This professional development opportunity will investigate various principles in stage combat and martial arts in an intensive format and includes certification in two weapons disciplines with the Society of American Fight Directors (SAFD), if desired.

June 12th-23rd, 2023

Daily Schedule

  • 10am - 1pm: Morning Weapons Session (Unarmed or Smallsword)*

  • 2:30pm - 5:30pm: Afternoon Weapons Session (Rapier & Dagger or Sword & Shield)*

*Participants will choose two weapon disciplines to study, one during each session, morning and afternoon for the duration of the workshop. This amounts to 60 total hours of training and equates to eligibility for SAFD Skills Proficiency Testing.
