Stage combat at its finest!
Seattle Knights Academy Students 2016 - 2017
Have you ever dreamed of being a knight in shining armor rushing into combat with sword held high? Or maybe you’d rather climb atop your steed and feel the pounding of hooves beneath you as you rush forth to face your opponent. Or perhaps you have that mischievous glint in your eye and would like show some land lubber the cut of your jib.
Whatever your preference, the Seattle Knights Academy can teach you to reach these goals and make these fantasies a reality – and with little risk to life and limb! You will learn a combination of skills about stage combat, acting, and creating fight choreography. When you graduate, you will be eligible to participate in our shows and learn how to be larger than life. We will have you swinging steel on the field in front of a live audience or video camera. Then you will know the excitement of hearing the audience cheer for you as you fight for your faction.
