After a brief chat and catch up with the crew we kicked straight off into the session with a low to moderate warm up and static stretch sequence. ESP Coach structured the session slightly different to the usual coporate classes in accordance with what the students wanted to learn. ESP Coach took the students through the most efficient and best choke namely the Rear Naked Choke (RNC).
An analysis of Self defence and the UK law was explained with relevance to 1) the perceived level of threat, 2) the appropriate and necessary response, and 3) a justifiable use of force. We also covered the criminal law act.
A client from Muswell Hill contacted me via my website and booked in for 2 private 90 minute sessions. They wanted the sessions designed for practical martial arts and self defence, and for key personal security skills relevant to travelling as they were a regular traveller abroad.
Eclectic Self Protection (ESP) was hired to conduct a 12 week self defence training program for 3 students who were progressively working through their bronze, silver and gold awards. We had Taya, Honey & Elise all from a local school attend our training program which accelerated their self development and physical skill set.
After a 10 minute initial consultation they had no injuries or conditions and were currently fit and healthy and wanted the session totally focussed on self defence. Client 1 mentioned to me he use to train in ITF Taekwondo for a few years whilst at university and found it too demanding and was not very focussed on societies dangers, and wanted a package of natural and simple self defence techniques. Client 2 was a beginner and wanted a boost in confidence, self assurance, personal protection and general fitness.
The May 4 Week Self Defence Course was held by the Eclectic Self Protection Association (ESPA) on the 4 tuesdays of May 2019 at Hornsey Town Hall in Crouch End. As with all of our ESP courses a national martketing campaign was released and we had a very good turnout.
Self-defence is a countermeasure that involves defending the health and well-being of oneself from harm. The use of the right of self-defense as a legal justification for the use of force in times of danger is available in many jurisdictions.

Physical self-defense is the use of physical force to counter an immediate threat of violence.

The January Crouch End 4 Week Self Defence Course was held at Hornsey Town Hall in Crouch End on the 4 Tuesdays Of January 2017 (9th, 16th, 23rd & 30th) from 7.30 to 9pm. The course was marketed 3 months in advance and had a turnout of 12 attendies (9 ladies and 3 gents). As everyone was aged 16 plus it meant we could cover more weapon personal defence techniques and pressure testing. For this particualr course we were in the matted medium size studio which also meant we could drill ground work. As with all sessions and courses a pre-health check and decleration was done.
