Military Advisors

Thorough with good information breakdown and theory throughout. Vast array of weapons. In-depth critique on body posture, movement, handling techniques, positioning and ‘acting the part’. Very much geared towards what a Stunt performer would need on set, with constant safety awareness as the backbone. Use of BB’s rather than blanks is a very good way to first keep the costs down but also to practice over and over again, in a safe way, to create muscle memory and critique our movement and image. Great use of photos and very useful that all captured photos and videos are shared with the participants. Very good momentum and use of time. Exsilium clearly knew what was needed for being in front of camera.

Having completed both FaST Level 1 and 2, these courses are the most comprehensive, immersive and engaging firearms training available. Keeping safety paramount they are taught by instructors who bring decades of experience and knowledge together with current tactics, providing content to give you the skills the be the best on screen performer possible. All of this comes together in an amazing venue, making the whole experience unforgettable.

Highly recommend firearms training with Exilium! Highest level of instruction on firearms Safety, Movement & Drills. The course covers a great selection of weapons to get familiar with. This course, in my opinion, is a must for those performing in the stunt industry (especially if not from a military background). Working with this Elite team of Instructors and there fair, straight forward critic's and clear examples of do's/dont's for firearm safety, solo/team drills and Weak/Strong movement & posture for performance, has given me the confidence to be a confident performer on set with a firearm. The location is fantastic! Great couple of days, and I can't wait for the next one. It's the truth mate. Really great course you've put together. Every day spent with you and your team I've learnt and grown in confidence handling and moving with weapons. Looking forward to seeing the final product from all the filming out there to promote you and the other teams involved. Going to be epic!

After attending two Exsilium Firearms courses, I would strongly recommend these to anyone looking to pursue a career in stunts. The highly qualified team at Exsilium will provide the fundamentals of firearms training to the highest of standards, with health and safety throughout. The balance of theory and practical allowed drills to be understood and completed efficiently whilst simulating the requirements necessary for working on a set. The biggest take away was the understanding of all the skills, drills and movements to allow me to develop and practise in my own time. I look forward to completing more courses with Exsilium soon!
