Stage-Combat.de welcomes you!

Please look around our new website. We hope you'll be able to find the information you are looking for. As the name suggests we and this website are dedicated to stage combat, particularly stage combat in the German speaking countries.

Stage combat is the art of portraying violence for stage and screen. Of utmost importance in stage combat is keeping the actors safe while at the same time providing the audience with an illusion of danger.

We coordinate stage combat workshops, choreograph fights and teach stage combat. Stage-Combat.de strives to be a platform and network for stage fighters nationally and internationally.

Please bear with us while we are working on the English version of this website. The workshop detail pages are not current at the moment, please check back soon. What is listed below is current however and should give you an overview!
