Course/class subjects, themes and formats are extremely flexible.  Although there is a recommended minimum amount of training time for certain skills due to physical safety requirements, others can be compressed into introductory-level classes of only a few hours, or pursued in greater depth over a period of days or months.

Stage combat/physical theatre tuition and fight choreography

Tony’s stage combat classes run the gamut of themes from basic unarmed combat to a wide range of specialty styles and theatrical weapon systems. Classes can also be custom designed to suit particular needs and projects.

The Wolf System offers an excellent grounding in the skills of falling, dynamic partnered movement, weight sharing, balance, spontaneity and physical confidence.  Students have graduated from this training into physical theatre specialties including stage combat and stunt performance, stilt walking, physical comedy and many styles of dance.

As a fight director, Tony brings decades of diverse experience and a mature professionalism to the creative task of devising safe, dynamic, story-driven action sequences for all media.

Martial arts and Bartitsu

Because it addresses the art of tactical movement at its most fundamental levels, the Wolf System is highly adaptable and can be successfully integrated into virtually any martial arts program.

Tony is a world-renowned  authority on the martial arts of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, including Bartitsu, the “martial art of Sherlock Holmes”. These classes combine fisticuffs, jiujitsu, kicking and self defense with a walking stick into a recreational format with a historical twist.

No Harm, No Foul

NHNF is Tony’s unique method of non-aggressive self defense, designed for zero-tolerance and duty of care situations.

Lectures and consultancy

Tony has lectured for Tufts University, Toi Whakaari: the New Zealand Drama School, Oklahoma State University, Keyano College, the Hegeler Carus Foundation, the Hounds of the Baskerville and many other institutions.  His themes include Action Design: Fight Choreography as a Creative Art and Antagonistics: Victorian Self Defense and Physical Culture.

He is also available as a consultant for creative and research projects in all media.
