Description

Don't let the title of 'small' fool you. The Small Sword of the eighteenth century is arguably the deadliest sword to appear in Europe and was to dominate the scene of personal defence until the evolution of the gun. 

 

Quick, deadly and the sword of gentleman, courtiers and kings the small sword is just as much a statement of class as it is of violent possibilities. Featured in plays such as 'les Dangerous Liaisons', and films like 'The Count of Monte Cristo' the ability to use one is a useful tool in the actor's box. 

 

During the course students will learn the techniques required to perform an effective smallsword fight. The course will also focus on acting skills and students will be expanding upon their knowledge of performing a dramatic fight scene with dialogue. 

 

Students have the opportunity at the end of the course to take the British Academy of Stage & Screen Combat Fight Performance Test providing industry recognised certification. Please note the examination fee of £35 is collected by ID Fight upon behalf of the BASSC upon course enrolment and will be paid to the BASSC. If you do not wish to take the fight performance test please let us know before the commencement of the course and we can refund you the £35.
