Special Announcement!
Neutral Chaos is beyond thrilled to be offering a Shaolin Staff class taught by our dear friend and colleague, Fight Master Michael Chin. Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to train staff through a Kung Fu lens with one of its finest practitioners. This class is open to all levels and will culminate with an opportunity to certify or renew certification with the Society of American Fight Directors (SAFD) if so desired. More info can be found below.
Additional intensive style classes are being discussed and will be advertised here as soon as details are finalized. Check back often for more summer training opportunities in NYC or learn about our summer intensive at the Connecticut Theatre Exchange.

Skills Proficiency Testing
Upon completion of 30 hours of training, you are eligible to test with the Society of American Fight Directors for proficiency in that weapon. This is a great way to highlight your training on your resumé and to meet other members of the performance community at large as it means testing in front of a Fight Master within the organization.
