Stage Combat Classes
Check out our different workshops for all levels!
Want to learn how to fight for stage and screen? Then this workshop is for you! ActingHour have teamed up with Strike Fight Company to bring you a series of workshops that will allow you to master the skills to fight confidently and safely for performance.
|
Our regular 2 hour workshops will allow you to learn at your own pace and in a way that is affordable and flexible to your schedule, if you can't make a class one week then it won't matter! Our instructors will keep a record of your progress as you train and once you are ready for the next level they'll let you know it's time to advance to the intermediate class.
Strike Fight Company are a team of highly trained fight directors and performers who want to train actors in a new and really exciting skill - stage combat - in a way that's safe, authentic and fun. Trained at East 15 in the highly recognised Acting and Stage Combat course, they work with various weapon systems including swords, knives and fists. Want to learn something to make you stand out? Come along! |
Josh is an actor and fight performer, who has a really love of telling a story through fighting. His training at East 15 taught him how to link authentic staged violence into performance and character drive, and he enjoys doing so with interesting and impulsive choreography. He's worked with various youth theatres, teaching both acting & combat, and loves working with other actors.
Michael is an actor, performer and stage combatant with a background in martial arts (black belt in Tae Kwon-Do). He believes that stage combat is not only a useful skill in and of itself for an actor, but also is a fantastically useful tool in informing your acting and cementing all your character decisions.

Unarmed Combat
In these workshops you will train in unarmed combat, learning the skills that are the foundation for all stage combat. Learn how to do it safely, how to master it so that it looks realistic, and how to sell it to an audience. Once you have completed all three levels and are deemed competent by our instructors then you will receive your ActingHour and Strike Fight Company certificate of completion!
Please Note: Everyone must attend a beginners workshop first (even if you have previous combat experience) so that our instructors can determine your skill level and which class you should be in, this is for the safety of all of our workshop attendees. (Plus it can't hurt to re-visit the basics every now and then!)
Please do not buy tickets for a higher level class until our instructor has told you you can move up a level as it will slow down your progress of completing the course. Happy fake fighting everyone!
