Book Reviews of Stage Combat: Fisticuffs, Stunts, and Swordplay for Theater and Film

Book Review: Awesome book!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are wanting to learn some basic stage combat, this is the book to get! This book helped my students a lot in know different weapons, positions, attacks, and the list goes on! I have been in stage combat for over 6 years and the author really makes the book reader friendly. She goes into such detail and step by step moves. Unfortunately today we have people who think they know how to fight for stage and film, but they are sadly mistaken. I have seen theatre directors injure people because they "think" they know stage combat. Do yourself a favor and get this book!!! Its great for all levels of actors, choreographers and directors!
