Watch Super Swordfighting Techniques Beginner Instruction

Two of the best education tools for sword play on camera or stage. Instructors Alina Andrei and Mark Edward Lewis are two Award-Winning Hollywood professionals who bring their mastery of the art of stunt sword play to your students. Each program teaches industry standard techniques for body position, parrying, striking, footwork, proper execution, kills, dangerous-looking moves along with example fights that students can use in stage productions. Instructors teach students the industry standard French numeric system that nearly every sword choreographer uses to create their fights. Using single-handed weapons, this number system will allow students to quickly and easily create a vocabulary to get ready for performance. This system includes strikes and parries that can be altered and stylized to look European, Asian, or Alien depending on the creativity. They also teach the swipe to the head, how to kill an opponent in such a way that the audience cringes, and how to do all of this safely while selling it to the camera. Includes several pre-choreographed fights that demonstrate how all of these techniques work into a full-speed battle.
