Who We Are

Jared Kirby, a certified fight director, took 25 years of professional work and 100s of productions on stage and screen and founded New York Combat for Stage and Screen. He poured those years of experience and learned knowledge about combat, acting, and productions into creating an organization to provide that knowledge. Since then, NYCSS has grown into a full cadre of fight directors, certified instructors, and fight performers who are available to choreograph, teach, or perform.

Based in New York City,

NYCSS is flexible, accommodating, and creative in meeting your needs.

Options are available around your schedule, locations, and price point.
