Thank you to everyone who came up and build some more skills! And a huge thank you to the coaches who shared their knowledge with our community. There was a ton of great material and I saw so many people levelling up. I also owe a huge debt of gratitude to the amp/tdx homies who prepped everything the morning of the event while I was away being a lazy bum. Yall are the best!

Had fun doing battle with @alexdellaquila_ while doubling @michaelmaize on Task episode 1. And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those meddling kids. Thanks @j.riemer_director and @stephenizzi for putting us in and shaping this fight. Even the previzzes were epic. And thanks to @pepstunts @newmied00d @armstrongdavid @andi_norris for making it a great time while we were down there.

Thank you to all of the coaches, participants, and helpers who made another AMP skill builder successful. Fighting, filming, falling, Krav Maga, trampoline and Parkour were all thoroughly explored. Thank you all for bringing amazing energy!

Come on up and have some fun! Maybe even learn a thing or two! Registration link is in my bio. Feel free to message or text with any questions.

We take a quick break from voraciously levelling up our production value with each project to bring you something a little lighter and more fun. Matt showed up to train on his birthday, which can mean only one thing in a group full of idiots. BIRTHDAY PUNCHES Thanks @hen.risque_stunts for the idea.

I had the pleasure of teaching an incredible group of actors and stage combatants an intro to film fighting class through @neutralchaoscombat . We had one day of basics and one day to film vignettes that each group of three students created. The group I worked with wanted to create a C grade soap opera, with knives and found weapons. They spent two hours building and rehearsing the fight and two hours filming. This was the first time any of them fought on film and they crushed it! Performers @difatooo @rachelleighson @haelaaaaa Camera (iPhone 15 pro) and editing Me And huge thank you to the assistant instructors who came in and killed it as well!
