Course programme

The course is practical with all weapons and instruction provided. The class sessions will cover many different technical skills and how to perform those techniques so they are believable to an audience. Students will spend the first part of the course engaging in exercises to master the techniques and will then move on to studying the choreography for the Fight Performance Test.


This is a practical course where teaching is done by instructor demonstration followed by students working in pairs. Students will be expected to engage in Q&A sessions with the tutor as part of the group learning process. A certain amount of physical and mental stamina is required.
