Bromley Self Defence Testimonials

 

“We booked my external employees on a Bromley Self Defence course, due to the nature of their jobs and my duty of care to them as a Director of the company. Their roles bring them into contact with aggressive and violent people every day, therefore I wanted a course that would give my employees a common sense insight on how to defend themselves and also conflict management.

We choose the perfect course, the trainers were friendly and used practical applications to get the best out of my employees, everybody joined in and after the course everybody was saying how well it went and how useful it would be not only in their working environment but also in everyday life.

I would like to thank the BSD team for a worthwhile course and a very enjoyable morning.”

“Harris Academy Bromley worked with Bromley self defence on a year 9 Enrichment Day. They managed to work with every year 9 pupil in the school working on the fundamental skills of defence. They provide an excellent professional service where the students were actively engaged and learning some fantastic life skills. I was really impressed with the approach from the instructors and they made sessions fun and exciting, can’t wait to have them back . Thank you for a great day. ”

 

Starting Bromley Self Defence has been the best decision of my life so far, without doubt. From my classes I have gained confidence, flexibility, strength and in school I can concentrate for longer, which is really helpful since I am going through my GCSEs. Also I feel I am being friendlier towards everyone since I can get out any anger in class in a safe way. I have been attending since February and knew I would like it from the first lesson. Everyone has been really friendly right from the start and I soon felt part of the community. I now attend classes three times a week, since it has become my biggest hobby and I have double graded at both of my gradings. ”

“ One of the best forms of self defence I’ve ever done – easy to pick up and applicable to real-life scenarios. Classes are friendly, fun and a great way of keeping fit, Cheers. ”

“ My 8 year old son has been attending classes for 6 months now and has gained a great deal of self control and confidence. He has progressed from white belt to white senior, and was very proud to attain yellow belt last week. I believe that self defense is such an important skill to learn. All members have huge respect for the Chief Instructor and his team and the disciplined approach is great for my son. It is also fun, he really looks forward to attending the sessions. Once my daughter gets a bit older, both herself and myself will be joining the family class. I would highly recommend Bromley Self Defence. I hope my son never has to use the skills he’s learnt, but it is comforting to know that he can defend himself if he ever needs to. Regards. ”

“ I have been doing this for just over a year and it has changed the way I look at self defence. I have done other forms of martial arts before but I have found Bromley Self Defence the most practical and disciplined martial art. Not only are the moves practical and effective but we are taught in a fun and disciplined way. I have lost 3 stone since starting along with a healthy diet and I have had a lot of fun in the process. I train twice a week and if I could do more I would I look forward to going to training and have made some good friends . ”

“ Bromley Self Defence is an excellent self defence class. The school owner has a unique ability to take the art and apply it to street situations. Bromley Self Defence is a very modern martial art that gives regard to the health and fitness of the student and not just hitting and kicking an attacker. The school owner is supported by a large team of instructors who are all able to give one to one tuition if a student requires such. I attend these classes because I believe in the school owner and respect his abilities. ”

“ Bromley Self Defence has improved my fitness and is a very practical martial art. The Instructor runs interesting yet demanding classes and always adds a touch of humour to make it fun too. ”

-Simon Nash

 

“ After doing several martial arts I have finally found one that is both interesting and practical. It’s simplicity makes it enjoyable to do. The Chief instructor is excellent teaching his techniques to his students and uses humour to get his point across. A good level of instruction in the different classes (children’s, intermediate and adult) is aimed at the age/skill group being taught. GIVE IT A GO. ”

-M. Whiting 2nd Degree Instructor

 

“ I’m another parent who joined because her son wanted to. We have both gained so much. My son has been able to deal with a school bully with confidence and minimum aggression. I am so much fitter and for the first time in many years free of back pain. I also walk with confidence when out alone at night and no longer feel like an easy target. Would recommend this club to anyone of any age. ”

-Teresa Ridge

 

“It was the parent/child aspect that attracted me to Bromley Self Defence. With my son starting secondary school, I was keen for him to develop the self-confidence and control that comes with practicing a martial art. BSD has been perfect for him – and it’s done me no harm either! I’d strongly recommend Bromley Self Defence to any parent. ”

-Mark Smith

 

“I started this class because I did not want to go to a gym, I was limited with regard to time as I work some evenings and Saturdays. I have been a single parent for the past 18 months with two teenage boys following my husbands mid life crisis. I wanted to do something for myself to start getting fit and to get a bit of confidence. I enjoy the classes. They are a great bunch of people of mixed ages and very very patient. ”

-Yvonne H

 

“Great environment to learn and practical, accessible form of self -defence. Promotes really good levels of overall levels of physical health, in a setting that is enjoyable to learn in, but also serious about what it promotes and teaches. ”

-Jon Cribbens Senior Assistant Instructor

 

“Like so many others, I joined after initially taking my youngest son along. Although I kept quite fit, my flexibility and stamina had suffered over the years. As I have attended the classes over the last year and a half the movements and exercises have been excellent and are very practical for my ‘older’ joints. Couple that with the practicality of this martial art in the real world, I would seriously recommend this to all of you that are fed up of sitting by the TV every night thinking about getting fit. ”

-David Rowson

 

“I joined the class a year ago to learn a new sport and recapture the discipline that I had lost. Bromley Self Defence has given me this plus lots more. I will definitely pursue this further and will enrol my chldren when they get older, a fabulous way to keep fit and instill confidence. ”

-Paul Byfield

 

“Originally I only meant my son to join but after watching his first lesson I wanted to join myself and now I am hooked. The Instructors are all very patient, helpful and approachable the other students are also all very friendly Learning Bromley Self Defence is not only a good way to keep you fit but it could save your life especially in the world we live in today. ”

-Denis Hodges

 

“I started at Bromley back in November, after only watching 5 mins of a class. My first class proved to be just what I wanted, good training using logical techniques that work and make sense. But my reason for going back the next time and joining up to Bromley Self Defence was the instructor, a down to earth guy who knows his stuff and who knows how to demonstrate and get across what he is teaching. I only go to the adult class which is a really friendly atmosphere with men, women, young and old (me being one of the old ones) but I always get there early and that’s when you see the instructor’s other talent and that is how he works with the kids, good discipline and good fun.”

“My 15year old son Adam, has been attending Bromley Self Defence classes for approximately 6 months. He loves it! In this time he has started to progress through the belts and has just made gold belt – a great achievement. He is determined to achieve black belt as soon as possible. This will take time and dedication, which he has. The coaching and attention that Adam has received has been exceptional. The instructors and fellow students are without exception friendly and professional. I have attended lessons to watch them all in action. It is a great experience. Adam has benefitted hugely in terms of both physical and mental well being. He is also acquiring a great skill which he can be proud of and is learning a great form of self defence. I would highly recommend anyone, of whatever age to get involved. There are very small kids taking part right up to senior citizens. Everyone is made very welcome. ”

-Bob Brown

 

“My two girls (aged 6 and have been taking part in Bromley Self Defence since April this year. They have thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to each new grading. I have seen my eldest particularly grow in confidence and spirit. I would highly recommend Bromley Self Defence. ”

-Paula

 

“After a recent unpleasant incident I decided to look for a local self defence class. I’d had some previous experience of martial arts and therefore knew I wanted to find a class which took a no nonsense and practical approach to real life conflict situations, something that actually works on the street. I looked at a number of different classes in the Bromley area and it appeared that Bromley Self Defence might fit the bill. I’ve been attending for a couple of months now and I’ve not been disappointed. The classes are enjoyable, the people are friendly and I already feel better prepared to deal with aggression or violence, should the need arise. All the best. ”

-Andy (White Belt)

 

“It is challenging, but I have found some of the benefits of learning Bromley Self Defence is that it develops courage, fitness and self-discipline all of which enable self-confidence and a more rational approach and resistance to stressful situations. The environment is friendly with the instructor and fellow students keen to help others progress. In addition insight into psychological and sociological aspects of training and self defence are provided. ”
