battle choreography
Staged fight design
Battle choreography is the design and coordination of staged combat for film, television, theater, or other performance.
A battle choreographer plans every movement—sword swings, punches, falls—so fights look convincing while keeping performers safe.
The term distinguishes planned theatrical violence from actual combat or improvised action: The battle choreography in that film took months to rehearse.
