AF Self Defence

Adam taught a class to a group of us and was great. Good communication and very easy to arrange. He was very sensitive to what people were comfortable with and also a good sport letting various women throw him about! I'd really recommend and we'll definitely be doing another class with him.

Adam is a brilliant teacher and a genuinely great person to be around. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, sensitive to different comfort levels and peppers his lessons with useful tips and interesting anecdotes. As a very short girl who has noodles for arms and dislikes training with large groups of people — training 1:1 with Adam has been the perfect way to learn how to use what I already have to protect myself in any situation.Adam’s techniques are practical, easy to learn and hard to forget. Best of all, they’re realistic. None of that kung fu flailing that you’ll likely never remember when you need it. He covers everything from how to subtly get out of a guy’s grip at a club to how to escape a kidnapping. Stuff that we sadly need to keep in mind and should definitely have in our arsenal.Bottom line: Adam has my highest recommendation for nervous beginners hoping to get started in self defence, as well as experienced students looking to expand their skill set. Can’t go wrong.

Adam is a great trainer and has a passion for teaching others. Having had no previous experience, Adam started by teaching me very simple and basic break-away techniques that are useful for everyone to know.His friendly attitude makes you feel very comfortable and even wanting to step out of your comfort zone to learn something new every time. The sessions are a combination of self defence techniques, sparring and applying what you've learned.The most important part for me has been his patience and willingness to repeat the same thing as many times as it takes for me to perfect it and be able to apply it under pressure. At the end of the day these lessons not only make you feel more secure, but also that you achieve something.
