It is certainly not about winning a fight. It is all about avoiding, defusing or escaping a potentially violent confrontation.
We will not tell that its easy for anybody with a few weeks training to deal with a street assault. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing and we will certainly not instil a false sense of confidence in you.
We deal with reality and the reality is that your assailant may be bigger and stronger than you
and additionally may be armed or have accomplices.
The techniques we teach are simple but effective and designed to cause sufficient pain/discomfort to your attacker to enable your escape.
The emphasis however is always on avoiding the situation in the first place.
We have taken the most practical techniques from all the martial arts we have practiced and
compiled them into a system.
The system comprises techniques from SDF methods, Goshin Jutsu, Karate,Brazilian Ju Jitsu and Rapid Response. The system has been presented to and ratified by Mr Dave Turton (9th Dan) Head of ASMAA.
