Typical Class Layout


Classes consist of a warm-up, approximately 10 minutes in duration, followed by a scenario explained, with the appropriate defensive technique demonstrated, then repeated slowly and thoroughly, with the principles and biomechanics explained fully, until the group understands the technique. The students are then paired up, or put into groups of 3, where they practice under supervision.

After around 10 minutes, another scenario and technique is covered. This is repeated, until between 3 and 6 techniques are covered.

Students are then ready for pressure testing - a chance to put what they have learned into practice.
After some padwork and some activities to get the heart pumping and adrenaline flowing (2-3 minutes), students are 'attacked' by their training partner (2-3 minutes).
Students then swap roles and repeat.

Depending on the intensity of the first pressure test, in some cases a second pressure test goes ahead.

Breathing and cool-down exercises are then performed at the end of the class.


Training to instructor level is available, provided you have at least 4 years experience in a martial art or striking system such as Boxing, Muay Thai or Kickboxing.

'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
