Combat acting skills will give you an advantage in auditions on stage, or film where the role calls for fight sequences.
A good and safely delivered routine is impressive and draws attention. Directors like actors willing to perform action sequences that excite audiences and actors are called on more and more to have combat acting skills.
We’ve created The Combat Acting Guide for performers to be able to include a finished combat acting fight sequence in their portfolio of work or be able to demonstrate ability to take part in safe fighting action.
By following The Combat Acting Guide performers and directors can gain the combat knowledge from professionally trained actors without having to attend costly combat acting workshops.
The guide provides an understanding of the importance of safety and being able to work with others to produce stunning fight sequences.
