Instructor
Richard has been teaching self-protection since 2003. He combines a passion for realistic training and constant improvement with an enthusiasm for seeing people make great strides in their abilities.
Richard began training in traditional martial arts as a child and was always interested in finding the most realistic self defence techniques and classes. He progressed to more practical methods as he gained a greater understanding and experience of what real violence is like.
In the past he trained to basic instructor level with the self defence federation, was an instructor in John Ewer's Progressive Self-Defence system and taught regular classes alongside Mr Ewer. He is also an instructor in The Approach Self-Protection Method.
Richard believes that learning never stops, and he continues seeking to improve both his self-protection capabilities and his ability to teach others what he has learned, in the most effective ways possible.
