Have you ever watched The Lord of the Rings’ or Game of Thrones’ epic fights without the sound on?
What is that element that engages us on all levels? It’s not just the *ting ting* of the swords, though that’s it’s own kind of satisfying. It’s the MUSIC! It can make or break how epic the fight is. An underscoring that compliments the action or action that matches a song (Guardians of the Galaxy or Kingsman, anyone?)
Interested in how we can play with this? Come check out our Intermediate/Advanced Sunday Seminar that will build an epic LONGSWORD fight to a pre-existing piece of music. You will need to keep the tempo and rhythm of the fight in sync with the music. This will be challenging as it must fit perfectly!
Time permitting, we will also explore how to take that same choreography and fit it into a different piece of music. Each pair of fighters will morph the choreography differently so even though it will be all the same moves, you’ll have very different fights!
Here are a few notes and instructions about entering the space:
- There is a buzzer located next to the front door when you arrive. Buzz 201 to be let in.
- Please make sure no one else is admitted when entering and exiting. You may contact us (instead of buzzing the number) if you need assistance.
- Please arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before the start of class, as there is a class in the space before us.
- When you enter the studio, you must remove your street shoes (there are shelves for storage by the door).
- The space has changing rooms where you will be able to get ready, store your belongings and stretch. Please walk along the wooden floor to get there.
- For training we must wear clean, indoor only shoes on the mats. These should be flat soled if possible and can not be black soled shoes. It will be fine if you need to work in socks or bare feet for the first week or two while you get these shoes.
