Master Horst Lindenau is a trained doorman too

It is already a year ago since I passed my doorman training at the academy in Taunton. To teach Martial Arts  as self defence too as we do at Ichinen Bridport Jiu-Jitsu, it requires a lot of training and several qualifications for the instructors. Next I have to do is the CRB check again. Than soon the 1. aid is due, followed by the renewal seminar as a coach. 

But you as a student don't need to worry about all this. You just concentrate on your path. Growing with Jiu-Jitsu.

Knifing in a town nearby

Update  >>> 

Anti Terror Combat is now called BlackCombat!

Last Sunday a 28 year old man got stabbed five times in the town nearby during a street fight with a 41 year old man.

It all happened late night at about 2.30 am and the trouble started outside a pub and then continued along through three streets, ending with the stabbing.

Again that reminds me to a comment of the local police here, that our town doesn't need seminars,
teaching knife defence. Then I was holding a special knife defence seminar for Bridport door staff.

The younger man has been seriously injured, as to read in the daily paper. Of course, knifes can injure very badly. Interesting what a local councillor commented. He said:” We do have trouble in town centre on different occasions, that’s true. Our biggest problem is the lack of police in the town at night.

My answer to that, better safe than sorry. Get prepared. Times are not getting better unfortunately and the evil crime swoops over from big towns. Learn the art of self defence here at Ichinen Bridport Jiu-Jitsu with Master Horst Lindenau. Former Anti-Terror-Kampf Master (from Germany) and Anti Terror Combat chief instructor. Every Thursday in Bridport. Martial Arts for you! Starts 7.00 pm.

This is a selection of nasty weapons you can get confronted with nowadays in a street fight

What drives someone to commit a violent act?

I have found this in a magazine and think it is quite informative about our stressful, violent or just out of order behavior. Looks like that some of the usual suspects don't have some kind of responsibility, as it is in their genes. Please click on the picture and enlarge it for easy reading.

Very often I am asked, why do you train these techniques to pupils? Doesn't it make people even more aggressive or violent? And my answer is, no it is the opposite. Someone who has got an aggressive touch in himself, can either be retrained on this matter. And if not, believe me, these kind of people don't stay long. Because they haven't got the stamina to keep on going on top of their other bad behavior. So here at Ichinen Bridport you are safe.

Next Jiu-Jitsu session in Bridport will be on Thursday the 29th at 7 pm. See you there!

Good Jiu-Jitsu session last night at Ichinen Bridport

Last night we trained the fortress. It was inspired by Carl Cooper a former Krav Maga instructor and inventor of the Toxic fighting system. Carl run a class in Exeter and one of his students, Lewis Harris, joined the Bridport based self defense class at Ichinen Bridport with Master Horst Lindenau.

Horst:" Lewis is a great added value to our school and I appreciate his knowledge in real self defense." We all enjoyed a good session of martial Arts and learned a lot.
