F.A.S.T. aka The Bulletmen

Chaps just a reminder that I would still like to do this day training, but need 20 of you and it does cost £60 per head so not cheap but worthwhile.

Have a look at the info when you can and let me know, if we can get up to about 15 I can get more in from elsewhere.


F.A.S.T

In the modern world, there seem to be more and more reports of innocent people becoming the victim of unwanted attention, abuse, robbery, attack, road rage, rape or even murder.

The reality of these situations is always grim and ugly. There is little in normal life that prepares us for it. That’s where F.A.S.T. comes in. F.A.S.T stands for Fear Adrenaline Stress Training. It is a world renowned method for self-protection training.



F.A.S.T. courses offer training in skills such as
• awareness
• assertive behaviour
• avoidance
• target hardening (how to not look like a victim)
• situation control
• control of your personal space
• using your voice
• simple, effective defence techniques that work.

All training is done in an adrenaline environment so you learn not to freeze and panic when you need it. It will feel very real.

How you react to a situation can mean the difference between success and failure, life or death. The F.A.S.T courses will show you how your body reacts under severe, adrenaline fuelled encounters and then how to turn that reaction into a positive outcome. The defences are practiced full-on against our padded ‘Bulletmen’.


Don’t just take our word for it though.

“All of the members of the Royal Marine Police had nothing but praise for both the system and the instructors who displayed a professional approach which was aimed at a good level. From the feedback received, I can say that the afternoon was a resounding success.
D.H – Royal Marines Police Training

“The people you portray during your courses are scarily accurate. I see people like this every day in my job.”
N.C. – Gravesend Council

“I would recommend the F.A.S.T. Defence method to anyone working in the security industry or dealing with the public on a daily basis, and that includes a mother walking her baby. ”
T.R – Plymouth Pavilion Security Manager

“Just wanted to say how impressed I was with the course on Saturday. I found it a really supportive environment and I certainly learnt a lot! I am amazed at how you all make the scenarios so realistic and recognisable.”
Dr. K. A. - Malvern

SENI & KSAR & Saturday Morning Fight Club

Greetings Chaps

Just a reminder that SENI is coming up on the Bank holiday weekend.

I will be going on the Sunday by train so if anyone wants to go and want some company on the way up (will go from Wadhurst probably) then get in touch. see http://www.senishow.com/. McGill and Leo are doing a demonstration in the afternoon and we have a stand there which I will try and avoid manning!

For KSAR is have the following names- Me, Charlie, Chris, Lee, Steve, Juan so need two more to enter two teams- please let me know if you want to join in with this great event.

As mentioned the other week, now we have mats, I am thinking of doing a saturday morning fight club once a month where we will do less self defence type scenarios and more "full on" MMA Sparring to amateur conditions, Fight Drills, Reaction and Speed drill etc etc. Cost for this will be £10 per session and be say from 9-11. May also have some guest martial artists and still keen for the bullet men to come down.

For all the above please email me or respond to this blog with your comments.

Have a good weekend
