We offer physical and non-physical self-defence and self-protection training as well as combatives in 1 2 1 formats, small groups and regular classes.
My son has had three lessons with Craig so far. The self defence skills Craig is teaching are vital and potentially life saving. Often with martial arts it can become confusing for children, with the variety and complexity of the actions involved. If they find themselves in a bad situation they need to act instinctively, decisively and without hesitation. Craig’s methods are simple, effective and quickly learnt. Every person should know how to protect themselves and those who are vulnerable. Especially with the rise in knife crime in the UK. Craig can give you the confidence and skills required to make this happen.
There are 100’s of Martial arts classes in and around Bournemouth who all claim to teach self defence. There are very few who actually have the credentials that Craig has. If anyone wants to learn more get in contact with him either with weekly classes or better still private sessions. He really is the ‘Real deal’
Craig is a fantastic teacher, helping people with different levels of ability, knowledge and confidence to come together in a friendly and welcoming environment to learn how to perceive/avoid danger and if necessary defend themselves. Put simply it’s a bit of exercise, bit of theory and most importantly real life contact/hands on self-defence training. Highly recommended to complete beginners and those familiar with other martial arts experience.
Ran a self defence and violence prevention class at my uni gym. Found it a really valuable class. Learnt a lot in the short space of time we had and Craig and the team were very open, encouraging and engaging. What I thought was really important was the verbal reassurance that it is ok to use reasonable and controlled force to protect oneself. Great class thanks guys 👏🏼
As a young woman who's attended a number of Craig's classes, I can confidently say that I've consistently felt comfortable, respected and welcome. There's never been a time that I've come away without having learnt valuable and informative insight regarding confrontational and violent behaviour; I'm always pleased to have attended. Craig's teaching style and lesson structure is excellent for anyone looking to identify areas requiring improvement, whether that be a physical or mental aspect of self protection. Thank you Craig
I've trained with Craig for a long time now and watched him develop into a very competent instructor who is all about using real world techniques. The classes will always push you and help you understand how to go beyond your comfort zone and deal with situations that we can now face. You will learn not only how to deal with situations, but most importantly how to identify, and hopefully de-escalate and get away. If all else fails you will have acquired a mind set and skills to strike and strike hard. It all comes with practice but with Craig's teaching you will be better equipped mentally and physically.
