Since 1999, AoC has been actively transferring historical combat styles to stage and film. Company members are trained in historical as well as standard stage combat styles. Whatever the aesthetic requirements for your production, AoC has the training and expertise to enhance your show with authentic and realistic combat sequences.

Our classes and workshops range from basic to advanced techniques in a variety of weapons and combat styles. Whether the training needed is for beginning students just picking up a weapon, or veteran stage combatants looking to refresh their skills, AoC can tailor a class for any situation.
