Easter Closure

Dear All

As attendance always dries up a bit over Easter and the sun is shining I am taking the opportunity to have a wee break, so there will be no class on the Wednesday after Easter Monday, i.e. the 7th of April and also no class on the 21st of April - Usual classes in between time.

Have now got 9 gee mats for ground work and reckon I need about another 9 to get a good sized coverage so hopefully will keep an eye on Ebay and be ready for after Easter to have a padded floor.

Also have the possibility of doing a 1 day live firearms course if anyone is interested, if so let me know on Wednesday, see you all then.

Results from the Buses

Thanks to Chris, Steve, Juan, John & Dean for putting in a great display on the buses, well done guys, McGill is always impressed with the commitment and aggression you show in the training and in the pressure tests.

Will post some video of the day hopefully soon.

Had a good endorsement from the CEO of the Master Sken academy who turned up and loved it.


Just a quick note to say how Fui Mee, Lee Ann and I enjoyed your 'Fighting on Buses' workshop on Sunday. It was superbly practical and clearly proved why so many techniques that look good are of little value in real life close encounters of the wrong kind!

We look forward to attending more of these. Please convey our thanks also to your great team of instructors.
Very best regards.
Swee Lip Quek
CEO, Master Sken Academy

For those of you who don't know, Master Sken is an awesome Muay Thai fighter and teacher very well known in the business, see his website here:

See you all on Wednesday.

An endorsement for UKM

An endorsement for UKM from someone who knows!

"I work as a Bodyguard doing convoy protection and personal security detail in Iraq. I always train in Urban Krav Maga at Beyond Fighting. When I'm home on leave. Beyond Fighting's self-defence training is some of the most realistic I've experienced, perhaps even more so than in my current job or as a Special Reconnaissance soldier in the Army . I Would recommend Urban Krav Maga to anyone wanting incredible fitness and conditioning and the best self-defence training I've ever done"

Danny, Close Protection Operative-Hostile Environments.

Our core busines is training civilians and we don't make a big deal out of supposed military connections but this is a strong testament from an experienced guy serving in a tough environment.

Our aim is to equip the student as soon as possible to defend themselves against the most common attacks.

We strongly recommend that, if you can, you choose a Licensed Urban Krav Maga Instructor.

Urban Krav Maga is the only style of Krav Maga that:
(i) has been asked to provide a British Combat Association Masterclass;
(ii) has produced 2 highly acclaimed DVD sets in 2008/2009;
(iii) has been created - and continually updated - by a number of Martial Artists experienced across a range of disciplines;
(iv) has a syllabus based around defending the 10 most common attacks you are likely to face in the street;
(v) teaches a range of pre-emptive strikes and moves adapted to work for people against bigger/multiple opponents;
(vi) has Leo Negao, 4-time world Brazilian Jiu Jitsu champion as an Instructor; Leo is also our Advisor on groundwork and regularly trains the top Instructors.
(v) has been asked to run the Krav Maga stand at 2010’s Seni show, the biggest Martial arts exhibition in the UK

Snow.Bloody Snow

OK getting bored with this now and its costing me a fortune!

Just been out and couldn't get too far past the village and thats on the main road, back roads unless in 4X4 -forget it-, had about 2 inches this morning and its still snowing with bad ice out there (I nearly went into the back of a snow plough that had helpfully stopped in the middle of the road for no apparent reason).

I am happy to try and open up tonight if people want to , but appreciate for most of you it is quite a drive- once you get here I dont think you will be able to use the car park either!

So if anyone is intending to come tonight please email/call me and if we have enough I will open up. Please don't text as I am at home and there is no signal so I will not receive though the mobile will divert to me.

Speak soon, Keep training, maybe see you!!!
