Andes Mountain Crossing Expedition Training
High-altitude mountain warfare. Acclimatization, cold weather movement, river fording, maintaining combat effectiveness at altitude. I crossed a 13,000-foot pass in the wet season. A third of my army died. The rest won independence for a continent. Tip: The mountain does not care about your cause. Respect it or it kills you.
Screenplay by Syd Field (Annotated Copy)
My personal annotated copy of Screenplay -- the book that's been called the bible of screenwriting. Margin notes from 30 years of teaching. Dog-eared pages. Coffee stains from late nights at Musso & Frank. Read it, return it, write your script.
Script Coverage & Notes -- Professional Feedback
Send me your screenplay (120 pages max). I'll read it, write detailed notes on structure, character, and dialogue, and return a 3-page coverage report. I've read over 2,000 screenplays for Cinemobile Systems and another 2,000 for the Royal Swedish Film Institute. I know what works.
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.
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.
Mounted Combat Training -- Fight From the Horse
Bareback mounted combat with lance, bow, and war club. The Lakota fought from horseback as naturally as walking. Hanging off the side of the horse as a shield, shooting under the neck, the full-speed charge. Tip: Your war paint is your identity. I painted a lightning bolt on my face and hail spots on my body. The enemy should know who is coming for them.
The Paradigm Workshop -- 3-Act Structure Masterclass
The workshop that changed screenwriting worldwide. In four hours, I break down the three-act structure using your favorite films. You'll never watch a movie the same way again. Bring a film you love and I'll show you its skeleton. Tip: The first ten pages are everything -- that's where the reader decides to keep going or toss your script.
Film Fight Choreography Session
Learn to design fight scenes for camera. Real combat is ugly. Screen combat is poetry. I'll show you camera angles, timing, and how to sell a punch that misses by six inches. Every fight tells a story -- what's yours?
Chinese Dao Sword (Northern Wei Style)
Single-edged dao, 32-inch blade, ring pommel. The standard infantry sword of the Northern Wei period. Optimized for cutting from horseback -- the slight curve pulls the blade through the target. I carried one for twelve years and it never failed me.
Philosophy of Martial Arts Workshop -- Small Group
Small group session (max 6). We discuss Tao Te Ching, Krishnamurti, and the connection between combat and self-knowledge. Tip: Knowing is not enough, you must apply. Willing is not enough, you must do. Bring a notebook.
Nunchaku Set (Training Foam + Competition Wood)
Foam pair for learning, hardwood pair for performance. I made these famous but they're actually an Okinawan farming tool. Start with the foam. Trust me.
Chinese Dao Sword & Crossbow Training
The dao -- single-edged, slightly curved, the workhorse of the Chinese military for a thousand years. Combined with crossbow marksmanship for both mounted and foot combat. I used these for twelve years in the field. Tip: Consistency beats brilliance. Practice the same cut ten thousand times until it is perfect, then practice it ten thousand more.
