Staff

From Robin Hood to Neverwhere, from Ip Man to Pacific Rim, the staff has been seen in fights across media. Having been used across cultures around the world since long branches could be found, the staff is one of the most diverse and fluid weapons at our disposal. 

Join Society of American Fight Directors’ Certified Teacher Jonathan Ezra Rubin of Fire & Ice Movement Arts for a 30+ contact-hour skills proficiency class in Staff, a primary SAFD weapon discipline. 

This 2-week intensive course will stretch out from January 27th – February 9th, with classes on most weekday evenings and some weekend days. The course will teach and provide opportunities for students to learn all of the required Staff Techniques for the optional Skills Proficiency Test on the final day of the course.

During the class, students will learn a piece of choreography for performance that incorporates those Staff techniques, and if they so choose, have it adjudicated by an SAFD Fight Master for certification in Staff on February 9th.
