QUALIFICATION COURSES OUR SERVICES: FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY: TRAINING & WORKSHOPS: QUALIFICATION COURSES: Email Contact Links About STAGEFIGHT now uses the European Certificate of Skilled Performance Combat qualification scheme for its training and examination format. The European Certificate of Skilled Performance Combat (ECSPC) is quickly becoming recognised as the best and most historically accurate performance combat system available.  Far exceeding the levels of training and safety of other stage combat systems, the European Certification system drawers on and makes safe the teachings and methods from original historical fight manuals rather than just using the modified modern fencing techniques of other systems.  In addition the training ensures a heightened level of performance strength and application. Many years of dedicated research and development in both the UK and Europe has backed the creation of this system.  Training focuses on teaching both techniques and performance on an equal level rather than just teaching how to ‘fight by numbers’ and examinations do not just focus on performing a fight routine. The ECSPC currently focuses on the following combat systems: - - Unarmed Combat - Single-Rapier - Medieval Sword/Longsword - Dagger/Knife - Rapier & Dagger - Sticks/Staves/Quarterstaff - Sword & Shield/Barrier - Smallsword There are four levels of training; Level-1-Basic, Level-2-Intermediate, Level-3-Advanced and Level-4-Instructor.  Qualification results are FAIL, PASS, MERIT and DISTINCTION. All students must attend and pass the Level-1- Basic course which combines the three combat systems of Unarmed Combat (Level-1), Medieval Sword/Longsword/Broadsword (Level-1) and Single-Rapier (Level-1).
