SCENIC CITY SLAM

WILL BE BACK IN 2025!

CHECK OUT THIS YEAR’S HIGHLIGHT REEL!

Scenic City Slam is a regional stage combat workshop designed to introduce the art of stage combat to Chattanooga and its surrounding area. Recognizing the lack of stage combat training opportunities in Tennessee, our workshop aims to provide participants with the highest quality training available in the industry. In addition to stage combat, we will offer a wide range of classes covering stunt work, martial arts, and stage movement. We are dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming space where individuals from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives can come together. Through diverse representation, accessible training, and a commitment to mutual respect, we aim to celebrate the rich tapestry of talent within the stage combat community. Join us in uniting diverse voices, fostering inclusivity, and exploring the art of stage combat together. An important pillar of this workshop is that EVERYONE can perform stage combat.
