Their approach is simple: Real World Tactics - World Class Results. They have taken various aspects of martial arts and combat systems and built them into an easy-to-understand and conceptually consistent program. Performance for the screen / stage is their primary focus of the training - but all techniques are applicable for the "real world". Consequently, they have modified practices to be as safe and intuitive as possible while maintaining the aesthetic and athletic skills needed for this type of work. In this way, no one is too advanced and no one is too novice - we have created a system from the ground up and have designed a uniform language to be used between actors, choreographers and filmmakers that breaks down movements in a uniform way.
