An Innovative Approach to Self Defence
The Skills

The Client

The fact that you are reading this and maybe looking at taking a Martial art / self defence course means "You matter."

Like every student, boxer or MMA practitioner I have taught, getting to know who I am teaching is a vital piece of the puzzle and is key to the success of the overall plan.

Height, Shape, Build, Physical fitness, Mentality - are all key aspects I take into account when building you a martial arts / self defence program.

The Scenario

That environment are you in?
What's the purpose of the system?

Is it fitness? Self defence? a mixture of both?

Are we allowed to strike?

Or would we prefer to use pam strikes?

Are you intending to compete?

Are you working abroad? do you intend to carry a self defence gadget?

When we know the intended arena, we can fully prepare.

The Plan

This is when we sit down and put pen to paper.

This part of the plan is a joint venture between yourself and me.

Combining your needs, your ability and my 27 years of martial arts, we tailor a program to suit you.

No Doing boring warm ups,

No Waiting for beginners to catch up,

No Nonsense Training.

The Techniques

These techniques are the basis of what will specifically work for you.

Combining -

Movement,

Flow,

Evasion,

Attack & Defence

Physical ability,

and more important - the psychological resilience to meet the demands if and when needed.

The Practice

This is where techniques are taught.

You will receive a syllabus card, where all of the techniques will be written down in easy to learn and remember format.

Every technique that is taught goes through what call "The Process".

"The Process" includes -

The Technique,
The Practice,
The Precision,
The Power,
The Summary

The Precision

Every technique is taught in a slow methodical manner to ensure safety to all.

We use a combination of equipment such as -

Boxing Pads,
Muay Thai Pads,
Kick Shields,
Heavy Punch Bag
and Wooden Dummy.

I believer accuracy is the basis of all techniques, "Power without accuracy is useless and without accuracy we are sure to fail."

The Power

When accuracy is achieved we then put Power through the technique.

This is when we incrementally turn up the power, once again in a safe manner.

Power is the summary of Speed + Strength.

The Summary

When the technique is achieved we combine two or more techniques together to achieve "fluidity in Movement."

"Fluidity in Movement" is when we can seamlessly combine two or more techniques whilst using effective footwork.

As I have said

"Power without accuracy is useless and without accuracy we are sure to fail."

We can add to this by saying

"Technique without movement becomes irrelevant."
