Modern American
Looking for that John Wick Bad ass style, but more manageable for the untrained actor? No worries. I choreograph based on the experience and skill level of the actor, and take into consideration the filming style of the movie, as well as the actual character’s personality in constructing fight scenes.
Trained Physicality
There are just some things you can’t teach actors. Sense of distance. A relaxed body language. Fluidity. These things take years to master. So if you need a trained pro for a fight scene, look no further. This fight scene was learned and filmed in one day.
