Stage Combat/ Choreography Lessons??

G'day All I’ve seen a few members inquiring about stage combat courses. There seems to be a genuine interest in violence on stage/film :) And why not!!! It is a fantastic skill to have and always looks good on a CV. My question is then…what is the genuine feel out there if a school was created to teach people stage combat??? I’ve been doing martial arts for over 7 years and my brother and I are both professional Choreographers. We are currently doing martial arts scenes for an animation that, if all goes well, will be show and sold to Hollywood. We are also currently helping out for an amateur dramatics stage play where we will be teaching people how to fight with a scythe (Death’s weapon). Ultimately it is always easier when people have had training in martial arts but I just want to get a feel for what people think… Let me know…Oh and don’t forget to smile :) David Green DRAGON FILMS

No worries, Jeff. Apology accepted and no offence taken. Your candour and forthright manner is refreshing and I really appreciate it. Actually, I should thank you since your posting inspired me to write (at length!) about a subject I feel so passionately about. Cost and other obstacles to training such as geography, accessability, etc. are a bugger, but I promise you one thing here and now: if I ever win Powerball, boy oh boy, the Stage Combat Milky Bars are on me! In the meantime, feel free to keep in touch and I'm sure our paths (and blades) will cross sooner rather than later. Happy Swashbuckling! Andy Fraser Fight Director
