"THE MAGNIFICENT PROTECTION OF ONE'S SELF USING ECLECTICISM"
DIVISIONS OF
ECLECTIC SELF PROTECTION
DIVISION 1

Eclectic Self Protection - Self Defence Systems is the first branch or our Association, allowing students and graduate coaches to delve deep into both Modern Oriental Mixed Martial Arts & Self Protection training at the highest level possible. The system allows students to train in all areas of Modern Mixed Martial Arts stemming from China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Philippines and India, focussing on modern & freestyle applications with a self defence mindset which is used in conjunction with The 5 Tenets Of Eclectic Self Protection, copyright and testimonial to our advanced coaching methods of eclecticism. Our system has a syllabus that gets progressively more difficult from White Belt to Black Belt and Beyond, allowing students to develop as a way of life, self-improvement, empowerment and enlightenment to 'Modern Asia and Modern Self Defence using Eclecticism'. The Eclectic Self Protection - Self Defence Systems training is 'Golden' with a Black Belt Coaching Development Program that is the best in the industry.
In addition, Eclectic Self Protection - Self Defence Systems acts as a certification, ratification and sanctioning body for other martial artists already ranked in other martial art styles wishing to upgrade their Degree / Dan Level, in any style of 'martial arts or self defence system', making it the go to style for anything and everything.
DIVISION 2

Eclectic Self Protection - Diploma Scheme is the second branch or our Association, allowing students to both join and qualify as a Ambassador Of Instructorship in specific areas of self defence, martial arts and fitness in the quickest time possible. Both learning and teaching specific areas of self defence, martial arts and fitness should be learnt in weeks, if not days, compared to a lifetime of training. However, although stating this, to be a 'Master Of Ambassador Instructorship' you need to have been both teaching and coaching for a significant amount of time. The Ambassador Instructorship Scheme allows our graduates to both teach, run general classes and courses, and build a business. It is a amazing bolt on to the actual 'Eclectic Self Protection - Self Defence Systems', which should be used in conjunction with The 5 Tenets Of Eclectic Self Protection, copyright and testimonial to our advanced coaching methods of eclecticism. The Ambassador Instructorship Scheme is also both open and ideal for personal trainers, fitness instructors, sports coaches, security professionals and other martial arts instructors who want to add to their repertoire, and qualify as a Instructor.
