Master Renzo Musumeci Greco trains actors/actresses, body doubles and extras in order to make them learn swordsmanship as it was an extension of their body, so they can perfectly master every scene with bladed weapons.

To coordinate dozens of fencers is not easy, especially if they are extras who can't fence at all. The Musumeci Greco Academy offers able-bodied and Paralympic fencers (including some World Champions) who can make dynamic and lively every scene which is set in a hall of arms or a gym.

Because it's an antique and meticulous discipline, with a costantly evolving history, we consider Stage Fencing, and everything that's connected to it, an universe which cannot be faced with superficiality and lack of preparation. Therefore, we believe is essential that we don't confine ourselves to the mere providing of equipment, supplies and setting, but rather we prefer to actively cooperate in the projects that are submitted to us.
