Dark Roc Training — Est. 2023 · North Wales, UK
While we were on set. In Lagos. On Amazon blockbusters. Doubling for the world's biggest action films. We were doing exactly what we teach you to do. Dark Roc is back — and the standard is higher than ever.
Most trainers have industry experience.
We have industry careers.
Performers consistently give themselves away not by what they do under pressure but by what they forget before it starts. Grip, stance, muzzle awareness, movement — these are the details that pull an audience out of a scene the moment they go wrong.
Experienced eyes on set will see it immediately. A stunt coordinator, an armourer, a director who knows what real looks like — they will notice. The fundamentals are not the boring part of training. They are the entire point of training!
Every Dark Roc course is built around them. Whatever level you come in at, whatever course you attend — the fundamentals run through everything we do.
02 Active Practitioners
Ty is not a trainer who used to work in film. He is an active production supervisor and Section 5 Trusted Servant whose credits span major Netflix productions, Disney+ series and international feature films. Son of the Soil — a UK/Nigeria co-production he supervised on location, coordinated action and trained actors — received theatrical releases across Africa, the UK and the US, won multiple awards at AFRIFF 2025 and is now streaming on Netflix Africa. He has lectured action film production students on how firearms operate in real productions and brings a background in close protection operating in high-risk and tangible threat environments.

Body Double
Redd is one of a tiny number of women in the UK who holds Section 5 Trusted Servant status alongside active working stunt credentials. On Heads of State — the Amazon MGM blockbuster starring Idris Elba and John Cena released globally on Prime Video in July 2025 — Redd served as the second stunt double for Priyanka Chopra. She leads Dark Roc's Women in Action programme from a position no other instructor in this space can claim: she is doing this work right now at the highest level.

Every course is delivered by a minimum of 2 and up to 4 instructors for a maximum of 12 students. And every course is filmed by a professional Director of Photography — not a cameraman with a phone, not documented evidence that training happened, but a properly produced record of your performance under pressure. What you leave with is a showcase of your capabilities, shot in a genuine production environment, that demonstrates your skill set to casting directors, coordinators and producers. We are the only training company that does this as standard. Every course begins the same way: with the fundamentals.

Reel Action is built for actors who need to operate convincingly with firearms in scripted scenes. Where Urban Action focuses on tactical movement and pressure, this course focuses on performance within a filmed scene — how firearm handling, movement and performance choices interact with dialogue, blocking and camera placement.
Professional filming is integrated throughout to replicate the pace and pressure of working on set. The underlying principles of safety, professionalism and on-set realism are the same as all Dark Roc courses. The application is specific to the actor's world.
Dates for Reel Action are being confirmed now. Message us to register your interest and be first to know when bookings open.

Dark Roc created this standard. Every course format, every scenario design, every approach to integrating real production experience into performer training — we built it first. The evidence is in the credits. The standard is in our students.
There is no other course like this in the UK. Not because we've made it easier. Because we've made it real.
Redd isn't leading this programme because she's a woman. She's leading it because she is a Section 5 Trusted Servant and active working stunt performer who just came off Heads of State — one of the biggest Amazon action productions of 2025.
The same standard. No compromise. An instructor who got there.
