    ​Hey Kristin,

    I live in southern Indiana but have an office in El Segundo. I teach combat at our school and have conducted numerous classes at the International Thespian Festival. What is the timeframe for providing the workshop/ What are you wanting the students to learn? I have a basic introduction and an advanced course. If you'd like to discuss more, you can email me at critfisher@att.net.

    Pamela Z. Sears at Armstrong State University in Savannah, GA is an excellent Stage Combat instructor.  Depending on when this is she may be able to come do a workshop.

    Hey Kristin,

    I would highly recommend looking over the list of Certified Teachers on the Society of American Fight Director's website. These teachers are able to teach all the various weapons and styles and are certified by the organization that is dedicated to stage combat that looks good and real but is also safe. When in doubt, reach out to the specific representative for your region to help find a certified teacher who would be able to teach a workshops.

    Hope this helps!
