Edged/Blunt Weapons Awareness Training

Knife violence in Britain is far worse than official statistics suggest,with almost 14,000 people taken to hospital for injuries caused by knives and other sharp weapons last year. According to the latest Department of Health statistics, an average of 38 victims of knife wounds are admitted to accident and emergency departments across the UK everyday.

These programmes take a comprehensive look at various weapons and how they can be utilised or deployed against a person. Our training is done utilising both lecture and hands on. The participants will gain a better understanding of what harsh realities we face in our society when it comes to weapons and the intent to use them against another. The courses teach participants knife defence skills that have been tried and tested. The skills taught are fast gross motor skills, as opposed to fine motor skills which become extremely difficult in stressful situations such as a knife attack.

This is a very comprehensive course on disarming an attacker when negotiation has failed and your life is in serious danger! This is when survival is the only option. Upon completion of the course participants will have a comprehensive set of disarm skills for e.g, knives, screwdrivers, bottles, improvised sharp weapons, baseball bats, firearms, The skills can be used in confined spaces, open spaces, alone or with a friend or loved one, whether out for a walk or during an attempted robbery.

This program which is made up of operationally proven & combat proven tactics, the program is designed for responsible civilians, law enforcement, private security, and military. This course is run by Peter Ellis who has 38yrs experience, his unique and extensive background makes him one of the most complete and knowledgeable combat / martial artists on the planet, with thirty eight years of extensive, non stop, no nonsense training he is a true expert and has trained Law Enforcement and Special Forces both in the UK and Internationally.

We guarantee you won’t find any better the most comprehensive course of its kind!

a very brief insight into some of the techniques used during our urban and personal safety courses

Personal safety Awareness is about risk reduction, using good common sense and trusting your instincts & understanding the dangers around us while going about our daily lives, we have developed more Reality based training to our personal safety awareness & self protection courses.

Our aim is to provide participants with a comprehensive set of "Urban Awareness" skills, so that they are better prepared to avoid/evade conflict, the best self-protection is to always be aware of the people around us & our surrounding environment so we are not compromised in the first place, but in reality most of us know this is not always possible and we can be caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
