Partner Dance Workshop -- The Art of Following
Everyone wants to learn to lead. Nobody teaches you to follow brilliantly. Following is interpretation in real time -- you feel the lead's intention through your frame and translate it into movement, often in reverse, often in heels. We work on frame, connection, and musical sensitivity. Tip: The best follower makes every leader feel like a genius.
Three-Gun Tactical Training Workshop
Pistol, rifle, and shotgun -- safe handling, reload drills, transition drills, and shoot-on-the-move technique. I trained at Taran Tactical for John Wick and now I compete in 3-gun matches for fun. Safety is absolute. We start with fundamentals and build up. Tip: Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Spanish Colonial Cavalry Saber
Curved cavalry saber, standard issue for the Wars of Liberation. Light, fast, designed for the slashing attacks of llanero plainsmen cavalry. Paez and his llaneros could ride circles around Spanish regulars. The saber is their signature weapon.
Character Preparation Workshop -- Building From the Ground Up
For Malcolm X, I read every speech, visited every location, and fasted for three days. For Training Day, I rode with real narcotics officers. Preparation is the foundation. We build your character's backstory, physicality, and voice from scratch. Tip: Know ten times more about your character than the script reveals. The audience sees the iceberg tip, but they FEEL the mass beneath.
Character Empathy Workshop -- Becoming Someone You're Not
The hardest characters are the ones you disagree with. I teach you to find the humanity in ANYONE -- a cruel mother, a fascist collaborator, a bitter editor. We don't judge characters. We understand them. That understanding IS the performance. Tip: Ask 'Why does this person think they're right?' and you've found the character.
Revolutionary Leadership Intensive -- From Defeat to Victory
How to lead a revolution when the revolution keeps failing. Rebuilding after defeat, maintaining support during exile, coming back stronger. I lost everything multiple times and rebuilt each time. Tip: Your cause must be bigger than your ego. The revolution is not about you. The moment it becomes about you, you have already lost.
Nation-Building Workshop -- What Comes After the Revolution
Winning the war is the easy part. Building a nation from the wreckage is where most revolutions fail. Constitutions, governance, unifying factions that only agreed on the enemy. I freed five nations and watched them fracture. Tip: Plan for peace while you fight the war, or the peace will be worse than the war.
Shakespeare for Screen Actors -- Making the Bard Breathe
I directed and starred in Looking for Richard because Shakespeare terrified me -- and the only way past fear is through it. We work on verse-speaking, iambic pentameter as BREATH not math, and finding the modern man inside the Elizabethan language. Richard III is our text. Bring your courage.
Minimalist Film Directing Workshop -- Two Takes and Print
I direct fast and quiet. No yelling, no ego, no fiftieth take. We shoot a short scene with available light, two cameras, and maximum two takes per setup. Tip: Trust your actors. Hire good people and get out of their way. The director's job is to create an environment where the truth can happen.
Arabian Saif Sword (Curved, Early Islamic Period)
Early Islamic saif -- gently curved, 34-inch blade, ideal for mounted combat. Lighter than the European longsword, faster in the draw. I broke nine swords at Uhud in a single battle. A warrior needs a blade that matches his speed.
Crash Mats & Safety Pads (Full Stunt Kit)
Eight crash mats in various sizes, knee pads, elbow pads, and a body harness. This is the safety equipment my stunt team uses for medium-height falls and wall work. Tip: Never do a stunt for the first time on camera. Rehearse until the fear becomes respect.
Stunt Safety & Fall Training Workshop
Before you can do a stunt, you need to know how to fall. We cover breakfalls, rolls, wall hits, and stair tumbles on mats. I've broken nearly every bone in my body -- YOU don't have to. Safety isn't about being careful. It's about being PREPARED. We drill until the landing is automatic.
