Action
When done correctly, fight choreography or "action" as it is called in the Japanese entertainment industry, is a high-speed partner dance requiring timing, distancing, speed, agility, and acting prowess all at the same time. While action training does not have the same level of emphasis on personal development that martial arts training does, it does give the student a lot of the same benefits while also offering some of the benefits of dance training.
Training largely consists of mastering Quiet Flame's Starter Packs; fight choreography training sets designed to prepare students for any manner of fight choreography that they may run across.
The martial arts content for each pack is drawn from everything from boxing, kickboxing, silat, judo, taekwondo even rare martial arts like the Casey Fighting Method.
After mastering the starter packs, students are invited to join in in filming Quiet Flame Fight Days, a way for both students and teachers to collaborate and practice skills both in front of, and behind the camera.
