Chimera Advanced Defence

Today's lesson was brought to you by the concept of 'if what you try to do goes wrong, there might be some really nasty stuff you can find, that probably shouldn't be in the syllabus'!

The instructor team had a great time getting to train some Historical European Martial Arts with a local instructor.

Some great concepts that we can still learn from, and use in current systems. Even if we aren't allowed to a carry a sword around 😂

I was lucky enough to be interviewed by the amazing Olly Mann for his podcast The Modern Mann.
We discussed how important it is to learn to defend yourself, and how real world situations will never go how you expect them to.
Even with training things can go wrong, but at least you can learn to get back up and keep going.

A really amazing session tonight, looking at how to use an attacker's clothing against them, to defend yourself!

Coming in the next few weeks...

Sticks, bottles, Wing Chun, and games!

(And maybe a *small* amount of cardio stress testing ;) )

The website is back!

We're now on chimeraadvanceddefence.com

After having to rebuild almost the entire site, I've finally got it working!

(I'm much better at teaching people to hit things, than I am at IT!)

Chimera Advanced Defence This is the home page's excerpt

People think that they shouldn't start martial arts because they'll never be a Black Belt.

A Black Belt is just a White Belt who didn't give up.

You can be a White Belt just by starting.

Don't give up before you start.

If you start, you can be a Black Belt.

Apologies to anyone who has been to our website.
It has randomly had a couple of adverts inserted into the main page.
These were not added by us, but I have been unable to remove them.
We do not want them there, and we are receiving no income from them.
I'm hoping to resolve this issue ASAP.
