Attention Actors, Stunt Performers & Content Creators!
Here’s The Insanely Simple Way To Get
1 Hand Movie Sword, Machete, Baton & Dual Wielding Fight Training For Film & TV To GROW Your Career To The Next Level
Been noticing that more and more Movies, TV shows and MOCAP projects feature actors / stunt performers that use 1 Hand Movie Sword, Machete, Baton & Dual Wielding choreography training (i.e. the Star Wars franchise, Marvel movies & TV shows, MANY Video Games, D.C. Comics movies, Viking movies, many Asian movies, etc.)?
Have you been passed over for roles because you don’t have 1 Hand Movie Sword, Machete, Baton & Dual Wielding fight choreography training?
Ever not even bother submitting for a role because they REQUIRE you to have had 1 Hand Movie Sword, Machete or Baton fight choreography training?
Would you like to add some 1 Hand Movie Sword, Machete & Baton fight choreography to your acting or stunt reel so you can submit for MORE roles?
Like to add some 1 Hand Movie Sword, Machete, Baton & Dual Wielding fight choreography to your movie, film, TV series, web series, content, etc..?
My stunt team C.B.T. Stunt Alliance has always trained in the traditional stunts (i.e. falls, fight scenes, martial arts weapons, tactical firearms training, vehicular stunts, etc.) yet we are KNOWN for 2 things:
1) Exotic Martial Arts Weapons for Film & TV – a variety of swords, spears, knives, clubs and other weapons from cultures around the world.
and
2) Elite Tactical Firearms for Film & TV
Most well organized stunt teams tend to specialize in 1 or 2 things. For us, it’s everything 1 and 2 handed sword & exotic weapons fighting, which is why we get hired to play roles for Roman Gladiators, Vikings, Samurai, Deadly warriors for video games, assassins, D.C. Comics’ characters, Marvel Comics’ characters, gangsters armed with swords, warriors in a post apocalyptic world, elite mercenaries, etc. and more.
Needless to say we’ve all enjoyed AMAZING careers and have had an absolute blast! This success came about because we literally trained in specifically 1 hand movie sword, Machete, Baton & exotic weapons fight training EVERY Sunday for hours per session for years. This ensured that we were always at the top of our game.
During this time, we’ve always had actors, stunt performers and content creators that find us in the search engines, social media or get referred to us to learn martial arts weapons choreography training so they can use it for specific projects or in general just so they can audition for roles that require tactical firearms training in various TV shows and movies. The problem was we were always too busy working to actually train all these people. We’d simply tell them we’d add them to the list (which was a VERY long one!) and notify them when we were teaching classes, which would rarely ever happen. Hey it’s what happens when you’re in demand!
SIDE NOTE – we did provide paid actor/ stunt performer training yet mainly for actors and stunt performers for projects that WE were hired for. This is one of the ways we got known in the industry and got so many referrals.
Then over a 6 month period, we were contacted by a bunch of people who followed us on Facebook, from across the US and even many from developing countries around the world, all wishing they could train with us and realize their dreams in this wonderful business. I knew they couldn’t afford to travel to Los Angeles, CA let alone pay for our class fees AND their training gear. Their dreams would go unfulfilled. And this REALLY affected me.
The breaking point came, when one woman literally contacted me EVERY month for 4 months straight to ask if we were teaching a sword class yet. I always gave her the same “add you to the list” answer yet she knew she really needed the training to grow her career. Plus there weren’t many other 1 Hand Movie Sword, Machete & Baton courses out there specifically for use with film & TV (there’s a WORLD of difference). Her annoying and undying persistence paid off! Lol! So we went ahead and scheduled some classes.
We limited the number of students because we didn’t want a huge deluge of students and as predicted the classes sold out quickly (though that meant many more were added to our ‘list’). Well everyone loved the classes! So much so that many asked if they could get VIDEOS of the training to use as a reference for later on. They didn’t want to forget the great lessons that they’d learned and the wealth of information that our instructors shared with them.
I realized that day that everything had changed for me. My stunt team and I could no longer simply chalk it up to being too busy to help other aspiring actors, stunt performers and content creators. We had to recreate our approach, our priorities, our thinking. It took me 6 months to put it all together.
Yet when I did…it all clicked! We got great results and feedback from a test group of students that loved the teaching strategy we’d innovated. They learned EXACTLY what they needed to know to grow their careers WHEN they needed it and more importantly were able to RETAIN what they’d learned for auditions, film & TV projects and their reels. All thanks to the unique teaching strategy & learning system we put together for them.
Here’s How This System Helped Our Students
Book Killer Roles And Made Them The ENVY
Of Their Friends
Take a look at just some of their results:
Jason H., stunt performer and actor, went on to book multiple dream roles. 1 as a Yakuza Boss (toting a Samurai sword) and another role as the LEAD Samurai in a world famous video game and live action trailer.
Actor and stunt performer Hiram C. booked roles as a sword wielding villain in a TV series, a machete wielding mercenary in a feature film, the LEAD role in a martial arts action web series, and a part in a Viking movie.
Actor and stunt performer Tavarus W. booked roles as a sword wielding mercenary in a gladiator movie as well as the LEAD in a world famous performers music video featuring him in a post apocalyptic world fighting off bad guys with swords and machetes. To date, close to 1M views!
Newbie to the stunt business, Anthony T., booked roles in a Michael Jai White film as a movie baton toting member of Michael’s Tactical Response Team (he got to work with his long time hero!) as well as a 1 hand sword wielding mercenary in a period piece TV show.
Aspiring action actor, Dan W., booked the lead in a martial arts action movie as a sword wielding, shotgun toting assassin; a Gladius toting gladiator in a TV series; a sword wielding Elite Mercenary; a sword wielding villain in a feature film as well as the sword wielding LEAD villain in a movie in a post apocalyptic world as well as a movie baton toting Law Enforcement Officer playing opposite famous actor Tom Berenger in a feature film.
Veteran actor and stunt performer Ryan M. booked roles as a sword wielding leading man in a feature film, a sword wielding warrior in an Assassin’s Creed video game and live action trailer, a 1 hand sword toting Roman Gladiator in a movie plus the team leader of a squad of movie baton toting Riot Police in a famous Ozzy Osbourne music video.
Aspiring action actor, Ken M., booked a role as the sword wielding LEAD in a movie in a post apocalyptic world.
And the list goes on and on!
It was this experience that made me realize something…Not all aspiring actors, stunt performers & content creators get the opportunity to get the precise 1 Hand Movie Sword, Machete & Baton Training, specifically designed for film & TV by industry experts, that they need to grow their career and make their own projects. And honestly that makes me feel sad.
So after this test run, I made a promise to myself: that I and my stunt team would do whatever we could to help out new people coming into the business…as well as veteran actors & stunt performers…learn 1 Hand Movie Sword, Machete & Baton training for film & TV and book as many roles as possible.
So I started breaking down and improving the “teaching strategy and learning system” I used to get breakthrough results for our test students to launch their acting and stunt careers and even grow them to the next level.
So after MANY requests, I officially launched CBT Stunt Alliance’s Online Action University – Stunt Classes and Stunt Training for Newbies & PROs

That 1 thing that can be their ‘Ace up their sleeve’, a true gamechanger and help them grow their career to the next level!

Look Inside this MasterCourse▼
But Wait!!! Can’t I Find A Sword Fighting Club Locally To Train At?
It depends on the area that you live in. In some areas they may have sword fighting clubs usually HEMA or SCA. In some parts of the US, and parts of the world, even African Martial Arts, C.B.T., Kendo, FMA and a few others. Yet these are COMBAT arts that teach you how to repeatedly stab, slash and kill people. If you want to learn that then yes go to a local combat sword fighting school.
Yet NOT for 'MOVIE Sword Fighting Training'. Understand this...Movie Sword Fighting for Film & TV is to movies…What Stunt Fighting is to movies…PERFORMANCE ART. It is learning how to deliver SAFE, believable, realistic, compelling sword fighting performances on camera with movie prop swords (i.e. the Star Wars Franchise, The Witcher, Game Of Thrones, Spartacus, The Villainess, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, etc.) not actually stabbing and hurting people with real swords like in combat sword training (which is fun by the way. We also teach this as well).
Combat sword training does NOT translate well to film & TV performances. Many of the techniques are too dangerous and would actually hurt or kill the other performers in the project. It’s designed for combat after all. Plus many of the techniques are not very cinematic and thus don’t look good on camera. And it can take months or years of practicing several times EVERY week to become proficient with it.
Movie sword fighting, on the other hand, is DESIGNED to look good on camera and to be able to be learned and used in a short period of time (this is how it works in film & TV). There are rules for SAFETY on set, guidelines & drills for practicing with your scene partners, rules for delivering sword strikes, performing for camera and more. While combat sword fighting is about killing or maiming your opponent as quickly as possible (within 1 - 3 moves), Movie Sword Fighting is about NOT stabbing or hitting your opponent yet SAFELY generating the ILLUSION that you are stabbing or killing them. It’s performance art that has it’s own rules, techniques and must be studied like any other artform.

Here's Why I Spent Over $20,000 Just So I Could Learn These Skills...
Throughout my own career as an expert martial artist, stunt coordinator and armorer for the film, TV & Entertainment industry, I knew that these types of sword & baton fighting skills would be in ever greater demand in movies and TV shows around the country and the world as the years went by.
And just so you know this sort of training isn’t cheap! Class prices for 1 hand movie sword fighting range anywhere from $75 to $200 per session each depending on what you’re learning and that doesn’t include airfare, hotel stay, meals etc.. that you also have to pay for the duration of the training. Plus there are NOT a lot of people who teach it in the first place! Add to that, they may not teach very often. So bottom line it’s very challenging to learn this highly specialized knowledge.
Also, you usually can’t record any video of the sword training so forgetting a lot of the training afterwards is VERY common.
So I invested well over $20,000 in my martial arts, movie sword and baton fighting Training, plus countless hours doing weekly training with my Elite Tactical Stunt Team...and I'm summing it all up for this MasterCourse that we designed to be a complete, permanent resource for you to use for the duration of your career. If your career lasts 20 years then you will continue to benefit from it 20 years from now.
Here’s Why This MasterCourse Would Normally Cost $2,500
There are no other online 1 Hand Movie Sword, machete & baton Fight Choreography Training courses for film & TV. Especially none taught by certified, licensed, permitted, professionally trained and experienced industry recognized Sword Masters, stunt coordinators and armorers for the film, TV & Entertainment industry (we’ve checked). Why? Because we charge anywhere from $100 to $350 per hour to privately train actors and stunt performers.
So if I were to take you into our training facility and train you myself, it would easily take several days of 2 -3 hours each to just cover the basics and make sure you understand them. At nearly $200/hour, it would turn into a pretty expensive day/week/month...like it usually does with private instruction.
Plus, if you had a BIG audition or role coming up and needed a refresher class, you’d have to either hope that we or someone else offered a class right then or pay for 1-on-1 instruction to prepare you for the role. Yet with our Online MasterCourse, you simply pull up our video lessons on your phone WHENEVER you need them WHEREVER you are in the world. 24 – 7 - 365.
And if you have questions, you can submit them in our private online social community or via Premium Email Support to get them answered. It’s all included!
One of the reasons we can offer the MasterCourse at this price is because we don't ship you anything. Because of this, I'm releasing ‘Martial Arts Training for Film and TV – 1 Handed Sword, Machete & Baton -MasterCourse’ including all of the videos PLUS any updates added each year PLUS the bonuses (found below) for INSTANT ACCESS. You’ll get it today at the lowest rate possible…
Normally $1,500 Today Just $125
* You get access to this one of a kind training for 12 consecutive months!

After reviewing the MasterCourse, if you don’t like what you see and it doesn’t work for you, I’ll refund every penny.

What Else Do You Need To Be Successful Using This MasterCourse To GROW Your Career?
As I was creating this course, I realized there were a few other things that you could use to make it easier to be successful using it. That’s why I created never before seen (or sold) bonuses and I’m going to throw them in completely FREE with your purchase today.
Bonus #1 - Access to our MONTHLY ‘Sharpen & Polish’ Video Conference Lab
This helps you to maintain your skills PERMANENTLY!
When we analyzed what most actors, stunt performers and content creators said they REALLY needed to help grow their career was one thing - ongoing training and support. Many spoke of times when they had a big audition coming up yet they were rusty with their skills and knew they wouldn’t be at their best. Worst yet they said that they couldn’t find any classes being offered by anyone who could help them.
Well we listened and this is our solution. Once each month, we hold our online ‘Sharpen & Polish’ Video Conference Lab where we have students from all over the world bring their questions and we answer them in real time. We also observe your performance and make any corrections or improvements to your technique and form as well. We even give you feedback on any choreography or scene work that you’re doing that involves using the training that you received. We help you literally sharpen and polish yourself for any roles or projects you have coming up.
Now you’re not in it alone. You have your very own 1 Hand Movie Sword, Machete & Baton Training for film & TV Coach with you throughout your career. Acting coaches charge $100 per hour or more for a similar service. Yet this ongoing training & support we include at no additional cost to help you more effectively get going & growing with your career.

Bonus #2 -
A ‘Safe Set - 1 Hand Movie Sword, Machete & Baton Safety Certification’ in Safe Prop Sword Handling training for Film & TV and a Professional ‘Certificate of Graduation’
This helps you to build the credibility that you need!
With productions asking actors & stunt performers to have had some type of sword safety and technical training to ensure safe practices on set, having formal professional training for film & TV by experienced Sword Masters & Armorers for the industry is HUGE. Plus having a professional certificate that lists what you were trained in is a BIG PLUS.
Now you simply hand in or email your certificate to production along with your submission. You can even upload it to your social media profiles, acting profiles and stunt performer profiles, etc.. (this is all covered in the marketing class of this MasterCourse).
To get the certification and professional certificate you do have to pass an Online Quiz and a Video Final Exam which is included in this course. Come on we’re not going to put our name on you without you being legitimate! We review and grade both the Online Quiz plus The Video Final Exam. Scores are ‘Pass’ or ‘Retest’. When you successfully pass the Online Quiz and Video Final Exam, not only will you know that you’re good, you will see your Video Final and have visual confirmation that you know what the hell you’re doing.
This bonus is included to help you more effectively grow your career. You don’t have to take the quiz or the test if you don’t want to. You only need to do it if you want to be certified and get the professional certification.

Bonus #3 - A Certification listing in our Private Online Directory of certified students
This makes it easier for productions to hire you!
There are some dishonest people in the film & TV business that lie about their achievements. Many productions know this. This is why they sometimes call previous productions, stunt coordinators, etc.. to do due diligence on an actor or stunt performer they’re about to cast. Well now you get a private link that you can email to production so they can go to our private online directory and verify all of your training and certifications that you hold with us (especially if you take any of our other courses as well).
Now there’s no playing phone tag, waiting for people to check their emails to verify your training. Production simply clicks on the link and sees your name listed in the directory along with what course(s) you took and are currently certified in. They can do this 24/7/365, no fuss no muss, easy peasy lemon squeezy and you’ve booked yet another role.
