Teaching primarily takes place in the majority of Drama Schools where actors train to achieve the first level of qualification in stage combat.  The BADC Standard (Level 1) qualification is regarded as the industry benchmark in stage combat proficiency. Training beyond Standard continues through a series of higher qualifications in a range of specialised weapon systems.
