“I've attended so many acting classes and I've noticed the majority of them are very similar.  For me Mark Grove’s workshop stood out from the others and was an enormous treat.  This workshop taught me so many different tools that will help me make solid choices in any given scene and/or interacting with other actor.  The earth, water, fire, wind, and celestial elements touched my soul deeply.  With most acting methods taught today, actors lose sight of the true intention, but with this method it reaches in your soul and pulls it out of you.   I am truly blessed that I was able to receive this knowledge”.  

“Mark Grove is a great director, a superlative martial artist, a very creative choreographer of movie fights, and well versed in the entire process of filmmaking. In this day and age of extreme specialists, it is nice to work with someone who not only can wear so many hats, but wear them so well! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to study stunt work and action filmmaking.”

“Life is ever changing and so is Mark Grove. He has the ability to explain the same fighting technique to 10 different people in a way each one of them can understand it and apply it. His adaptability in teaching keeps you on your toes and the landscape of learning continues to flow and ultimately teaches you to adapt to anything that comes your way. Along that way you learn a multitude of things that you might never have thought you’d be doing. His lessons are always unique and they always leave you wanting more."

Great fun… but still getting the job done with alacrity and professionalism.”

“While training under Mark Grove I have had the honor of learning the many skills of the Samurai and Ninja. He doesn't just teach in a textbook fashion, he regularly alters his teaching methods so students are forced to adapt as they learn. This ensures that students do not get comfortable in a static process. The skills remain the same, but how each student receives the information is often unique. The moment you think you know how a technique is done, he will show you three more variations. No matter the level of skill the student possesses, Mark Grove has the ability to make them feel like their training has just begun”. 

"I have learned almost everything I know about the film industry from Mark. His vision for writing/directing/coordinating is inspiring and shows true love for his craft. But, not only is he an impressive filmmaker, his extensive knowledge of martial arts is awe-inspiring. He has taught me many things about the ways of the Ninja, but I know there is still so much more to learn. I am grateful to know such an amazing and talented man."
