Instructor
Richard has been teaching self-protection since 2003 and has taught at numerous venues in England and overseas, recently returning from teaching workshops in Poland. 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. 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. He 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 under Eddie Quinn.
Richard is a published author and his most recent publication is The 50 Principles of Self-Protection, currently available on amazon kindle with other formats coming soon.
Richard believes that learning never stops, and he constantly seeks to improve both his self-protection capabilities and his ability to teach others what he has learned.
