On Sunday 30th May 2010 Mr Mark Davies came to Stratford upon Avon from Abroath (Scotland) to conduct two four hour seminars on Tactical Edge Self Defence.

 

The courses, which were spread across 2 days were attended by approximately 40 willing and eager students. No body really knew what to expect as the wording of the course was somewhat ambiguous yet intriguing….Questions were asked as to - What exactly is ‘Tactical Edge Self Defence’? - is this similar to Taekwon-do? – Is this another element of Taekwon-do? – will I enjoy it? – Will I benefit from it?

On both days the students entered with 'trepidation' and a fear of the unknown. But once the courses got underway a fabulous time was had by all.

The four hour course was split into two parts - the first 3 hours were focussed on unarmed close quarter combat and the last hour devoted to defences against knife attacks. The atmosphere was relaxed and despite the seriousness of the topics covered it was clear to see that all of the participants were thoroughly enjoying themselves. It was obvious from the smiles around the room that the students were delighted to have an opportunity to ‘get stuck in’ and try some of the new techniques on some of their colleagues.

 

Well done to all who attended from SLTKD – I am sure that you will agree that this seminar was great fun and I expect there will be a big demand the next time Mr Davies comes to town.

 

A huge thanks to the very talented and clearly very dangerous, Mr Mark Davies and we all look forward to seeing him again in the not too distant future.  Watch this space for more details on when the next Tactical Edge Self Defence course will be held.
