TBD is a committee run, non-profit self-defence organisation, with the aim of providing practical tuition to all levels and ages of student, irrespective of race, age, gender and ability. We aim to provide particularly high standards of training, within a safe, relaxed and informal environment.
The style is simply a method of 'self defence' based on Goshinkwai Yawara principles and methods - It involves Atemi (Striking), kicks, grappling and footwork amongst others, with little of the locks and throws seen in many traditional arts. There is no element of competition involved.
In addition to the weekly classes, 3hr seminars are also run to help develop students.
Separate Women's Self Defence/fitness Programmes are also run routinely.
Students from other organisations are very welcome to attend any of the classes, irrespective of style and grade
