Welcome to the first 2-day Reaction Lab Film Fighting Workshop in Toronto! It’s an honor to have the opportunity to work alongside all of you and help strengthen the film fighting community here.
Over the past several months, I’ve had the privilege of working in Toronto and have come to truly appreciate the talent, energy, and dedication of its performers. The inspiration for this workshop came directly from those experiences, from the people I’ve trained with, collaborated with, and learned from. I’m grateful to The Monkey Vault for opening their doors to us; it’s an incredible facility, and I hope you’re all taking full advantage of what it offers.
I also want to extend deep thanks to our sponsors, Bunal Brand and Legend Water, whose missions align closely with the values of our community:
- Bunal Brand (also known as Bunal) is a grassroots company founded to improve training in Filipino martial arts. Their specialty is developing high quality training implements, padded sticks, padded blades, and other gear, handcrafted in the U.S. using locally sourced materials. BUNALBRAND.COM
- Legend Water sources water from mountain-fed springs in Alberta, Canada, offering naturally alkaline water (around pH 8) sealed in aluminum cans. Their packaging is designed to be sustainable, 97% recycled aluminum, and their mission includes contributing to mental health and community initiatives under their 'Legend Supporting Legends' program. Legend Water+1
Theirs, and all your support helps fuel what we’re building with The Reaction Lab, and I’m grateful to have them in our corner. We are only just starting to take The Lab where we would love to see it.
Below, you’ll find all the key details for the workshop, location, schedule, what to bring, and more.
Looking forward to an inspiring weekend of movement, collaboration, and creativity.... mixed with sweat, exhaustion.... all while hitting new levels.
