In the early to mid nineties, the Society of British Fight Directors went through a transitional period, as its focus began to shift towards the teaching of Stage Combat.

The organisation set about creating its current reputation as the invigorating and driving force behind stage combat in the United Kingdom.

The BASSC is currently respected, both nationally and internationally, as a provider of professional level stage combat training.

His film credits include: Sherlock Holmes, Troy, The Dark Knight, Stardust, Ironclad, The Eagle, The Last Legion, Fallen & The Hammer of The Gods.

The exam requires actors to perform a dramatic scene containing a stage combat fight, choreographed and taught by a BASSC Certified Teacher.
