FightCore

I've got a Stage Combat choreography session coming up at the Triple Threat Academy on Sunday August 31st from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
We'll work with whatever skills and techniques you have, so come join us for some fun (and safe) simulated violence 👊🏼
Spaces are limited so don't wait too long to sign up!

I'll be starting a new round of Stage Combat training at the Triple Threat Academy in October. This is a great jumping-on point if you've always wanted to learn the basics of punching/getting punched, choking, slaps, hair pulls, and more!
Spaces are limited, so don't wait.

Contact [email protected] for more info or to register!

See you there! 👊🏼

If you’re looking to do some fight choreography, I’m hosting a couple of classes in March!
Techniques used will be adjusted to your skill level, but a rudimentary knowledge of stage combat/stunt fighting (could be trained by me or someone else) will be necessary to participate.
See you there! 👊🏼

Hey FightCore,

My very good friend Paul (one of the first people I ever did stunt fighting with!) is putting together a one-man show for this summer’s Fringe festival, and he’s looking for a fight partner to join him in the show (so I guess it’s more like a one-and-a-half-man show). I can personally vouch for his professionalism and skill, as I’ve worked with him on many shows in the past.

Here are some details, in his words: 

“I’m thinking one comedic, short (30-60 seconds) fight scene, one on one. I wanna work with more than one person, to have an understudy, (or two!), to not require a single performer to be available for 10 weekend evenings in a two week period. I’d be happy to pay an honorarium of sorts, but we’re talking like 10 or 20 bucks per show, and I wouldn’t be able to pay for rehearsal. This whole thing is happening on a shoestring. I’m looking for people who would basically be willing to do it for the fun of it. And it will be lots of fun. And I know what I’m doing. And I have colleagues, like my esteemed friend Shawn Baichoo, a veteran industry professional, Who would be likely happy to help out. I’m some capacity.”

So, if this sounds like something that interests you or someone you know, please feel free to get in touch with Paul or pass this information along. 
He can reached at 514-773-5683, or by e-mail at [email protected].

Hey everyone,
This looks like it could be a great opportunity for people interested in doing some live performance for Disney Euro. I'll be helping with the Black Widow and Black Panther auditions, but they are looking for all sorts of acrobats, gymnasts, fighters, etc, for several shows so I thought I'd pass it along (feel free to do the same).
Please read the requirements carefully, all submission info is on the website.

There are still a few places left for Stage Combat Level 2 (October 2nd and 16th), message me if you have any questions or would like to register. Thanks!

Hey FightCorers,

I’ll be teaching a 2-day Stunt Fighting Level 2* workshop on October 2nd and 16th.
We’ll cover defensive techniques (blocking, evading, ducking, and slipping), knife work, and choreography.
The workshop is 12 hours long, running from 10 AM to 5 PM both Sundays (with 1 hour for lunch), and will take place at my home in Mascouche (car pooling and metro pick-ups will be options if you don’t have access to a car).
The cost is $300.

If you’re interested or have any questions, please contact me by e-mail ([email protected]) as soon as possible so that you can secure a spot.
I’ll then follow up with more details and deposit/payment info.

Hope to see you there!
Cheers,
Shawn

*You’ll need to have taken my Intro/Level 1 class as a prerequisite, but I’ll also accept anyone with equivalent training.

Hey Fightcorers!
I still have a couple of spots left for this upcoming workshop, so if you're interested, don't wait! If you've been curious about the basics of Stunt Fighting, this is your chance as I likely won't be offering this again until next year.
Message me if you have any questions or want to sign up!

Greetings, FightCorers!
I'll be teaching two Introduction to Stunt Fighting workshops in August, so if anyone is interested or wants more information feel free to hit me up by e-mail or messenger.
And please feel free to share this flyer with anyone who might be interested by something like this.
Thanks and hope to see some of you there!

Hello Fightcorers!

It's been a while, I hope you're all doing well and staying safe. The pandemic sadly put an end to my workshops for nearly two years, but with summer being here and the restrictions around gatherings starting to loosen, I thought it might be a good time to gauge interest in new workshops.

I'm thinking of holding a week-end intensive (either over 1 or 2 week-ends) sometime in the near future, the nature of which would depend on who's interested. It could be an introductory course, or more advanced techniques (or straight choreography) if enough people with the right prerequisites are available.

So, if this sounds like something that would interest you, sound off here or send me a private message.
Hoping to hear from you soon!
Cheers,
Shawn

Hey everyone!

Just thought I'd touch base to get an idea if there's still any interest in stage combat. Between the pandemic and me moving out of town last month (I'm on the North shore now), teaching hasn't really been an option. But with summer on the way and hopefully a reduction in necessary COVID safety precautions soon, I'm considering taking it up again. So just chime in if you think that's something you'd like to continue and I'll gauge the response and maybe set something up accordingly. Stay safe and talk soon! 👊
