I’ve been training with David Oakley on a one-to-one personal training basis since early January 2011 and, in just 6-week, I have seen monumental changes in my confident, overall fitness and weight loss.

Not only have I gained the basic skills to defend myself in almost any situation, I generally feel so much fitter and stronger.

I’ve always thought that, in this day and age, if I needed to protect myself and my family, would I be able to. The answer is . . . maybe I would, maybe I wouldn’t, which simply isn’t good enough.

I understand that no form of martial arts or self-defence training will turn you into Superman or a Ninja Warrior but having the confidence that, if someone attempts to attack you or your family, you’d be able to protect yourself and them.

David has given me this confidence whilst making me aware of every eventuality, which has given me a greater understanding of what could happen in a conflict situation.

David has given me the ‘tools’ to defend myself, if push came to shove. However, I’ve been taught how to calm down a potential attacker by using the ‘fence’ whilst always on guard to defend myself and counter-attack. This is a skill that could take years to master – David has ensured I’ve honed this in a matter of weeks.

David’s teaching instruction is always extremely clear and demonstrates techniques perfectly, which is then put into a sparring real-life situation. This has enabled me to improve and develop my self-defence skills so much quicker.

The fees I pay are extremely competitive and the skills I’ve learned in such a short period of time could, one day, save my life.

I would highly recommend David for personal self-defence and martial arts training.
