After much interest from students and past workshop attendees, we’re happy to be able to offer a full class in Stage Combat, taught by SAFD Fight Master Robb Hunter! The class will culminate in an SAFD-adjudicated presentation of work, allowing students the opportunity to earn certification in the Unarmed discipline.
This course will focus entirely on unarmed combat for actors – the foundational style for almost every stage combat discipline and the one used most frequently. Students will learn many of the techniques that are readily recognized from almost every physical altercation seen on stage or screen: punches, kicks, falls, hair pulls, foot stomps, throws, joint locks, strangles as well as grappling-based techniques including arm bars, ankle and wrist locks, triangles and chokes.
The class will be held Sunday mornings, 10AM-1PM, for the Spring semester. Call the office at 202-232-0714 or register online.
