The Academy of Academy of Theatrical Combat & SAGA Action Arts have teamed up to present, THE ACTION HERO ACADEMY, a collaborative training experience for actors & stunt performers looking to master multiple disciplines of combat, action performance, and acting for film & television.

Brawling makes up the majority of violence in film and serves as a foundation for all other styles of film fighting. Our brawling curriculum focuses on giving students the tools necessary to ensure any hand-to-hand fight they perform is safe AND looks great on camera.

Featuring training in Cutlass, Broadsword, Staff, Rapier & Dagger, Smallsword, Katana, and more! – This is a highly developed and industry-proven curriculum as taught by some of Hollywood’s leading swordfight designers, choreographers, and coaches!

Our Kali & Knife system draws from various styles of Filipino Martial Arts. Learn the combat style that has taken the industry by storm in films/tv shows such as Dune, Arrow, Deadpool, and the Jason Bourne franchise.

Learn to get around on the ground – SAFELY! Upgrade your ability not just to fight, but take the hits that will make your character’s journey that much more dramatic.

Improve your action adaptability and get your blood pumping as you are introduced to both the practical and theatrical implementation of various forms of martial arts.

Learn how to make choreography “look real” from any camera angle. The more performers and choreographers understand how the camera sees combat, the more effective their action will be and the less amount of takes they will need to create a sense of realistic danger and excitement.
