Fight your way to Perth :)

Well here in Perth there is Andy Fraiser and myself (But Andy is far more experience ;)). I know every so often Andy runs workshops and my brother and myself who run our stage combat company are teaching people as we speak and training them up to teach others...but films can be far and few in-between. My best advice is to take up a martial art and start practicing with like minded people who share your interest and start making short fight scenes...it will at least give you practice till you find someone to teach you proper stage combat :) Goodluck David Green DRAGON FILMS

Stage Combat Training in Melbourne

Hello Cassie, For training in Melbourne, I can highly recommend my colleague Felicity Steel. Like me, she is a member of the Society of Australian Fight Directors Inc. and I'm sure she would be able to help you. You can contact her on felicitysteel@hotmail.com Happy Swashbuckling!
