This was the very 1st Missouri Academy of Staged Combat class. It was presented by SOUND STAGE PRODUCTIONS in St. Louis Missouri. We had 13 students in the basic empty-hand workshop. Not all are shown in this video. This was a beginner level class. These students learned 4 punches, hair-pulls, chokes, knapps and in some cases, low roundhouse kicks, back-hands and head buts. The students were asked to perform these fights slowly, these are not performance level fights, but they do show how far beginner students can come in just one lesson! If this looks like fun to you and you live in or near St. Louis Missouri, visit www.Fight-Director.org and join us!

Actually, many of the performances did come up with motivation... but in the interest of time... I edited most of that out. There's some motivation in some of these fights though... turn the sound up.
