Dates: Option A - 4th August (Sat) and 5th August (Sun). Option B - 4th August (Sat) and 18th August (Sat). Some people are unable to make Sundays so for them I have the option of doing the weapons day two weeks later on a Saturday.

Payment can be made by direct credit into my bank account (please email me for details) or by posting a cheque (made out to Peter Hassall) to PO Box 27432, Marion Street, Wellington, 6141. When you pay please let me know whether you are doing option A or option B.  In cases of genuine financial hardship  I am happy for people to pay off the course cost. Please email me first to arrange this.
Course outline:
Saturday: unarmed staged combat techniques - stage slaps, stage fainting, throwing punches and kicks, basic breakfalls, shoulder roll, etc. These are the techniques used by actors and stunt people for live show and film/TV fight scenes. Sunday (or 2nd Saturday for option B): medieval long sword/broadsword, staff, and modern weapon fights. We will be using lightweight prop weapons. Techniques include body blows and disarms.
