Student testimonials
 
 
What students have to say about South London Urban Krav Maga:
 
 


 
 
 
'A friendly class delivered by a welcoming and encouraging instructor that knows his Urban Krav Maga'

- Richard Wilson, Teacher




 
 
'I have been attending Darren's class for about 5 months now - I was really impressed by how practical and usable the system is from the first lesson. Darren is an excellent instructor and the time he spends explaining how and why a technique works makes it easier to learn. For me this is much more effective than the watch and repeat approach of other martial arts systems'
 
 
- Douglas Sampson, Management Consultant
 
 


 

'Easily the best thing I've done'

- Paul Duffy, Economics and Sociology Phd student at London University





 
'I love the way Urban Krav Maga incorporates the best of many great martial arts and puts all of them together.
The way Darren teaches us is with great patience and the way he helps us to learn the moves is second to none. I've had a few instructors but none have ever come close to his abilities of teaching and the great care he takes in his observation, in students getting it right. All I can add to this is well done mate and I know I can speak for the whole class'

- Francisco Montes, ex-powerlifter and former Wu Shu Kwan (Chinese Boxing) practitioner




 

'Urban Krav Maga is great, I have gained so much confidence from it, but I could not get all this without Darren who is a very good instructor'

- Zsolt Gonczy, Personal Trainer




 

'Having tried a few styles over the years, I can genuinely say that UKM is the only style I have found where I am confident that the techniques we learn in class would work in a real situation.
Darren is a friendly and approachable instructor, whose clear and easy to understand teaching style that blends the techniques with realism (and a bit of humour!) allows us to retain and perform UKM techniques very quickly, even under pressure.
Highly recommended!'

- Rob Evans, Construction Manager




 

'A truly amazing experience from beginning to end... Just one lesson has given me more confidence using the skills and techniques taught by our friendly and experienced instructor, Darren Selley.
It's so easy to learn that even my grandmother could do it!'

- Ali Hussain, IT Analyst and Entrepeneur
 




'If I could, I would do it every day for the rest of my life. It really does work - one day at school, a boy was picking on me - I did one of the moves I was taught and he backed off. He didn't bully me again'.

- Luke Medford, Student





 
'I've been attending Darren's classes for about 4 months now. The training is fantastic. I feel so much more confident.
It's also easier than I expected to get right into. There is no hanging around with form etc. - you just get stuck in at a very decent level and train with some great people.
The defence system is tailored to what you're likely to come up against in the UK, ie being robbed at a cash point.
I'm actually quite happy for someone to try and attack me with a baseball bat now!!'

- Deke Aaron






'I have had a number of private lessons which i've really enjoyed and found very useful. The system itself is easy to learn and has been developed to work in real life situations. My Instructor clearly explains the techniques and ensures I can execute each one before moving on to the next. He has a wealth of experience and enthusiasm which he brings to every session. If you want to learn how to defend yourself quickly and effectively in real life scenarios then Urban Krav Maga is the system to choose'

- Tony Munday






'The best thing I've done in a long while'

- Paul Lawrence






'Unlike other martial arts/self defence systems the Urban Krav Maga system focuses on a no-nonsense system to deal with a variety of real life scenarios and responses to enable the user to feel confident in most of the given situations that could arise in the modern world. 

The South London Urban Krav Maga course is run in a safe and professional format and as an instructor Darren Selley is professional, patient and knowledgeable in the system and able to ensure each student gets the very best from the lessons'

- Marc Sherman BSc (hons) MRICS, Associate Director, Chartered Surveyor






'Anyone who wants a confidence building system that works should try Urban Krav Maga. It's by far one of the best self protection systems/martial arts/combat arts I've tried and I've done a few'

- Andrew McBride






'South London Urban Krav Maga has giving me the tools and mind set needed for London life and my job. Training with Darren and the team has made a huge difference to my confidence and how I patrol'

-  PCSO






'Went to my first class today in Bromley; I can honestly say it was the best workout I've ever had and would defiantly recommend it if you want to get fit and learn a few life skills along the way!'

- Chirag Patel
