I like the spring floor of Sandbox&#8217;s it&#8217;s very springy (duh) but if you know how to do acrobatics and stuff like that, it&#8217;s a fun floor to bounce off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With my background of Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) <em>and<\/em> pro-wrestling, fighting for film is totally different! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had to reverse my usually steps which made me confused until I got it somewhat. Usually I really WOULD hit a person with my sword and the twirl while it looks dramatic in film and is so cool, it&#8217;s totally something I would not do in tournaments because it&#8217;s the best way to get stabbed quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And fight choreography is safe, but you have to &#8220;sell&#8221; it which means you have to do the acting too. Which seemed odd the first time for me because in fight choreo, it looks great in FILM but it&#8217;s all &#8220;air&#8221;. It is so, soooo different from when I get smacked or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did I enjoy the session? Yeah. The community there seems pretty neat and the instructor does have safety as an important thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check them out if you ever want to learn how to do stunts or fight choreography, more info on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandboxtrainingground.com\/\">their website<\/a> because they&#8217;ll have the &#8216;fight&#8217; of the season of teaching and you&#8217;ll be able to see what it is since they&#8217;re constantly trying to improve their syllabus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, their instagram, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sandboxtrainingground\/\">@sandboxtrainingground<\/a> is very updated so you can have a looksee too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was invited by a friend to go to one of the trial classes and that the theme currently they were teaching was &#8220;Gladiator&#8221;.
