“I am so glad I took these classes as if I hadn’t, I hate to think what the outcome could have been.”

Fantastic training by a professional who knows how to connect with and inspire the young people he works with. Highly recommended!

My mom insisted I take a block of private self defence classes with Alex before I started University in Paris. I was reluctant at first but actually really enjoyed the training, particularly how Alex mixed in psychology and situational awareness skills along with pure violence like gouging eyes and knees to the groin.

Fast forward a few months and I was actually attacked late at night while walking home, a man grabbed me and tried to drag me into a doorway, luckily this was a situation we had drilled over and over, it was quite surreal as I went into autopilot striking the attacker in the nose with my elbow and immediately running away while he was on the floor. I am so glad I took these classes as if I hadn’t, I hate to think what the outcome could have been.

I took a 5 hour self defence workshop with Alex a few years ago which i found very useful and informative. Later that year while out socialising (alcohol involved) I was assaulted by two men who tried to drag me into an alley.

It’s hard to recall what happened as my adrenaline was running high but a friend who witnessed told me I struck one of them between the eyes with an elbow and followed up with repeated knees to the groin, just how Alex had taught me. The second attacker fled at high speed while the other was left whimpering and bloodied on the floor.

I can’t recommend this training enough.
