“Victim tells of vicious attack” – Gloucestershire Gazette, Thursday 16th September 2014

We’ve had a number of calls from local residents looking for self-defence classes after reading about recent reports of violent attacks in both Dursley and Wotton-under-Edge. 

Whilst these things are thankfully very rare, we’d still like to do our bit for the local community and so we’re making our next adults personal safety course available FREE of charge.

The course will run on Mondays from 6th October

Mondays, 6:45-7:30pm for six weeks
Cam Everlands School, Birch Road, Cam

All teens/adults welcome. No previous experience required.
Intro level martial arts, kickboxing drills, bags & pads and some basic self defence.

Please spread the word and invite your friends!

MASS Training 1

Who do you want looking after your children’s character development, a full-time professional with specialist training in children’s development, or a plumber/salesman/office worker that does a bit of teaching part-time?

Remember we are talking about introducing an adult into your children’s  life that can potentially have a massive influence on their future.

Don‘t leave it to the amateurs – look for those instructors who are professional, and who offer a professional service, after all, we are talking about making an investment in your future.

In the image above you can see the level of training we undertake. Our chief instructor Master Olpin, along with 40 of the UK’s top instructors on a recent seminar. Committed to the highest professional standards in the martial arts.

A group of us from the Academy are doing this next year…

Described as “Probably the Toughest Event on the Planet”… Should be fun :-)
