About Hard Target Self Defence Systems

Hard Target Self Defence Systems was founded in 2006. My objective was and is to provide a system that can be thought to all ages, fitness levels both male & female. I devised the system from my many years of experience training in martial arts and combatives. My aim was to seek out what really works under pressure. As I say at the start of any class or seminar I teach " I will not teach any technique that I have not successfully used in a live conflict or completely pressure tested". The curriculum covers a wide range of self defence training. Here is a sample of what is covered on a regular basis -

Developing a Self Protection game plan.
Understanding the criminal's mind-set & M/O.
How to recognise the pre-cursors of an attack.
Developing a combative mind-set.
Understanding adrenaline reaction - Pre conflict, in conflict and post conflict.
How to strike with feet, knee's, elbow's, hands and head.
The use of improvised weapons.
Defence against edged weapons.
Defence against baton, bats etc.
Defence against firearms.
Ground fighting & grappling.
Third party protection.
Release from chokes, strangles and grabs.
Fitness training for combatives.
Self Defence & the law and much more.

We also invite some of the most respected names in the world to give seminars & workshops in self defence.
