This post is a bit late, as I have been super busy/out of service. One week ago, I flew back to my home among the hills, West Virginia. I completed the fourth and final week at the International Stunt School in Seattle, which was made up of various aerial stunts, including high falls, air ram, bungee, ratchet, wire, and interestingly enough, some circus stunts (aerial silks and hoop). To be honest, the week was a blur. I was so excited to work with a smaller group on wire, which (combat aside) has become my forte. Some of the bigger dudes in my class had way too much fun lifting my tiny frame in the air, as I got pretty close to the ceiling more than once! I don’t really have too much to say about the training this time, because my focus has shifted way forward – where am I to take all of the knowledge and skill I’ve acquired in the past month? My impulse is to head to the theme parks – Six Flags, Universal, Disney – and audition for some live stunt shows. I’ve been taking a pretty close look at Marvel Universe Live as well, which is auditioning in October. I will always have a passion for fight choreography, and in the coming weeks, I hope to put together two more short fights for YouTube. However, before I take off on another stunt adventure, my first objective is to continue to train – nail down a good workout regimen, get some more gymnastics training, and work on my falls. I want to again extend my endless thanks to my instructors – Jeff McKracken, Greg Poljacik, Wadi Jones, Chuck Johnson, Brandon Belieu, Amy Sturdivant, Dutch Stenehjem, Charly and John from Cabiri, and David Boushey – for giving me an incredible month of priceless experience and instruction. I'm so proud to have been able to work with them. Hope to see you all on the silver screen!
