Black Lives Matter, Today and Every Day!
We at Neutral Chaos Combat want to clearly state that we oppose racism and oppression of any kind. We condemn the violence against Black Americans by the police. We acknowledge the systemic racism that exists in our society; and our own privilege of being able to teach what we are passionate about in our studio. To those who are suffering and calling for action - we stand with you. We have a lot of work ahead of us and are invested in making change happen at an organizational level for our community in this moment and beyond. Be safe, be strong, and act with compassion.
The studio remains closed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even so, we are excited to be offering a new series called Combat Conditioning, blending fitness and technique training as we seek to build a healthy foundation for practicing the athleticism of our art form.
Combat Conditioning
Join Neutral Chaos' in-house fitness expert, Alli Green, and founding instructors Rob Aronowitz and Jason Paul Tate for a four week series in skill building through the lens of healthy organic body mechanics. Each class will blend fitness and technique, breaking down the fundamentals of combat movements to identify what muscles we are recruiting to generate power, fluidity and stability.

Neutral Chaos Classes & Visiting Artists
All our regularly scheduled classes meet once a week for a minimum of ten weeks. At course end, you'll have completed thirty hours of training in a weapon of your choosing, including performing choreography built to highlight your newfound skillset in the context of a scene. Visit the Classes page to learn more.
You can also check out our Visiting Artists page for more classes coming your way taught by our out of town artists and partners!
And you can always connect with us on Facebook to learn more and keep up to date with additional offerings throughout the year.
Skills Proficiency Testing and Renewals
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.
For those of you familiar with the Skills Proficiency Test process, we also offer renewals throughout the year. If you are in need of a renewal, and it is not currently amongst the weapons being offered in a given session, please send us an email and let us see how soon we can help you out.
