Unarmed performance combat covers essential skills for every performer, from falling safely to giving/receiving a slap, these are the skills you’ll be relying on most in your combat training arsenal. While these techniques will frequently be called upon on their own, this course will explore the choreography that can be achieved safely with these fundamentals in place.
