarmed, knife, longsword, sword & shield, axe, rapier (Italian or Spanish), small-sword, sabre (Northern Italian, Southern Italian or Spanish), short-sword, quarterstaff, spear and improvised weapons.
