EMA Character in Action
Train for the camera. Perform with precision.
An 8-week action performance program for
actors, martial artists, and aspiring action performers.
More than
Fight Choreography
Follow an 8-week curriculum inspired by the cinematic styles of Jet Li and Donnie Yen. We focus on developing powerful, camera-ready movement through martial arts-based striking, choreography, and performance training. Students learn how to move with intention, precision, and presence for film and television action.
Learn to combine martial arts, choreography, physicality, and acting to create action that feels precise, dynamic, and believable on camera. Class sizes stay small, so coaching is individual and progression is consistent from week one to week eight.
