"A very enjoyable, worthwhile, helpful, life saving experience."
Student, Oundle School, Student Safety Course, May 2009. "These self defence classes were an excellent introduction to the skills needed to feel confident about being attacked on the street & in one's own home. They served to reassure me that I have the ability to confront any attacker in an efficient and effective manner. We were taught that the adrenalin of fear is really adrenaline to confront an aggressor. As a woman I am not a mere "weakling" but someone who is ready to defend myself using the skills taught in these classes. John is an excellent teacher with the knowledge to inform about the most effective strategies to tackle an aggressor in any situation. I would recommend these classes to anyone who feels the need to learn how to protect oneself in any?confrontational situation." Dr Janet Philpott, Head of Careers, Royal Grammar School High Wycombe Ladies Self Defence Course 2007. The course was well run and was much appreciated by the girls. They learnt valuable information about attack avoidance, and then took part in a range of physical activities to enable them to escape physical attacks. All those who took part enjoyed the course a greaat deal and I will definitely book another course for next year's seniors. I thoroughly recommend that senior girls are given this type of training." Mrs L Kirk, Housemistress Wyatt House Oundle School, Student Safety Course 2007. "Highly informative, instructive and enjoyable. I feel more confident inside already." Mr D Thompson, Stress Inoculation Course, Southwell, October 2008. “Having had John do a number of seminars for me I can say that he is thorough, considered and pragmatic in his approach, detailed in his explanations and also extremely knowledgeable on legal aspects of Self Defence training. I would recommend him to anyone."Paul Mitchell, Chief Instructor Southwell Tae kwon Do Club, October 2009. I think this self defence training is a really good idea. There should be more of it, and you should make all the girls do it. Thank you for organizing it.” Parent, Oundle School, Student Safety Course 2007. "I became less worried about possibly hurting someone... I have really enjoyed it today and feel that if I was put into a situation I would hopefully be able to defend myself and get a few good shots in!" Mrs S Hough, Stress Inoculation Course, Southwell, October 2008 "Those who didn't come really missed out." Student, Oundle School, Student Safety Course 2007. |

"Absolutely brilliant. I now feel more confident for my gap year and going out in general. It's good to know that I (as a small girl) can fight off an attacker. Such fun - thank you!" Student, Oundle School, Student Safety Course, May 2009. “My daughter was attacked with her brother over the holiday, and when she was telling me about it she showed me all the things she did… Luckily she wasn’t hurt, and I think this training helped.” Parent, Oundle School, Student Safety Course 2007. "The scenario-based training is really useful for working through the emotions of an attack and having a plan should an attack occur. I found it empowering to practice getting myself out of very vulnerable situations. I can only hope such training will help keep me from panicking completely should an attack occur." Molly, Tae Kwon Do student, Stress Inoculation Course May 2008. "It was really good; I learnt loads and feel more confident now." Student, Oundle School, Student Safety Course 2007. "Made us more aware of situations, how your body reacts to situations when confronted (and provided) easy + quick self defence moves for beginners. We are both very grateful for all you've done for us." " Support staff, Royal Grammar School High Wycombe, Female Self Protection Course 2007. "Fantastic Day. Hope I don't forget these skills!" Mr J Burnett, Stress Inoculation Course, Southwell, October 2008 “The superb quality of the training, combined with the 'High Gear' suits created a level of realism un-matched by anything I’d ever done before. What John has done with DART is produced a system that is highly effective, regardless of previous training or ability. The whole seminar was a very worth-while experience and something that I would definitely like to do more of.” Ben, Tae Kwon Do student, Stress Inoculation Course May 2008. "I really enjoyed the physical stuff, it was great fun." Student, Oundle School, Student Safety Course 2007 |
