School of Performance Combat
ECSPC STAGE COMBAT TRAINING:
Our
unique
approach
to
teaching
stage
combat
has
allowed
STAGEFIGHT
and
the
ECSPC
qualification
to
become
recognised
as
one
of
the
most
practical
and
historically accurate performance combat systems currently available.
Our
courses
meet
and
exceed
the
levels
of
safety
and
standard
of
tuition
of
any
other
performance
combat
system
and
has
become
an
industry
accepted
qualification for stage and screen productions.
Training
with
STAGEFIGHT
and
the
ECSPC
focuses
on
technical
elements
that
make
choreographed
fight
routines
much
safer
and
more
controlled.
Our
proven
techniques
have
created
‘
battle-ready
’
actors
and
have
helped
to
place
many
of
our
student
into
action
roles
for
both
the
stage
and
screen,
and
as
special
combat
extras
in
productions
such
as
Game
of
Thrones
,
Vikings
,
Last
Kingdom
and
Doctor Who
.
ECSPC QUALIFICTION COURSES:
We
teach
basic,
intermediate
and
advanced
level
stage
combat
courses
covering
a
range
of
different
armed
and
unarmed
disciplines.
These
disciplines
include
classical,
medieval,
renaissance
and
early
modern
period
weapons.
Each
qualification
level
builds
on
the
previous
levels
training
to
develop
well-
trained
and
‘battle-ready’
actors.
The
ECSPC’s
advanced
qualification
is
currently
the
only
stage
combat
qualification
that
includes
multiple
opponent
training (i.e. fighting more that one opponent) as part of the course.
LEVEL-1-BASIC:
LEVEL-2-INTERMEDIATE:
LEVEL-3-ADVANCED:
Level-1-Basic
is
the
foundation
course
that
teaches
the
basic
techniques
of
stage
combat.
Three
combat
disciplines
are
taught;
UNARMED
COMBAT
and
DAGGER
,
these
two
systems
form
the
basis
of
performance
combat
and
are
commonly
used
for
stage
and
screen
productions.
The
third
discipline
is
normally
a
SWORD
system
of
the
instructors
choosing.
The
course
improves
balance
and
coordination,
and
teaches
basic
choreography,
linking
actions,
acting the fight, stagecraft, and safety during traiing and performance.
Level-2-Intermediate
is
designed
to
introduce
students
to
performance
combat
using
weapons
that
require
heightened
coordination.
Students
will
be
taught
how
to
safely
handle
one
of
the
largest
weapons
used
on
stage
to
one
of
the
most
complex.
The
syllabus
includes;
QUARTERSTAFF
,
LONGSWORD
and
RAPIER & DAGGER
.
Level-3-Advanced
is
the
most
challenging
of
our
students
training
courses.
Unlike
other
performance
combat
systems
that
just
add
more
and
more
weapons
at
each
level
(some
that
are
rarely
used
on
stage)
the
ECSPC
only
introduces
two
more
systems,
but
revisits
previous
weapon
systems
from
the
view
of
combating
multiple
opponents.
We
are
currently
the
ONLY
stage
combat
training
scheme
that
offers
multiple
opponent
combat
training
at
an
advanced
level.
The
syllabus
includes;
SMALLSWORD
,
SWORD
&
SHIELD
,
MEDIEVAL SWORDS
and
MULTIPLE OPPONENT COMBAT
.
ECSPC TRAINING COURSES & CLASSES:
We
run
regular
courses
and
classes
throughout
the
year.
Weekly
classes
currently
run
at
The
Blue
Orange
Theatre
in
Birmingham,
West
Midlands.
They
normally
run
over
three
terms
of
10-weeks
(30-weeks
total)
and
finishes
with
a
final
examination
that
tests
choreography,
isolated
actions,
practical
and
theoretical knowledge for each level of training.
Our
intensive
stage
combat
courses
normally
run
over
6-days
are
currently
held
annually around Easter, over the summer and in autumn.
Students
must
have
successfully
completed
each
training
level
before
moving
onto
the
next.
For
both
weekly
classes
and
intensive
courses
all
attendees
must
be
18+
years
minimum
and
have
a
reasonable
level
of
fitness
and
mobility.

WEAPONS & TRAINING EQUIPMENT:
At
STAGEFIGHT
we
are
continually
investing
in
theatrical
weaponry
that
is
safe,
practical
and
historically
accurate.
Unlike
other
stage
combat
organisations
that
substitute
whatever
weapons
they
have
available,
we
always
try
to
teach
with
the
correct
weaponry
and
equipment
for
the
discipline
being
studied.
We
believe
it
is
essential
for
all
those
who
train
with
us
to
fully
understand
the
handling
characteristics
of
different
types
of
weapons.
This
ensures
that
our
students
gain
a
thorough
understanding
of
the
system
and
a
greater
appreciation
of
the
mechanics
and
techniques
for
more
exciting
and
dramatic
performances.

School of Performance Combat
ECSPC SCREEN COMBAT TRAINING:
Popular
TV-shows
such
as
Game
of
Thrones
and
Vikings
and
the
boom
in
independant
fim
production
has
created
great
opportunites
for
actors
and
stunt
professionals
alike.
These
productions
call
for
well-trained
actors
skilled
in
various
combat
disciplines
that
have
experience
of
fighting
on
film
and
working on a film set.
As
with
all
ECSPC
training,
our
screen
combat
courses
go
beyond
the
‘
set-fight
routine
’
methods
of
other
training
courses
and
have
been
specifically
designed
to
provide
actors
with
the
practical
training
neeeded
to
become
a
successful
screen
combatant.
These
courses
can
also
help
martial
artists
make
the
transition to working on screen.
Minimum age is 18+ years for all our screen combat courses.
SCREEN COMBAT: FALLS & JERKS
This
is
an
additional
course
to
our
screen
combat
training
that
is
taught
by
an
experienced
stunt
coordinator.
Our
“Falls
&
Jerks”
course
is
designed
to
introduce
actors
to
the
basic
skills
of
falls
and
jerk
backs
that
are
commonly
used
during
fights
in
action
sequences.
This
is
an
essential
skill
for
any
screen
actor, action combatant or stunt professional.
SCREEN COMBAT COURSE AND STAGE COMBAT:
Stage
combat
and
screen
combat
share
similar
principles
but
are
very
seperate
disciplines.
Stage
combat
teaches
actors
how
to
effectively
perform
a
set
fight
sequence
that
is
to
be
performed
before
a
live
audience
once
per
show.
Screen
combat
requires
an
actor
to
perform
fight
routines
both
in-sequence
and
out-
of-sequence
while
maintaining
the
same
level
of
physical
and
mental
intensity
in
front
of
a
non-fixed
audience
(the
camera)
multiple
times
over
many
hours
or
even days.
An
understanding
of
stage
combat
and/or
martial
arts
can
be
useful
when
making
the
transition
from
live
fight
performance
to
successful
screen
fighter,
but
there
are
many
elements
to
screen
combat
that
are
not
relevant
to
stage
combat and vice-versa.
As
such
we
ask
all
performers
interested
in
becoming
screen
combatants
to
attend
our
1-day
STANDARD
COURSE,
as
this
introduces
many
of
the
differences
that
are
fundamental
to
screen
combat.
This
acts
as
a
foundation
to all future levels of our screen combat courses.
S

School of Performance Combat
STAGEFIGHT
was
established
by
Raph
Aldis
in
2004
in
the
West
Midlands
region
of
the
United
Kingdom
to
fill
a
gap
that
had
developed
in
stage
combat
tuition
outside
of
the
London
area.
For
many
years,
actors
wishing
to
train
in
stage
combat
were
forced
to
travel
to
London
for
regular
training
or
would
have
to
wait
for
the
occasional
workshop
to
be
run
locally.
With
the
aims
of
supporting
central
and
northern
based
actors
STAGEFIGHT
offered
the
opportunity
to
train
and
qualify
in
stage
and
screen
combat
without
the
added
expense
of
long
distance travel and accommodation.
It
was
a
difficult
start
and
an
uphill
struggle
as
the
general
mindset
was
if
I
want
to
learn
stage
combat
I
have
to
go
to
London
.
Slowly,
over
the
next
few
years,
STAGEFIGHT
began
to
be
recognised
as
a
teaching
alternative
to
the
London-based
organisations
and
began
to
attract
attention
from
actors
and
theatre
production
companies
from
the
South
West
all
the
way
up
into
Scotland.
Being
centrally
based
made
it
easier
(and
cheaper)
for
actors
to
train
closer
to
home,
while
allowing
STAGEFIGHT
to
travel
all
over
the
country
to
choreograph
shows
and
run stage combat workshops and courses.
‘THE QUALITY CONTROL BUILDING’
STAGEFIGHT’s training venue in the old Tomkinson’s
Carpet Factory in Kidderminster. The site was
redeveloped to build a supermarket and housing estate.
I
n
2006,
STAGEFIGHT
moved
into
the
‘QUALITY
CONTROL
BUILDING’
that
was
part
of
the
derelict
Tomkinson’s
Carpet
Factory
in
Kidderminster.
It
was
an
old
and
drafty
building
with
holes
in
the
walls,
gaps
around
the
windows
and
no
heating.
After
repairing
the
floor
and
cladding
the
walls,
this
became
the
home
of
STAGEFIGHT
for
several
years.
The
building
was
always
cold.
In
winter
months
dedicated
students
trained
in
multiple
layers
of
clothing,
wearing
woollen
hats
or
balaclavas.
This
made
classes
look
more
like
a
thieves
convention
than
stage
combat
training.
STAGEFIGHT
also
began
to
run
basic
stage
combat
qualification
courses,
using
the
set
fight
routine
method used by many stage combat organisations.
The
turning
point
for
STAGEFIGHT
came
in
2008
when
Raph
was
invited
to
judge
at
a
medieval
and
renaissance
stage
combat
tournament
held
annually
in
Northern
Italy.
The
tournament
called
for
the
performance
of
historically
accurate
stage
combat
routines
and
not
the
Hollywood
style
techniques
that
were
traditionally
taught
by
stage
combat
organisations.
During
the
event
Raph
met
Alberto
Di
Candia,
an
Italian
fight
director,
historical
combat
practitioner
and
stage
combat
instructor.
This
meeting
began
both
a
friendship
and
a
dialogue
that
planted
the
seed
for
the
future
growth
and
development
of
STAGEFIGHT
and
its
training
method.
Returning
to
Italy
the
following
year,
STAGEFIGHT
members
Ian
Page
and
Ben
Hart
presented
an
18th
Century
smallsword
fight
based
on
the
techniques
of
Domenico
Angelo.
This
was
the
first
time
a
British
team
had
ever
performed
at
the
event.
The
routine
was
well
received
and
awarded
fourth place.
The
seed
that
had
been
planted
in
2008
quickly
began
to
grow.
Having
shared
similar
experiences
during
their
early
tuition,
Raph
and
Alberto
felt
that
stage
and
screen
combat
could
benefit
from
going
beyond
the
set
fight
routine
methods
which
were
traditionally
taught
by
stage
combat
organisations.
Both
had
come
from
a
martial
arts
and
fencing
background
and
believed
that
adopting
a
mechanics
and
techniques
approach
would
not
only
increase
the
safety
of
performance
combat,
it
would
also
improve
the
historical
accuracy.
A
mechanics
and
techniques
approach
to
training
would
also
introduce
students
to
many
of
the
beautifully
illustrated
manuscripts
and
historical
fight
manuals
that
were
being
studied
by
historical
combat
enthusiasts.
Since
the
late
nineties
historical
fight
books
from
the
early
medieval
through
to
the
renaissance
were
being
studied,
revived
and
developed
into
the
combat
sport
of
HEMA
(Historical
European
Martial
Arts).
Traditional
stage
combat
tuition
tended
to
ignore
these
resources
in
favour
of
teaching
a
set
fight
routine
using
a
range
of
different
weapons,
that
effectively
used
techniques
that
were
largely
based
on
Modern
Olympic
Fencing.
Although
this
approach
could
create
very
dynamic
and
exciting
fight
routines,
it
encouraged
the
belief
that
all
weapons
(particularly
swords)
were
used
in
exactly
the
same
way,
and
that
western
weapons,
such
as
medieval
swords
and
rapiers,
were
inferior
to
their Japanese and Chinese counterparts.
‘BRAVING THE COLD’
Training in the The Quality Control Building
Since
its
birth
in
2004
STAGEFIGHT
had
always
believed
in
the
journey
of
learning,
discovery,
trial
and
development.
STAGEFIGHT
instructors
had
travelled
all
over
the
United
Kingdom
and
parts
of
Europe,
attending
classes,
trialling
workshops
and
developing
a
performance
combat
system
that
was
based
on
techniques
drawn
directly
from
historical
resources,
but
could
also
maintain
the
flare
and
dynamism
of
Hollywood-style
fights.
Meeting
and
working
with
Alberto
helped
to
direct the pathway of discovery.
Late
in
2010,
Raph
Aldis
and
Ian
Page
travelled
to
Alberto’s
home
in
Turin,
Italy
to
finalise
the
performance
combat
system
that
began
its
development
in
2004.
A
training
scheme
that
offered
basic,
intermediate
and
advanced
level
stage
and
screen
combat
qualifications,
taught
with
a
martial
arts
mechanics
and
techniques
approach.
The
system
was
flexible
enough
to
encompass
of
a
range
of
weapon
systems
and
it
would
ensure
they
were
presented
with
historical
accuracy
and
dynamic
flare.
The
system
was
christened
the
EUROPEAN
CERTIFICATE
OF
SKILLED
PERFORMANCE
COMBAT
or
The
ECSPC.
It
would
be
taught
initially
in
Italy
by
LAME
REBELLI
(Rebel
Blades)
Alberto’s
school
in
Turin,
and
by
STAGEFIGHT
in
the
United
Kingdom.
‘STAGEFIGHT ABROAD’

Presenting a smallsword fight based on the methods of
Domenico Angelo in Italy (2009)
The
ECSPC
training
scheme
was
launched
in
the
UK
during
2011.
Weekly
classes
began
at
The
Blue
Orange
Theatre
in
Birmingham
that
quickly
became
popular
and
fully
booked.
Intensive
training
courses
followed
at
Easter
and
during
the
summer.
Since
it’s
launch
our
classes
and
course
development
has
gone
from
strength
to
strength.
ECSPC
basic,
intermediate
and
advanced
qualifications
rapidly
became
industry
accepted,
with
many
of
our
students
gaining
combat
orientated
roles
in
both
stage
and
screen
productions;
in
many
cases
being
complimented
on
the
skill,
competence
and
professionalism
they
displayed.
Shortly
thereafter
followed
screen
combat
training,
theatre
and
film
firearms
tuition
and
in
2015
the
Level-4-Instructor
Training Programme.
STAGEFIGHT
has
grown
out
of
a
passion
for
performance
combat
and
historical
combat
research.
Our
success
is
largely
based
on
the
dedication
of
its
students
and
instructors.
At
STAGEFIGHT
we
believe
in
quality
and
not
quantity.
Classes
are
kept
small
and
manageable
to
ensure
our
students
receive
the
maximum
exposure
to
training
and
tuition,
while
maintaining
a
safe
and
fun
environment
in
which
to
practice.
STAGEFIGHT
has
earned
a
reputation
for
ensuring
the
highest
levels
of
safety
and
developing
well-trained,
skilled
and
highly
motivated
actor-combatants.
STAGEFIGHT
is
certainly
not
the
largest
performance
combat
training
school,
but
it
is
certainly
one
of
the
best.
‘EXAM DAY 2015’
Basic, Intermediate and Advanced Level students enjoy
exam success and two new instructors (Dan Gough and
Marc Alden Taylor) qualify as ECSPC Instructors.

TESTIMONIALS:
ADRIAN BOUCHET
“I
initially
trained
under
another
organistions
qualification
system
to
advanced
level
and
in
later
years
with
Raph
to
the
same
standard.
I
have
now
worked
with
many
fight
directors
and
stunt
coordinators
using
several
different
systems
and
can
happily
say
that
the
techniques
taught
under
the
ECSPC
by
Raph
have
stood
me
in
the
best
possible
position
to
allow
me
to
go
out
onto
any
stage
or
film/TV
set
with
the
utmost
confidence
and
know
that
there is nothing I will be unable to handle.
Raph
teaches
a
complete
system
of
fighting
(rather
than
simply
a
collection
of
learned
moves)
based
on
the
manuscripts
and
treaties
of
the
original
European
fencing
masters
such
as
Fiore
dei
Liberi.
His
stage
combat
techniques
are
adapted
for
work
in
film
and
he
knows
the
requirements
to
“sell”
any
sequence
in
either
medium.
There
are
many
stage
fight
teachers
out
there.
Do
yourself
a
favour and learn from the best.”

BECOMING AN
ACTION SCREEN ACTOR
An Action Screen Actor is an actor that
is recognised by the entertainments
industry as an action performer with
both training and experience of
fighting in front of the camera.
It is incredibly rare to become an
Action Screen Actor overnight or after
a single training course. Acting is a
skill that requires professional training
from a drama school, independent
course or private lessons that are
specifically geared toward screen
acting and performance.
An Action Screen Actor need to be very
fit and adaptable to a range of roles
and genres. They should train in a
whole range of skills from screen
combat, martial arts, weapon training,
firearms through to gymnastics and
horseriding.
HOW CAN STAGEFIGHT HELP?
An Actors training is never complete.
All of our training courses and
qualifications will add to a
performance resume and provide
essential training and experience in
armd and unarmed combat and
firearms skills.
STAGEFIGHT’s training courses have
helped actors all over the UK and parts
of Europe to gain action orientated
roles on both the stage and screen.
Our qualifications are well-respected
and industry accepted.
BECOMING A
SPECIAL ACTION EXTRA
A Special Action Extra is a supporting
artist that additional training in screen
combat, martial arts, firearms or horse
riding. They could also be someone
with past military or police experience.
Over the last decade Special Action
Extra’s have been employed on film as
background artists for large fight
scenes. Especially good performers
can be called upon to work with the
stunt teams or gain a featured role.
They are not stunt performers and are
not qualified to perform stunts.
A Special Action Extra need to be very
fit and be adaptable to a range of
different roles and genres. No matter
how skilled they are in martial arts, its
advisable for Special Action Extra’s to
have training and experience in the
principles of screen combat.
HOW CAN STAGEFIGHT HELP?
All of our courses will provide essential
training and experience that would
proove useful for Special Action Extra.
Our Stage and Screen Combat and
Weapon Courses are specially
designed to teach how to adapt to
different weapon-systems and genres.
Our Firearms Training can provide
essential experience that can be
difficult to find in the UK.
Falls and Jerks Back Course is a useful
addition to any fighters training.
BECOMING A
STUNT PERSON
A Professional Stunt Performer is a
highly skilled individual that is
employed to undertake action
sequences that are considered too
dangerous for an actor to perform.
Becoming a stunt person requires
time and dedication. Stunt people in
UK must apply for the British JISC
Stunt Register, that requires a
minimum of six sporting disciplines
and experience as a performer or
supporting artist on professional film
productions just to apply.
Once the application to join the
register is accepted the real training
begins! A Professional Stunt
Performer must be extremely fit,
dedicated and willing to be the unsung
heroes that make high octane action
scenes what they are!
HOW CAN STAGEFIGHT HELP?
STAGEFIGHT’s Stage and Screen
Combat and Weapon Courses are
designed to teach actors how to fight
with a range of weaponry that can
assist trainee stunt performers in
gaining roles for professional film
productions.
Our Firearms Training Course can
provide essential experience that can
be difficult to find in the UK.
Falls and Jerk Back Course can also
provide valuable experience in
performing fight related stunts.
