Training in Stoke On Trent

[TACTSP]

Close Quarter Combat & Fitness Training

Primarily our programmes / courses are built around pressure testing and adrenalin control, as everything taught on our programmes / courses can be applied in stressful and dangerous confrontational situations.

Participants will gain increased awareness towards any confrontational or potentially dangerous situation utilising our practical, instinctive, common sense approach to confrontation management, I have taught my system to serving military and ex military, law enforcement and specialist security operatives.

Everyone welcome, for more information contact Pete on 07904604956 or peterellis61@ntlworld.com

I met up with Pete yesterday to discuss the courses and training on offer, he's a top quality bloke with what sounds like top quality training to match. I may be forgetting some things here but CQC (Close Quarters Combat), adrenaline control (controlled aggression and that), general fitness sessions and other activities such as hill training were all mentioned which seem great for getting prepared for military training. Did I forget to mention firearm training? Oh how my face lit up, sold there and then so oi was... I'll let you know more come April 19th after the first training session, really looking forward to it and perfect timing for getting in touch as well! All the best, Mike.

Reference my last I met with Pete again yesterday for a CQC session and all went well. There weren't as many people turning up as expected, we were expecting around 10 people but in the end there were just 4 of us excluding Pete due to other commitments which wasn't a bad thing in my opinion because all that meant is Pete had a lot more time to spend with us individually. We started at around 10:45 and finished at about 16:30 working on a mixture of CQC and general fitness training designed to have you working at a level which will leave you knackered however fit you are. Although at the moment I am more interested in the fitness side of things such as the hill sessions (which we will be doing soon) to help me prepare for training in the military I still find the CQC very interesting and in the end I learnt some effective CQC techniques, got a decent workout and had a laugh. Pete is a great teacher with a lot to offer and I for one am looking forward to getting to know and meeting up with him again.

Sounds interesting. Is this just Krav Maga or have you developed your own self defence & street awareness program??

[Mike90]

I'm sure that Pete will correct me if I am wrong but after looking it up on Wikipedia I think it is Krav Maga mate.

[Cool Hand Luke]

Mike90, are you attending this Thursday? I just emailed Pete enquiring about the classes and he's advised me to come along this week.

[Mike90]

I'll do my best to get there mate but with varying college times and getting transport to and from the session I might not be able to make it but I'll get there if possible. Has Pete mentioned the other training such as hill walking and the firearms course?

[Cool Hand Luke]

Ah right mate, I don't even know Stoke much to be honest, only where the uni is, will have to pop on AA route planner.

No he didn't really go into depth about what the sessions entail, he did mention a course taking place on the 24th may though. Suppose I'll find out more thursday.

Hi Guys, Sorry for delay in reply, been busy on CP work, my system is my own guys, I devised it utilising 34 years of training in Martial Arts / Combat also it is partly devised utilising my time in the military of which some I served in SF, I am the Head of Combat Training for the International Close Protection Training Association where my system as been adopted as the official CQC System for operatives trained at the association. I was teaching my system to SF , CP, and Law Enforcement well before Krav Maga came along, nothing personal meant there hope this posting gives a bit of an insight into my system guys, Stay Safe, Pete.

Sounds like some good stuff. All the best with it.
By the way, Krav Maga has been around since the 1940's.

I'd love to come and have a crack and learn some new things but you're too far out of my way for that.

[Stokey_14]

I'm going for some physiotherapy tomorrow on my lower leg as soon as that’s cleared I’ll be looking into attending some of these class's if threes plenty of places left?

Stokey

[Mike90]

There are definitely spaces available Stokey, hope you're injury clears up soon mate. I just took a guess (evidently wrong! ) saying it sounded like Krav Maga after reading the Wiki article on it in that the goals are to inflict maximum damage in a short time such as going for the eyes, breaking bones etc.

Krav Maga plases great emphasis on doing the maximum damage to your opponent(s) while maintaining your own safety as well as others around you, no matter what the situation, no giving up. Then you bug out as quick as you can. This isn't a thread about that though so I'll sling me hook and sod off.

All the best.
