Thanks again for the course, still buzzing a bit, it was awesome! I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the course. I went in with an expectation what the course would be like and you completely blew it away. From day 1 I could see that the course was well thought out and delivered to a very high standard. I expected the course to be physical but hadn’t expected the course to be explain the theory and go into some areas that it did. I left with an understanding of the techniques, how to use them and the risks as well as well as a better understanding of myself and the mindset of others. Stephen was amazing and has a patient style, that makes the course and training suitable for all. He was great at explaining (sometimes very complicated) theories and techniques in a simple way that left you clear on the how, why and when of the situation, and while the course was challenging it never felt like the end goal was out of reach. There was never a question that was answered in a “that’s just the way we do it” manner, but you would get a full explanation of the reasoning into why that would only help to understand the technique further. You can see that the instructors love what they do and have a lifetime of knowledge, theory crafting and real world experience. I honestly can’t recommend the course enough!

Thank you for delivering such a fun and interesting SD instructor course. I felt there was a really good blend of theory and practice, as we were drilling a variety of techniques while learning how to teach them. I found the opportunities to practice teaching in a small group especially useful. I really enjoyed exploring the scope and variety of what KM has to offer, and I am looking forward to the KM instructor course.

Just finished the 5-Day Intensive course which really kick starts you into KM and is a great workout, different to your usual gym routine, too. The course is very efficient as mistakes are instantly detected and corrected and John is a great teacher.

I started a short while ago, but I have loved every class I have been to so far. The fitness is intense, but enjoyable. I have found the instructors to be very approachable and friendly guys who ensure that everyone receives correct and safe training… Well worth getting involved in!

All the instructors are well trained and always giving constructive and progressive feedback on your personal skill level.Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get fit and learn to feel confident in defending yourself in tricky situations.

This is just a FANTASTIC school. John Aldcroft is a first rate chief instructor and has a superb team working with him. They seem to cope with a whole range of ability levels and will develop your skills, fitness and confidence. The school’s flexible in terms of the amount of time you can commit to it. It’s also very friendly and great fun.

Not only I am learning a lot and I am still surprised when many times my muscle memory is better than my celebral one, but I also found an amazing environment when people can fight one another without being a danger.Thanks John for your amazing academy!

Great fun, quality people.Initially I felt pretty lost however after I started attending twice a week my understanding of the basics quickly grew.The instructors are informative, approachable & always willing to help, especially with the smaller technical aspects.

I have learned a lot in a relatively short period of time and feel so much more confident in my (albeit still learner) ability to defend myself. I could not recommend the British Academy of Krav Maga more highly.
