How do you tame the violence, and what do I mean by that?


(There is nothing in this episode that contains, condones, or glorifies violence in anyway. This is about theatric combat, and the proper and safe way to reenact with realism)


I had the opportunity to talk to two leading experts in the field of stage and theatrical combat and violence. The following is a statement of Argent Combat's Mission Statement:


Their objectives are
1.) to uphold these values,
2.) to encourage safe techniques for performers and enthusiasts,
3.) to adapt styles of historical and modern forms of combat to dynamic theatrical performances,
4.) to provide artists with the tools they need to develop confidence in their autonomy,
and 5.) to expand Theatre’s influence by engendering new students and audiences who enjoy the expression of stories and emotions through theatrical violence.



In furtherance of these goals, Argent Combat routinely offers workshops and ongoing classes in a variety of disciplines all over Philadelphia, and members can be found attending Regional and National Workshops all over North America.
