"SSCS EAST MEETS WEST WORKSHOP 30 Sep - 03 Oct 2011"
Dear Friends, Warriors and Combatants,
We are very happy to announce that we are running a 4 day Intensive workshop and are very pleased that Sifu Jason King will be a Guest Instructor.
This workshop is "East Meets West", and is going to contain weapons and fighting styles from China and Medieval Europe. Sifu Jason will be teaching 'Empty Hand Kung-fu, Dao (Chinese Sabre) and Chinese Spear', and I will be offering 'Pankration (the Martial Art of the Ancient Greeks), German Longsword and I:33 Sword & Buckler'.
The new dates are Fri Sept 30th to Mon Oct 3rd, and the times are 9:00am to 5:00pm daily. The workshop cost is only $500 and we have secured a new space to work in at the 'Legs on the Wall' facility that we are very excited about.
More information will be coming soon but I wanted to let everyone know asap. For more info or to make a booking please contact me directly.

"SSCS MASTERCLASSES"
SSCS Masterclasses are a one day Stage Combat experience. Designed as an introduction to Stage Combat they cover a variety of different weapons and combat systems. Each Masterclass covers the basics of footwork, balance, combat movement, timing, offensive and defensive techniques, partnership, safety and fun. All Masterclasses finish with a short piece of choreography to see how the techniques learnt through-out the day come together for use in performance. Masterclasses are an exciting day that are open and appropriate to everyone who has ever had a love of swords and sword movies and had the desire to try it in a safe and supportive environment. Everything we do is about partnership and performance. We do not spar or train in a competitive nature. Ever. No prior experience is necessary.
details for the next series of Masterclasses for 2011
'Masterclasses 2011'
After a poll I took at Casual Classes last year the SSCS Masterclasses for 2011 are based on your choices and are as follow, however if there is something you really want that isn't here then let me know, and if the interest is there we'll see what we can do." BASIC LEVEL CERTIFICATE COURSE"
This is a one week intensive course and covers 'Unarmed' and 'Single Theatrical Sword' for the stage and screen. As this is a certified workshop it culminates in an exam. The exam consists of you and a partner learning a piece of choreography, which includes elements of both systems, and then performing that choreography within the context of a scene complete with dialogue. This is all covered within the week. You spend the first half of the week learning the techniques and the second working on the exam choreo. The fight is choreographed and directed by the Instructor.
The next course being offered in 2011.
When: November 20th - 26th
Time: 9:00am to 5:00pm Daily
Where: TBC
Cost: $525.00
Workshop fee includes the instruction and your certification examination fee.
'INTERMEDIATE LEVEL CERTIFICATE COURSE'
This is the next step for serious Actor/Combatants that have completed their 'Basic Certification' requirements. This one week intensive workshop takes a much more historically accurate approach to Stage Combat and strengthens, heightens and extends upon your skills. Covering four different combat systems (Units); 'Rapier & Dagger', 'Dueling Sword', 'Martial Arts for the Stage & Screen' and 'Asian Staff', this is a truly challenging week that will change the way you view and approach fight scenes on stage forever, but the rewards are worth ever drop of sweat. As with all certification workshops this week will end with a performance fight scene in each style.
(N.B. If it had been a while since you completed your Basic, or had a sword in your hand, and you wish to participate in this workshop I strongly suggest that you try to get to a few Casuals beforehand. As mentioned the new curriculum is quite challenging and you need a reasonable level of skill to start this workshop if you expect success.)
When: TBC
Time: 9:00am - 5:00pm Daily
Where : TBC
Cost: $1020.00 ($255.oo per Unit)
