The only way to practice realistic self defence is against a resisting opponent, so you gain a first hand experience of not only what really happens when you do the techniques, but you get used to dealing with a certain amount of pressure, tension and aggression. Doing a thing against resistance is completely different than cooperative work.
Our FightLab Defence Concepts syllabus teaches an eclectic blend techniques, drawing from of Muay Thai, Southeast Asian Martial Arts & Ju-Jitsu. Our aim is to teach realistic self defence techniques that will enable a smaller person to fend of a larger person. We teach no sport applications, just realistic scenario training and controlled sparring with protective equipment.
The basic principles of our syllabus is threat neutralisation, simultaneous defensive and offensive manoeuvres, and aggression.
