Writing

You wouldn’t write a scene with a person driving from the back seat of a car; however, errors this egregious are frequent in descriptions of physical conflict.  Come to the return of this popular panel intended to discuss the mechanics of actual fighting compared to what is often seen in fiction and screenplays.  Learn how fighters use people’s own reactions against them, why the Samurai who strikes first loses (Mythbusters got it wrong), and practical issues such as the different ways people lose consciousness and what that means for a fight scene.  This panel features hands-on demonstrations of techniques to highlight discussions, so it’s not to be missed!
