Stage combat is a specialized form of physical performance used in theater, film, and television to create the illusion of real combat or violence while ensuring the safety of the performers. It involves choreographed fight sequences, including punches, kicks, sword fights, and falls, which are practiced meticulously to look authentic but be entirely safe. Stage combat requires an understanding of timing, distance, and body control to make movements appear intense without causing harm. Performers are often trained by fight directors or combat experts to ensure proper techniques, and safety gear is used when necessary. It enhances storytelling by adding drama and tension to scenes, making it an essential element in many action-oriented productions.
