Carroll Schumacher

A specialized acting course designed for performers who need to execute physical action sequences safely and convincingly on stage or screen. This comprehensive program teaches actors how to:

• Perform realistic combat techniques (slaps, punches, kicks, chokes, etc...) with precision and safety

• Handle prop weapons (guns, knives, swords, staff, etc...) with proper technique and confidence

• Execute blocking for action sequences with timing and accuracy

• Hit marks consistently while maintaining character during physical scenes

This is NOT a stunt training program, but rather a focused acting course that develops the essential skills needed for roles involving physical action elements. Students will learn the fundamentals of "action acting" - where physical movements become an extension of character development and storytelling.

Perfect for actors seeking to expand their versatility and marketability for roles requiring controlled physical performance.

Schu-Fu Martial Arts System is a highly pragmatic and accessible style of self-defense. Here's a breakdown of its key principles:

• Pragmatic and Realistic Approach: Schu-Fu is designed for practical, real-world self-defense. It's not just about flashy moves or physical conditioning; it's about what works when you need it most.

• Accessibility for All: A core tenet of Schu-Fu is that martial arts training is for everyone, regardless of their physical attributes. It specifically states that you don't need to be fast or limber, and that it's designed to be effective even when you are sick or injured.

• Leveraging an Opponent's Energy: The system focuses on the "science" of using an attacker's own energy, momentum, and balance against them. This removes the need for brute strength or physical size, making it a viable option for a wider range of practitioners. This focus on "controlling the balance points" is a central theme.

• Comprehensive and Blended System: Schu-Fu is a synthesis of the most effective elements from a diverse array of martial arts, including Kenpo, Kung-Fu, Karate, Chin Na, Tai Chi, Aiki JuJutsu, Escrima, Wrestling, and Boxing. This blend suggests a well-rounded curriculum that covers striking, grappling, joint locks, and weapons-based concepts.

• Situational Awareness and Proportional Response: The system emphasizes that not all self-defense situations are the same and teaches a variety of tactics based on the level of threat. This is a crucial and often overlooked aspect of martial arts training, promoting a proportional response to a threat rather than an automatic escalation to deadly force.

• Officially Recognized Lineage: The sanctioning of Schu-Fu as American Kung-Fu by the Chinese International Martial Arts Association in 1985 gives the system official recognition and a clear lineage within the martial arts community.
