New Blood Compilation

In the

we are most fortunate to have a huge array of some of the best resident Self Protection and Combative instructors in the world. Many of these guys are well established veterans, such as Geoff Thompson, Dave Turton, Kevin O’Hagan, Jamie O’Keefe, Dennis Martin, Peter Consterdine, Mick Coup and Alan Charlton to name just a few; the list goes on and on. In addition to some of these guys, we are also fortunate to have a vast array of up and coming New-Blood instructors whose training lineage and personal experience, qualify them as the current vogue of new world realists within the realms of Self Protection and concepts of Personal Security.

Now for the first time, in one place, UC Services will be hosting a 5 hour seminar at one of Southampton ’s most popular sporting venues, introducing four such individuals. The idea will incorporate four relatively new and up and coming as well as, already established Self Protection & Combatives Instructors; with the idea of generating exposure and profile for each, whilst offering a unique opportunity to train with some of the best New Breed Instructors that Britain has currently on offer.

Names on the bill include;

Al Peasland, Simon Squires, John Anderson and Lee Morrison: The latter will be both teaching, as well as introducing several of his most experienced instructors; all of who represent one part of the bill, leaving three other instructors making up the rest of the compilation for the day. These include Alan Peasland (one of Geoff Thompson’s most experienced seniors) along with a product of Dennis Martin’s CQB Services Instructor’s; Simon Squires (who is my professional opinion, one of the best Combative Instructors for teaching within the realms of non-compliant scenario and stress test training that Europe has ever seen) the final part of this medley is John Anderson, assisted by Matty Evans, and one of Geoff Thompson's biggest influences in the arts of Street Fighting. John, a master of the "Line-Up", now more commonly known as "The Fence", has an un-rivalled background of real fighting experience, born out of many years on the violent nightclub doors of Coventry that have now been well documented in the Geoff Thompson Watch My Back series.

Dynamics;

All seminar participants will be divided into four groups of approximate numbers between the four instructor groups. Each instructor will teach their respective group; for a duration of a 70 minute class, followed by a 15 minute break. From where each group will continue to rotate among the four instructors; with the said 15 minute break after each 70 minute class until all groups have had exposure and training time with all four instructors.

Overview of Instructor Presentation:

Here is a brief overview of what each instructor will present on the day. The commonality here will be excellent presentation and delivery of each instructor’s material, designed to dovetail and over lap, with the overall objective of enhancing each participant knowledge and Combative functionality.

	“Soft skills in Awareness, Avoidance & Escape strategies Employing Pre-emption/Striking from restriction” Conflict and confrontation management skills, using Al’s own adaptation of the Geoff Thompson “Fence” principles. In addition, CSP employs Hardskills in a blended style containing many of the most effective tools from Boxing, Karate, Muay Thai, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Freestyle Wrestling, Sambo Russian wrestling, Judo and many others. Al’s understanding of Fear and the effects we all experience of adrenaline in high stress situations is what sets CSP apart from many other SD classes and is what forms the basis of the prime philosophy of CSP which is to avoid conflict at all costs.

	“Line-Ups and Destructive Striking from Fence Positions” · John's background of real life experience is un-rivalled in the industry. Having been one of the biggest influences in Geoff Thompson's fighting career, John ran the doors of some of the cities toughest clubs in a time when Coventry was one of the most violent cities in Europe. · A master of the Line-up, more commonly known as the Fence, John's background is that of a boxer who has now seemlessly blended the grappling arts to form a very powerful and effective "real" fighting art. · John's no-nonsense and honest approach is refreshing and makes for an excellent, educational and impressive training session
