I'm Rob, 49, started karate (Shotokan 2nd Dan) 34 years ago but have drifted away from it over the last few years. I'm getting back into shape now doing loads of bodyweight training..hate going to gyms! I've been looking to find somewhere I can do some realistic self protection training but have had little luck. Most self defence courses are more likely to train you to get killed rather than save your butt.

I like what I've seen on the Urban Combatives site..it's exactly what I've been looking for...no BS!

I'll be coming here regularly, good stuff!!

Thanks for the welcome Peter, I live in Wolverhampton so if anyone knows of anywhere local to me..be mighty grateful if they could let me know! Thanks also for the offer of attending your seminar...working weekends at the moment!

Well impressed with what I've encountered here...there's much I can learn just by reading the posts!

Welcome mate
Looking forward to your posts
