Welcome to the NSFS

The Nordic Stage Fight Society (NSFS) is a non-profit organisation that offers training and certification skill tests within staged combat. Since it was founded in 1995, the NSFS has been working to promote safety and quality within stage fighting.

Staged combat, or stage fight, is the staging and execution of fight sequences for film, television and theatre. It includes both armed and unarmed fighting, and is based on real fighting techniques and styles, both historical and contemporary. Unlike the reflex-based actions of martial arts and sports fencing, stage fighting is based on choreography, cooperation and illusion. Every move is carefully planned and agreed on beforehand with an emphasis on the safety of the performer.

The NSFS is an umbrella organisation, currently housing four national organisations: Stage Fight Sweden, Stage Fight Danmark, Ofscen (Norway), and the Estonian Stage Fight Society. Members of these national organisations are automatically members of the NSFS. It is also possible to become a personal member of the NSFS without being a member of a national organisation.

Please note that the Nordic Stage Fight Society as an educational organisation is not the correct address for individual professional assignments. Instead we encourage you to contact our teachers directly. However, if you are looking for training in the art of stage fight, you have come to the right place.
