The instructors and associations teaching the Real Combat System are Mark Fry (Integrated Self Protection), Al Peasland (Complete Self Protection), Matty Evans and Tony Sommers (Intelligent Self Protection), are all of the most experienced you will find in the UK.

The objective of this system is to develop the individual’s psychological perception of street awareness whilst increasing physical and technical proficiency, in order that, should a physical confrontation arise, one may defend oneself.

The system incorporates both mental and physical training and its initial approach to Self Protection is to teach the student Personal Protection skills in prevention via awareness. Its physical aspect incorporates practical martial arts disciplines such as Boxing, Muay Thai, Greco-Roman Wrestling, Freestyle Wrestling and Ju-jitsu.

The techniques taught have all been pressure tested in real environments and situations, furthermore, training in these systems not only increases one's technical proficiency but also enhances confidence development and improves general fitness.
