Instinctive Fighting System™
The Instinctive Fighting System™ teaches students a reality-based approach to the martial arts and self-defence using soft (mental) skills to avoid trouble. It also teaches a core syllabus of physical techniques (hard skills) whilst allowing them to choose their own reactions and applications against the attacks they’re most likely to face in real life.
Training consists of pad-work, fitness drills, force-on-force training, Grappling (stand up and on the ground), situational awareness, knife defence, weapons defence, and many other concepts and approaches that are too numerous to list here.
Grades range from Basic through to Instructor, with students facing no pressure to grade in order to learn the skills they need to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.
Practical Taekwondo™
Practical Taekwondo™ is the training concept and approach that Matthew Sylvester has developed to make his Taekwondo more applicable to the self-defence on the street, and is featured in Practical Taekwondo: Back to the Roots. Training covers practical applications derived from the Chang Hun Tul of Taekwondo and the Heian Kata of Karate. Our self-defence techniques and syllabus cover the following;
Joint Manipulation Techniques
Short Stick Techniques
Hand Striking Techniques
Vital Point Techniques
Basic Techniques
Takedown Techniques
Practical Self-Defence™
Practical Self-Defence™ is not a martial art per se. Practical Self-Defence™ is a system designed to enable students to learn how to keep themselves safe through the mental skills of Self-Protection and the physical skills of Self-Defence.
Training is centred around soft (mental) skills designed to allow students to keep themselves and their families safe, with some last resort techniques. These skills are taught the world over to Bodyguards, Door Supervisors and Police, but rarely to ‘normal’ people. Students learn more physical skills as they progress but will be able to live safer lives from their first lesson. Practical Self-Defence is ideal for Corporate clients and those that don’t want to study martial arts for years, as it ensures that they learn everything they need to about self-protection, without having to worry about whether they are in the correct stance, or if they’re doing a pattern correctly.
