The complete methodology for designing, directing and executing powerful action fight scenes — taught by Jean-Paul Ly, stuntman on Marvel films and actor in Jailbreak.
This is not a theory course. Every technique, every framework, every piece of advice comes from 13 years on the ground — on Marvel sets, indie productions, and action films that screened at international festivals.
I have spent 13 years watching action scenes fail — not because the choreography was bad, but because nobody understood why the fight was happening in the first place.
Action fight design is one of the most valuable and misunderstood crafts in filmmaking. You cannot find this methodology online. If you want to learn it, you hire a specialist at £200 an hour. Until now.
This course is everything I know, structured into a system anyone can follow — whether you have never thrown a punch in your life, or you are a director who wants to understand how to work with your stunt team.
15 modules. Roughly 3 hours of video. A complete system — from the philosophy of why action exists, to the practical tools you need to design, shoot and edit a fight scene that works.
★ Launch pricing is limited. The price will increase as the course grows.
13 years. Marvel films. International festivals. All of it — in one course, at one price, available to anyone in the world.
