Our progressive model means that actors with FDC training are not only compelling performers, but have a solid grounding in good, safe technique. AFDC Instructors can be found across Canada and the Eastern United States. Drop-in classes, short format, and certification courses (both long format and intensives) are all available, depending on your location. All Fight Instructors and Fight Masters, as well as most FDC Fight Directors, are all qualified to teach any of our 12 disciplines.

FDC teachers are also on faculty or are sessional instructors at most post-secondary theatre training programs across Canada. In some cases, courses of study include Basic Actor/Combatant certification training and testing.
