This one day workshop forms part of our 'Skills for CV' program.

Get practical experience, learn how to hit your marks and make the hits work for the camera.

Explore some of the more unusual hits and punches that effectively hide the gap for the camera.

Through a desire to break away from conventional "staged fights" and create more gritty and realistic action, Rc-Annie have developed their own techniques of closing the gap, hiding the safety distance and the tricks of the trade while remaining safe.
