Client Testimonials

Dave K has recently delivered a 6 week self-defence course to a group of my sixth form students. The girls thoroughly enjoyed it and have found it really useful. Dave was professional at all times. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about self-
defence and was able to answer the girls’ questions with
confidence. His instruction was clear with demonstrations and then time for the students to practice the techniques with advice from Dave who was on-hand. I would recommend him to anyone considering self-defence and would not hesitate to use him in school again.

Mrs S Waite

Head Of PE, ALDERLEY EDGE GIRLS SCHOOL

We hired Dave to develop a 2 day Krav Maga for the whole family. I have trained in Judo, Taekwon Do, Tang Soo Do and Wing Chun and I must say that from a self-defence perspective Krav Maga tops them all. Dave has a very good teaching style and gets you very proficient in a short space of time. Highly recommended!

Fabrizio Poli

CEO, Orville Aviation Group

“Only been training for a few weeks now, have improved self defence and striking techniques dramatically, taking into consideration of having had no previous martial arts or combat experience”.
