The European Certificate of Skilled Performance Combat is quickly becoming recognised as one of the most theatrically
effective and historically accurate stage combat training schemes available. The ECSPC treats performance combat tuition
like any other combat or martial art training by focusing on mechanics and techniques rather than just teaching a single
extended fight routine “by-the-numbers” in the way that other organisations teach. Students are taught how to consistently
perform combat actions both in isolation and as part of a performance fight, improve balance and coordination, learn the
skills of acted aggression and gain an understanding of how to link actions and choreograph dramatic fight routines.
