The Sydney Stage Combat School (SSCS) offers drop-in Casual Classes. Stage Combat is a modern performance art-form that focuses on fun, safe illusions of violence and combat for theatre and film. Feet, fists, swords and daggers, and not a bruise in sight. Whether your needs are professional or personal, The Sydney Stage Combat School’s Casual Class has benefits for everyone. Actors: learn the skills that will make your Hamlet or Cyrano really come to life and keep you and your partner in one piece for the entire show. Non-Actors: you will improve your balance, fitness, co-ordination and self esteem as you develop proven non-injurious Armed and Unarmed historical fighting techniques that are designed to keep you safe. There is no prior training required to start and no pressure to keep up. You train at your own speed and in your own time with the help of the talented staff at the SSCS.

The Sydney Stage Combat School's Casual Classes teach a diverse mixture of weapons and fighting styles, from 17th Century Rapier and Dagger to modern Close Quarters Knife fighting and everything else in between. We study Historic Period Weaponry from Europe and Asia, and play with Fantasy fighting styles from time to time too, and then translate them into safe theatrical versions of the real thing.

If you have never tried Stage Combat before or are looking to brush up for your next audition or certificate course, then this is the place to be. SSCS Casual Classes place an emphasis on fun, fitness, partnership and good technique. It is the perfect way to try stage combat for the first time or to keep your current skills sharp.

If you like what you do in our Casual Classes and you think you would like to delve a bit deeper into Stage Combat, the SSCS also runs several internationally recognised Certificate Courses through out the year at Basic, Intermediate and Advanced Combatant levels. Participants for the SSCS Demo Squad are also selected from the casual classes.

Cost is the same $25 for non-certified combatants and $20 for cerfified combatants.
