The Academy of Theatrical Combat's Sword Masters have choreographed fights for such films as Hidalgo, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, La Femme Musketeer, Army of Darkness and Hook. The actors that have been trained by the Academy Sword Masters include Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany, Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Charlie Sheen and Bruce Campbell. Sword Masters Jan Bryant and Dan Speaker design fights for film from the ground up in order to create unique work for each project. They are specialists at not only training actors and stunt people to perform specific sequences, but also working with the director and designers to integrate those sequences so that they advance the story. To that end, they can work from the beginning stages of concept all the way to the final edit, or provide any of the stages in between—including historical research, style consultation, cast-specific training and weapon design.
