Hello all, here just to inform those interested that there are weapons classes being held @ the Carolina Ballet Theater every sunday from 8-10 pm.
The instructor is Jeff Jones, who is a certified SAFD stage combat fight instructor.He is actually one of the very few SAFD instructors in the South East. He choreographes fights for theater and film, and for those who just want to know 'how to' use weapons (armed & unarmed). And if you fill out the questionnaire below, you can get the first class for free so you can give it a try before you buy ;-) Classes are only $20 a class. I just came back from one, and it was really cool. The training was one-on-one and very hands on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In an effort to provide better classes, I am trying to get a feel for the obstacles that prevent people who have expressed interest in stage combat training from being able to attend. Please take a few moments to answer the following questions, then look for an email announcing a revised approach to stage combat classes in the area. (The simplest way to fill it out is select it all, hit reply, then delete the lines that don't apply, leaving only the answers you want.)
In appreciation of your taking the time to fill this out, I will happily give all who respond a $20 credit toward future classes. Please also forward this email to any friends or colleagues that may be interested.
Thank you for your time and interest.
