COURSE DESCRIPTION

YoungBlood is proud to announce our stage combat certification intensive at the European School of Young Performers. Its right in the heart of London, at County Hall on the Southbank. Two internationally recognised Fight Directors will lead this course.  This course is unique in offering a combined UK and Australian basic level sylabus.

This is an excellent course for actors who wish to gain quality stage combat skills for the theatre and film. YoungBlood prides itself on delivering fight training that is highly integrated with the actors approach.  Both instructors are highly experienced in the training of actors, and in fight directing.

Previous martial training (fencing, martial arts, or historical combat) is not required. But if you have it, you will enjoy the training at YoungBlood that much more.

This is an exciting workshop with a very refreshing approach.  Nowhere else will you find stage combat training quite like this.
