The street can be a dangerous place. On the street there are no rules and there will be no referee to step in when things are going horribly wrong! With violence, knife and gun crime on the increase-How would you cope if you were a victim of such an assault? Here at K.S.C.K.M we take the business of self defence very seriously and are passionate about teaching our students simple, yet practical and effective self defence skills. Forget all the complicated or fancy Hollywood style techniques-they simply won't work under stress in the real world! It is important to us that our students enjoy their training but also vital that they understand why they are training with us and take a serious approach to it. We like to format our lesson plans in a way that the training methods are fun and varied within a friendly and safe environment. We get a great amount of pleasure seeing our students learn new skills quickly that will keep them and their loved ones safe should the need ever arise by increasing their chances of survival through training and pressure testing. At K.S.C.K.M students can expect to train hard, have fun, make new friends and get fitter both mentally and physically and through regular training develop effective no nonsence self defence skills in a short space of time. Through training at K.S.C.K.M our students become "Harder Targets". Scroll through some of our testimonials below

"Now entering my 2nd month of private lessons with Tony, I can wholeheartedly say that i'm having an energising, enlightening and exciting time learning his techniques. Not only are these skills highly applicable in today's modern society, but they are very easy to learn. Tony's teaching methods ensure that you get the maximum benefit from all his techniques. Having trained in various martial arts from Kung-Fu to Mu Tai over the past 20 years, I can see that Tony's system can be used by anyone from any walk of life. The biggest reason being that it is applicable to all irrelevant of age, fitness or profession. Any of us at any time can find ourselves in an unexpected situation with our lives in danger. Tony's system gives us an array of easy to use tools that can be put into practice if ever the situation arises. As a member of HM Forces it is great to find a system that can be applied quickly and easily, and does not require a spiritual journey and a number of coloured belts to progress in. A key facet when studying, especially if you lead a hectic life and have limited spare time.

I find learning from and working with Tony a real thrill. My advice to anyone who is looking for something new and interesting; give it a go! The benefits from an activity of this nature are both physical and mental, and you will not be sorry."

Hi Steve and Tony, just a quick message to say thank you for the courtesies, hospitality and warmth extended to me by you and your students. Regarding the seminar itself, I'd like to share my impressions with you:

Your system and your students are exceptional. Your students are remarkable in their commitment, focus and work rate AND in the mutual support and camaraderie they exhibit.

Their repertoire of techniques and skills too is very impressive - as I told them during the seminar, in most other arts/systems, they would have to have been training for years before even glimpsing (let alone practising and functionalising) handgun disarms, knife, club and baseball bat defences. The fact that your students are utilising these techniques very effectively, highly efficiently and - most importantly - intuitively and truthfully, so soon in their training "careers" and in a school that is still relatively young is testament you your conduct, ethos and abilities as instructors.

You should both be really proud of what you have achieved. Your students support you, trust you and are inspired by you - and there's no greater honour than that!

Thanks for having me along to teach my system.

Love and respect,

Jeff Sawyer Renshi - 6th Dan Master Sawyer's Goshin-Ryu Ju-Jitsu

Tony & Steve,
I am having the time of my life. The club is good with some genuine nice characters. The martial training techniques are amazing & both of your teaching ability is second to none. To me now Mondays & Wednesday evening training is like a religion to me. Having lost my best friend last year at the premature age of 41 years I recognise the importance of physical fitness.
Tony & Steve, I love you guys.........NUFF RESPECT!

Tony, Steve and Lisa, and for that matter all the students at KSCKM, 5 months into training I can't tell you what a change I have experienced, my physical fitness has improved noticeably, my confidence and state of mind have changed immeasurably, to the point that my wife has mentioned she has not seen me this happy in a very long time.

I wanted to extend this note to the students of the class also, as everyone, without exception has been really easy to get on with, very patient and helpful when I get things wrong.

Finally Tony and Steve, the stuff you are teaching more recently has connected with most of us as really effective, and interesting. In the street environment and with the travel to dangerous places I sometimes have to do, it's very important stuff, and am looking forward to progressing in 2009.

A sincere thanks to you all.

I’ve been training at KSCKM for about 18 months now. Most of you who I train with twice a week will know by now I love it! When I first started I had never trained in any martial art, my motivation for joining was originally for the fitness. Others may agree cardio work in the gym can get a bit boring, so I thought I would look for something which would keep it interesting. I was hooked right from the first lesson! Although my original motivation may have been the fitness and still is important to me, it is the techniques and the teaching which have made a massive impression on me. The techniques are so effective and the way in which they are taught I can not speak highly enough. Since joining my fitness has improved greatly, my awareness has also been heightened and my confidence and focus increased. I look forward to learning more and improving further. Many thanks to Tony, Steve & Lisa for all your efforts, also thanks to all the students I train with – it is always a pleasure.

''I started training at KSCKM because I'd become bored and uninspired at the gym and wanted to do something that tested me physically and mentally. I've only been training for a few months but it's increased my fitness levels, helped me to fight the beer belly and made me feel more confident. The instructors couldn't be more helpful and they run a very well-organised club. I hope to learn lots of new techniques and get even fitter in 2009.''

"It has now been just over 1 year since i made a new years resolution. Said resolution was to Get Fitter, well get fit loose some weight my body was starting to resemble a crumbling ruin rather than a temple. I Have trained in the past at a variety of schools and i can honestly say i have never enjoyed myself so much, This is down to a number of reasons, The instructors teach the techniques in such a way that they are easy to understand easy to pick up and the thing I find the most important easy to remember. My fellow students make it a pleasure to train. I look forward to training and have made a point of never missing a class.

In short i have for the first time kept a new years resolution infact i am now extending it, I have lost weight my confidence and awareness has improved and i have made some good friends. I would like to extend a big thanks to Tony Steve and Lisa".
