Although every effort is made to provide full and accurate details here, no responsibility is accepted for any loss, damage or injury of any type caused to people acting upon the information on this page. If intending to go to any workshop listed here, you must contact the people running the course or check their websites to ensure you have the latest and most accurate details before spending any money or making any travel/accommodation arrangements. I do not endorse any of the instructors, organisations or workshops listed here. Use your own judgement before deciding to risk your life and limbs to the people offering training!

If you live in Wellington or Auckland I sometimes teach individual and group stage combat classes. I can also sometimes be available to travel elsewhere in New Zealand for a guaranteed minimum number of participants for a workshop. If interested, please contact me at stunts@paradise.net.nz or if you would like a workshop included here, please send me the full details. NB: I am soon phasing out listing individual workshops and will instead only point people to the following site links that often have workshop/training information. Scroll down for listings while I still find time to do them!

For stunt and stage combat schools around the world go to the Recommended Links section. In the UK, BADC, BASSC, and YoungBlood run courses throughout the year. In the USA, regular classes are held by Swordplay Fencing Studios, They Fight!, and the SAFD. Also Asylum Stunts (Chicago), Roberta Brown (LA), Swordplay Stage Combat (NYC), The Academy of Combative Arts and Phi-Long Nguyen in Florida, The Maine Academy of Stage Combat, and The Ring of Steel in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In Australia, regular weekly classes are held by the Sydney Stage Combat School. NB: Read my article on stunt schools before deciding whether or not to attend one (as distinct from stage combat schools).

The following Yahoo! groups often have information about stage combat training:

I also recommend checking the Stuntplayers forums for occasional stunt driving or other specialist stunt training sessions in the USA.
