The Combat Simulation: Stage Combat Fitness
A warm and friendly vibe was palpable as soon as I entered the class even though I was a first timer both the instructor and other classmates who were regulars said hello with huge smiles. They were thorough in providing full disclosure that this was the fitness warm up and training class, not the true stage fight choreography, but I already expected that because they sent me a reminder email the day before class with the class title "Combat Simulation". The email provided the address description of facilities and what to expect during class. Class was easy for me to follow because of a few months of prior experience with karate and krav maga, because many of the moves involved incorporate martial arts of kickboxing elements such as roundhouse kicks, upper cuts, jab cross. It was organized like a group fitness class with a playlist of music and each song involving a set of moves that was explained and practiced once in advance. The instructor was energetic and upbeat and occasionally walked over to individual participants to correct or improve form or suggest modifications. The class also incorporated a strength element with squats, deadlifts, bear crawls, Russian twists and other moves done in combination sets. There was also a directed stretch at the end. I felt challenged but not intimidated and at the end other participants who were regulars and professional actor said I did really great for my first time. Some of the other attendees in class were regular stage or tv actors and told me they had taken this and the true stage combat class for over a year and used it in their profession. One of them was also the instructor for the stage combat choreography class and invited me if I would be interested to ever attend her class, and took the time to inquire if I had a preferential interest in either stage or screen acting so they could tailor the class to include instruction for either - like sound effects slaps for stage or camera angles for television. I felt very welcomed and encouraged by this as a new student and would think it a good environment if a budding actor wanted to make contacts among fellow attendees. The facilities and space they provide is very suitable with changing rooms showers and a stretching area and mirrors to be able to look at your form. -

It was an outstanding experience. The instructors were amazing. They kept our safety ad experience level in mind the entire time yet still challenged us to do more. I can't wait until it's offered again, so many more levels yet to achieve. And the fellow students were supportive and just fun to be around. -
