Training Options

Stunts and stage combat are crafts, with many interwoven fields and no singular approach. So RAD offers different entry points, based on time commitments and intended performance medium, so you have more options for how you train.

Payment plans are available for all Skills Proficiency Courses and Class Packs upon request!

BIPOC Opportunity

We want more performers from marginalized communities to have these skills, so we offer a Pick-Your-Price option for Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC). This is a 20-50% discount, depending on the class and our capacity, and a strong encouragement to attend open gyms for free!

If this is you, reach out to us so we can get to know you and give you a discount code!
