Well, that’s the end of an era – it doesn’t feel like 8 weeks has gone! The CSPS Taster sessions have now finished! There is talk of something happening in September, but it depends entirely on who’s bothered and how many of you there’ll be – if there’s enough of you for it to be … More CSPS Endon Taster (06.07.2011) Feedback

I think today’s main area of improvement was breakfalls, though we went through some rolling and used high and low reference for some nice old-school Wing Chun training. After, we had four students taking their Blue Sash grading – I’m not saying yet who passed and who didn’t; you’ll all find out next week. Paul … More PHDefence (02.07.2011) Feedback

Hi all, All of the students were PHDefence students again this time, so once again we scrapped the original plan and went with some more advanced stuff – in this case some basic weapons defence (handgun, stick and knife). There’s no real news this time to be honest, but it just feels wrong not doing … More CSPS Endon Taster (22.06.2011) Feedback

All of the attendees today were PHDefence students, so I scrapped the original plan of just doing an intro to the basics of upper-body striking, and we did some more aggressive pressure work followed by some surprise work and a few fun drills, before an anaerobic bit at the end. All in all, a pretty … More CSPS Endon Taster (08.06.2011) Feedback

Today we went through some basic falling and rolling, with an intro to fall absorption and throwing. Before all that though we went through how to stand up, stupidly basic as that may sound, it’s of course important to know how to do so without using your hands, as they won’t last long getting stamped … More CSPS Endon Taster (25.05.2011) Feedback

Today I was pleased to see a healthy increase in numbers; we’ve gone from 7 to 13, which is great! We went through some of the basic parrying defensive work, and then had a quick introduction to push absorption (think very basic waveform) work, and then played with getting out of grabs a little.

Hey all, As you know, the first of the CSPS Endon classes went ahead this afternoon – there wasn’t a massive turnout, but the students we got were great. Everyone picked up the stuff pretty quickly, and once nerves were overcome everybody did great. We went through a bit of striking work today, basic punching … More CSPS Endon (11.05.2011) Feedback
