De Longis been a professional Actor, Action Actor, Sword Master, Whip Master, Fight Coordinator, Weapons Expert and Teacher / Trainer in Film, Television, Stage and Opera for over 40 years creating and performing memorable roles and action in 13 countries on 5 continents. His experience with a broad range of European, Filipino and Japanese weapons and fighting styles gives him the unique ability to impart effective skills to actors and stunt performers quickly and effectively and create a ‘weapon of opportunity’ out of almost anything. De Longis specializes in helping Performers, Stunt Coordinators and Directors to create character driven story action and make the most of the project's action opportunities.

"Creating the energy and environment for your story action to be logical and effective improves martial sensitivity and combative awareness. Creating good action choreography gives you a relatively low stress opportunity to explore, control and refine distance, redirection and interception techniques at multiple ranges and adjust timing and execution accordingly. In other words story improves martial skills and martial skills, practice and experience improves story. It’s a useful symbiosis."
