Browsing online I found this website in the U.S. of a young woman called Dallas Jessop who is "teaching girls to fight back against predators and sexual assualt". The website is worth visiting as the message is inspiring to females worldwide. Women are more physically empowered than many of them realise. We support this philosophy at our weekly PDR and Krav Maga self defence classes.
Female fighters should please note that it is compulsory at all competitions for women to wear chest protection. There's a huge variety of types available and obviously sizes do vary, so for these reasons we do not stock these items for sale in class. Though wearing chest protection in class is not compulsory at present we do recommend their use.

Though many of us may never achieve the atheticism and skill displayed by the martial artists in this video, it is important to remember that, all things being equal ANYONE can achieve this level of excellence. The younger students would do well to take inspiration from these athletes and set about planning their own ascent to excellence.
The 22nd of August saw the first Scottish Cimac Superleague competition being held north of the border. The competition comprises a series of ten events held monthly between February and November where the entrants can compete at as few or as many tournaments as they wish for the opportunity to win the "league" title.
This fairly typical response has been on my mind for some time now. I’m intrigued as to why we feel that, in context to ourselves, the huge majority of us immediately devalue the same set of skills that we would most likely positively encourage others to participate in.
What if I told you that in 90 minutes I could guarantee to make your *husband/ wife/ son/ daughter/ brother/ sister (*delete as appropriate) safer and more confident in their ability to defend themselves. Would you encourage them to attend? I think any reasonable, sensible person would say “well, yeah, of course”.
The photo montage below speaks for itself. We were so proud of the students who took part in the grading and gave it their all. Congratulations to you all.
We are always updating our teaching skills and are delighted to congratulate Charles on successfully passing his PDR Advanced Certification in Ground Fighting. Well done!
Would you take an organ if you needed one? Nearly everyone would. But only 28% of us have joined the Organ Donor Register.
More than 10,000 people in the UK currently need a transplant. Of these, 1000 each year – that's three a day - will die waiting as there are not enough organs available.
Please help us to turn people’s good intentions about organ donation into action by registering on the NHS Organ Donor Register.

I heard this poem in a film a while ago, and for the life of me I can't remember which film. The simplicity struck a cord with me. I hope you like it also.
