Explosive Self Defence System

ESDS has grounding in a great many fighting systems, from the Chinese arts of Yang Lu Chan Taiji and Splashing Hands, through karate and judo.
Top that with years of teaching Police defensive tactics and the real world experience gleaned from decades of working the streets in operational police roles.

ESDS is easily learned and easily retained. More importantly, because of its simplicity and its scenario based training methods; it is also easily recalled in the adrenaline charged turmoil of a real confrontation. Our methods enable people of all ages and sizes to hit hard.
All we do is develop that ability to strike powerfully and assertively, so that in the eventuality that you have to fight, you do so hard and fast; thus the fight ends very quickly, with a minimum of damage to both you and the adversary -in this modern, litigious age that fact alone can be important to a great many people.
