Stage combat is a theatrical endeavor with the ultimate goal of entertaining an audience. Each fight is choreographed by the performer to reflect the character they are playing and the story that is being told. Classes will cover combat technique as well as acting within the fight.
Our stage combat classes are designed for ages 14 and up. Performing this type of activity requires a mature attitude to maintain the necessary level of safety. If you are under 14 and interested in stage combat, please contact the Training Coordinator at training@thievesguilde.org. Interested performers under 14 will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Please review our safety standards, policies and rules for additional information.
Training is outside so you will need to bring sunscreen and water/Gatorade. If you intend to take several classes, we also recommend you bring a snack. Other items we highly recommend for training is leather gloves and a mat/towel for stretches.
Come in athletic clothing that allows free movement and that you don't mind getting dirty (this includes shoes which must be closed-toe and secure on the foot).
You will also need to bring a notarized waiver and completed medical/insurance form to participate.
Classes are being held at Green Tree Park (in Gainesville) located on the corner of NW 39th Avenue and 19th Street.
In the chance of rain, there is a possibility of a change in location if not complete cancellation of the class. Please contact the instructor for specific details.
