Tony Hughes

I have over 17 years hands on experience in various systems. I am also a qualified YMCA "Teacher of Fitness training" and through my job as a London Firefighter i am also trained and certified in first aid and CPR. I trained in Judo as a child under a British army instructor and in my teens I trained and competed in Shotokan Karate for over 5 years until I left the area. When I returned to London I was keen to learn a no nonsence system that dealt in particular with street self defence. This was when I was drawn to the devastating techniques of Kempo-Jujitsu.(2 systems taught side by side). I started training in this system in 1998 and did so for 8 and half years

under Hanshi Peter Browne a world renowned Jujitsu master .During this time I also developed

an interest in the Israeli fighting systems and decided to apply for Instructor training. This was certainly the toughest and most challenging training i have ever experienced. I believe that every system has something to offer but I feel CKM is the way forward in today's ever increasing violent society due to its simplicity and effectiveness. I am very proud to be part of CKM and i now run the "Kent School of Commando Krav Maga" in Kent UK, with fellow CKM instructor Stephen Nicholson

Peter Bilitsch
Level 2 in Commando Krav Maga. Trained Krav Maga for two years. Background in Wado-Ryu Karate.

just as effective as the cutting edge self defense solutions it offers. Alex would be happy to

help you achieve your self defense and fitness goals!

“Having grown up in North London, I have personally faced a variety of violent attacks. I know firsthand the violence you may face outside on the streets. I have also lost some

friends along the way to attacks I now teach to defend against in the very early stages of Commando Krav Maga. CKM practitioners and instructors want a peaceful life but are

aware the world around us unfortunately does not always grant us that privilege. If we are placed in a situation where we cannot avoid conflict then we will respond in the minimum time with maximum damage.

After all, we just want to get home to our loved ones and protect them when necessary.”

 

I have been doing CKM since I was 16 and have found it one of the most effective fighting systems in the world. I have done Jui Jitsu, Karate, MMA, Shoalin Kung Fu and Nin Jitsu and

my favourite is CKM for its simplicity and emphasis on use in a real street situation.

"As an ex-Royal Marine Commando with extensive experience as a close protection operative in Iraq, I am pleased to offer my services in Canary Wharf and central London as a Commando Krav Maga instructor.

Originally from Newport in Wales and coming from a boxing family, I naturally started boxing aged nine at schoolboy level before starting martial arts training at eleven years old primarily in kung fu and other chinese arts. I qualified as a REPS Level III personal trainer/sports therapist in 1999 working in Milan, London and Cardiff before joining the the Royal Marines and earning the coveted green beret winning the CTCRM Light-Middleweight Boxing Championship in the process.

My time in the marines instilled in me a confidence and 'never say die' attitude that in hindsight has ultimately saved my life. Never one to remain stagnant I completed the renowned Ronin Concepts Ltd. Hostile Environment Close Protection course in Hereford, England. This led me to the middle east, in particular Iraq. In Iraq I gained first-hand experience of the ugly reality of war and violence in general, losing close friends and colleagues.

Back home in 'civvie street' it was quickly evident that violent crime such as assault, knife attacks and shootings are an everyday occurrence. With this ever increasing threat and due to my close protection work I began asking questions of traditional martial arts. Those questions have been answered by Commando Krav Maga, the ultimate reality based combat system in the world.

I now offer private lessons on an individual basis or in groups of up to six people. By employing this method my students are guaranteed a training session tailored to suit their needs, strengths and natural ability. None of my sessions are the same as I like to use innovative teaching methods so 'expect the unexpected'. The most important factor is that you will find the sessions rewarding, safe and enjoyable thus raising your levels of confidence for daily life.

Phone or email me to arrange a session".

Ben Morgan

“After Several years of training in traditional martial arts my focus has shifted towards self

defense and reality based pressure testing of technique and concepts. CKM is an excellent yet simple system which I am proud to represent and happy to teach to those who want

learn an effective system quickly. I have a small but growing club in Ealing, West London, so if you want to learn an excellent system and challenge yourself, contact me.”

• Instructor in Integrated Self Protection System (under Mark Fry approved by BCA)
• British Combat Association Instructor (under Peter Consterdine 8th Dan and Geoff Thompson 6th Dan)
• Diploma in Fitness Management

“I have over ten years experience training, competing and coaching in MMA.
In 2002, I became an instructor under Fred Rado at Pancrase Bas Rutten Academy. In 2003, I helped form one of the best MMA clubs in the UK at Pancrase London. After a short break in 2004, in which I achieved a blue belt in BJJ and concentrated on boxing, I returned to Pancrase London and recently became Head Instructor of the club, training alongside and coaching under Jess Liaudin, a professional MMA fighter, veteran of Cage Rage and UFC. Presently, I am coaching and mentoring some of the clubs brightest fighters for amateur, semi-pro and pro MMA competitions.
With a greater demand of my students wanting to learn self-defence techniques, I have decided to take the fight away from the sports arena and into the street and I have looked towards CKM (Commando Crav Maga). CKM offers you practical and easy to learn techniques that are highly effective. CKM techniques have been pressure tested in some of the world’s most hostile environments making this a forward moving system, with new techniques emerging and evolving all the time, updating the old.
CKM builds a stronger and fitter you both physically and mentally helping you to become more confident in whatever life my throw at you.
Remember!!! It’s both your legal and moral right to be able to defend yourself and those closest to you.”

James Westhorpe

James was introduced to martial arts from an early age, but seriously began learning during his teenage years, when he began training in Muay Thai at a local club. He later moved to Leeds

where he continued his studies of traditional martial arts by learning the Chinese system of

Wing Chun Kung Fu, which he became very proficient at and continues to train today.
Although extremely pleased with his development in the traditional arts, he looked towards a

reality based fighting system to continue to develop his own ability and sought to fill the gaps

which he felt the traditional arts was not able to fill. The increasing and persistent threats from

knife and gun crime persuaded James to look for a system that was able to address such concerns, and felt that a reality based system would do this. Therefore James began training in Commando Krav Maga qualifying as an instructor under the teachings of the founder Moni Aizik.

Despite scepticism among many within the martial arts community of the speed which one

can learn a system effectively, James feels that Commando Krav Maga proves such views as

incorrect. He believes that Commando Krav Maga provides the closest to perfect answer to anyone’s needs, that is looking for a self defence system, which they can learn quickly and effectively to protect themselves on the street, without years of training that other martial arts require, and as Commando Krav Maga continues to be taught to Special Forces by Moni, it is constantly tested in the field and proven to work.
James also has experience in the security sector, which has involved a practical and theoretical understanding through experience from the large spectrum of security work ranging from low

level tasks such as retail security and surveillance work to broader security issues, such as security consultancy work, helping research developing international security and political situations.
On the whole James continues to seek and develop ways to contribute towards his own greater development and understanding of martial arts, which a large part involves teaching a system

which will benefit all who may learn from it, to help defend themselves effectively when confronted by potential threats that we all face in today’s society.
James will start teaching publicly from Thursday January 10th 2008 at the following locations:
Monday: 7.00pm – 8.30pm, Hendon School Sports Hall, Golders Rise, Hendon, NW4 2HP
Thursday: 8.30pm – 10.00pm, LA Fitness, Golders Green Rd, Golders Green, NW11 8HE

Please feel free to come along or contact James from further information regarding

public or private lessons.

Sabine Walton

As a mother of two girls, I was getting more and more worried about my childrens saftey. We joined a martial art, but I soon realized that it didn't give me want I wanted: easy quick defense techniques that you can use on the street! I started searching and stumbled across a public seminar for Commando Krav Maga... I was very nervous at first, since I thought it was only for young tough guys, but to my surprise I saw a real mix of people of all ages ranging from 20-65! Commando Krav Maga is a real street defense art, which anyone can learn. What can I say, I got hooked and am proud to tell everyone now that I am a Commando Krav Maga instructor.
