Stage Combat: Unarmed

Catalog description

An introductory course about creating the illusion of unarmed violence safely on stage. Unarmed combat is the most commonly used form of stage combat, often the most difficult and just as potentially dangerous as fighting with a weapon. Focuses on safety principles, basic combat techniques and vocabulary. Also addresses movement skills (physical awareness, balance, coordination, conditioning) and acting skills within the context of a fight. May lead to an SAFD certification test by the end of the term.
