Fight Choreography

Actors need to know how to “sell” a fight scene on stage or on screen. Good fight choreography isn’t just fancy footwork and showy strikes - it should tell a story.

I’ve been lucky enough to take a few classes with the good people at Sandbox Training Ground. They aim to make fight training accessible to actors of all experience levels. I’m still new to this, but I’ve learned a lot, and had a lot of fun!

Check out some of my Fight Choreo sessions below:

This was my first class in Sandbox’s Lightsaber series.

My fight partner and instructor is Das.

This was the 2nd class I took in their Lightsaber series. We covered some very basic dual-wielding.

My fight partner and instructor is Ethan.

This was their Gladiator series - we're fighting with gladius and shield.

Instead of fighting an instructor, here my fight partner is my actor friend and colleague Yap Yi Kai! We switched roles after.
