• Understanding the fundamental differences between real combat sports and screen fighting choreography
• How physical posture directly influences emotional states for more authentic character development
• Using physical theatre embodiment techniques to create unique physical signatures for characters
• Balancing technical skills with character awareness in action scenes
• Adapting self-tape techniques specifically for action scenes
