Interception Martial Arts

Paul is an excellent and patient instructor who ensures time is protected for you to develop at a comfortable pace. The environment is friendly and supportive. Pauls knowledge is vast and his passion for teaching has ensured his students are committed and gain in confidence within their abilities. A+.

I have been training with Paul for 3 months now and found him very friendly and informative.I feel fitter and confident I can protect myself now.Everything is explained in simple terms and Paul ensures we have a grasp of the new skills before adding to them.I would recommend Interception Martial Arts to anyone especially women as all the lads who train here don’t give you any leeway so push you as hard as they push each others.

I've been having individual lessons with Paul for six months. The lessons are the highlight of my week. Paul is an excellent teacher. He is obviously extremely knowledgeable, skilled and experienced in JKD and RAT. Paul is very patient and appears to put a lot of thought into how best to teach his skills and techniques, tailored for the individual student. On top of that he's a really nice bloke. We also have regular meet ups with other students to practice multiple assailant attacks. If you are interested in learning a martial art or self defense I would highly recommend Interception Martial Arts.

Great Filipino Kickboxing class that really gets the blood pumping! Paul is a great instructor, allowing you learn at your own pace regardless of other people’s ability in the class. If you want to get fit whilst having fun then I’d def recommend.

I have been training at IMA Hull for 3 months and have found Paul very informative and helpful when instructing me. The classes are small enough to ensure everyone gets attention. The kick Boxing class is fantastic and my fitness has improved the rapid assault tactics class is very hands on and I have received a few bruises. Overall I feel fitter and more confident in my ability to protect myself. Highly recommended.

Did my first RAT class last night . Paul and the students were very accommodating.Firstly I must I've done some boxing and Muay Thai not to any great level . The rat class is a totally different mindset so if you're thinking conventional and traditional ways of learning to defend yourself you're in for a shock . Intercept and hopefully end a violent situation very quickly .We did some very simple drills easy to follow but don't be put off by the simplicity of it they were very effective . Easy to follow and understand and like anything else practice and you should be competent to use if needed .Paul informed me this is just the tip of the iceberg and he covers a multitude of situations but maintaining the very foundations of basic drills so they become a natural response .Highly recommend the class even if you do more traditional martial arts I do think this will certainly add something to your repertoire of skillsSee you soon Paul

I have trained with Paul for a while now and can't recommend training here enough. Classes are well broken down to enable you to learn techniques. An emphasis is placed on learning practical defence that can apply in a variety of fight scenarios which I have found lacking at other places trained at over the years.

As a middle aged female, I wanted a new challenge that would help to keep my mind and body functioning. Conscious of my ever increasing age, I also wanted the ability to ensure my safety and that of my grandchildren.I didn’t want big groups and belts. I wanted training to deal with everyday dangers.I reached out to Paul, who reassured me that I wasn’t too old to learn.Today, I can move around danger confidently, swiftly, with ease. I have the skills to intercept and defend against a person and weapons, utilising objects in a manner that’s safe to me.Paul uses my life skills and knowledge, such as my skills as a dancer, to help me understand the principles of movement.He is patient and diligent, ensuring I’ve fully grasped a drill, movement or concept before moving on.It’s possibly the best workout I do all week and while I have so much to learn, I’m happy to say that I fancy my 5ft, middle aged chances over the best mugger out there!If you want 1:1, dedicated, ‘real life’ skills in protecting yourself, this is the place to be.

Paul’s great! He taught me the basics like defending against being punched and punching back, that only took a month, he gave me pointers the whole time and told me what i was doing wrong and how to fix it, he’s so nice, it was really hot out and i hadn’t eaten a lot that day and paul brought food and drinks out, i would 100% recommend doing this course, it’s a great life lesson!
