In addition, Jared teaches traditional Classical & Historical Fencing as well as Personal Defense & Knife. Come study a variety of historical European weapons or unarmed arts.
Training can be done in a variety of ways to suit the student:
- Private Lessons – Training one-on-one with an instructor is the fastest way to learn. This is understood in voice, music and many other arts. Imagine trying to take a group piano lesson! Inquire for more details.
- Group Classes – Much more cost effective, training is done over a longer period of time. The NYC Combat for Screen & Stage class is a great place to get started or in NJ you can study here.
- Master Classes/Seminars – An intensive group training can be done anywhere. It could 2 hours in addition to your acting program’s curriculum, 10 hours over a weekend, or anything in between. A good example of this are the monthly Sunday Seminars or the NYCSS Screen & Stage Combat Summer Intensive.
- Team Building Workshops – By interacting on a different level your employees will build better relationships, become more comfortable with each other and establish a foundation of trust that will help them succeed in the workplace.
