Charles, Craig, Gary and Paul would like to thank Ger O'Dea for the excellent training experience at the recent seminar with Dynamis Gym Edinburgh.  The Personal Defence Readiness Workshop ::  Defending against the Knife seminar was insightful and descriptive of the true experience of being atacked or threatened with a knife.

• explore congruent body language to optimally manage distance and timing
