But we are the only school in the area which combines this with a modern approach for self defence.***
Therefore we train the most common attacks according to law enforcement too.

1. One person pushes, hands to chest, which is normally followed by the pusher striking first, to the head.
2. A swinging punch to the head.
3. A front clothing grab, one handed, followed by punch to the head.
4. A front clothing grab, two hands, followed by a head butt.
5. A front clothing grab, two hands, followed by a knee to the groin.
6. A bottle, glass, or ashtray to the head.
7. A lashing kick to the groin or lower legs.
8. A broken bottle or glass jabbed to face.
9. A slash with knife, most commonly a 3 to 4" lock blade knife or kitchen utility knife.
10. A grappling style head lock.

*** And we included training with any kind of today's weapons. Natural and unnatural.

New Logo for the Anti Terror Combat organisation

The Anti Terror Combat organisation is proud to publish their new logo

The previous logo with the flashy death's head was in use to start with, but we thought it looked a bit childish and coltish. As well the font Anti Terror Combat uses now is more readable, less artistic and serves the purpose. As clear the system itself, as awesome the appearance.

Life is a fight!    -   Motto of Anti Terror Combat

Update  >>> 

Anti Terror Combat is now called BlackCombat!

Eye sight Yoga seminar coming up this April

Eye sight Yoga seminar coming up this April, 16th , 10-12 am in Bridport.

Tantra Yoga - Three eyes seminar 
With master Horst Lindenau

The effects of eye exercises are dual. Physical: Yoga eye exercises help to maintain or improve the 
sight and energetic: Since the eyes are also connected to the important Nadis (energy channels), eye exercises harmonize the solar energies in humans.

In addition, the eye exercises open the so called third eye, the Ajna Chakra, which stands for 
intuition and knowledge. The third eye is our connection to the spiritual energy of wisdom and 
knowledge.

When the third eye is open, energy can flow freely.

The training is, of course, holistic.

When? Sunday, the 16th of April 2017 - 10-12 am
Where? Dojo 86 North Allington, Bridport
Booking: text/call 07968 235486

Costs: £ 20.oo pp

Miyamoto Musashi

"The true science of martial arts means practising them in such a way that they will be useful at any time and to teach them in such a way that they will be useful in all things." 

Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi (宮本 武蔵^?, c. 1584 – June 13, 1645), also known as Shinmen Takezō, Miyamoto Bennosuke or, by his Buddhist name, Niten Dōraku was an expert Japanese swordsman and rōnin. Musashi, as he was often simply known, became renowned through stories of his excellent and unique double-bladed swordsmanship and undefeated record in his 60 duels (next to 33 of Itō Ittōsai). He was the founder of the Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū or Niten-ryū style of swordsmanship and in his final years authored The Book of Five Rings (五輪の書Go Rin no Sho^?), a book on strategy, tactics, and philosophy that is still studied today

Meditation at Ichinen Bridport

 

Sometimes in life one needs guidance and advice. In this worksheet I will talk about the value of Mediation and how it can be approached.

I have been meditating myself for many years now. Basically it started for me when I entered the world of the Martial Arts and Yoga.  In 1989 when I graduated as a 1^st Dan Jiu-Jitsu I was already close to other Masters who offered meditation and I was lucky to “study” with them. 

Later in 1996 I graduated finally as Tantra Yoga teacher and after that I never been without the meditation.

I have compiled a selection of the topics I found relevant to know and hope they will raise your interest too.

1. Meditation is not what the people say and what you read about it in the media or social media sometimes. Before the meditation there is the concentration and after that the contemplation.

2. You cannot learn this from books or other media. You need the personal advice, because meditation opens doors of your life they might give you a struggle to deal with on your own.

3. There are many ways how to meditate. Best is to choose one and stick to it for good progress.

4. You need daily practise. And do not expect fast results.

5. Meditation can change your circumstances (Life) but it is not a quick fix.

6. Keep it simple. A simple approach is good for many things in life.

7. Stay happy along the way. It helps a lot!

8. The fire of emotions needs to be kept low.

9. Patience is the essence of a man says an Asian proverb. Be patient with all what comes.

10. Free your mind from all these stories J

11. At Ichinen we meditate every Sunday morning at 9 am. Join in and start your journey.

Jiu-Jitsu self defence training - Self falling skills

In this short clip you watch Lewis Harris doing a self falling technique on Trevor Barton. This throw is relatively easy to learn and can be excellent used against taller attackers. 

Bridport martial arts school in the news

This weeks edition of the "Bridport News" covered our Bridport martial arts school Ichinen Bridport. Learn the way of the warrior is the headline and it gives a very good idea what this martial arts school is about. Master Horst Lindenau, who is the chief instructor and 2nd Dan Jiu-Jitsu is looking forward to find these three new students.

The advantage of private tuition with Master Horst is unchallengeable

The advantage of private tuition is unchallengeable. Weather you are a member of a regular martial art class already or you have no commitment at all in the moment and look for a way to get active. A private lesson will give you this ignition to do something for yourself.

Master Horst Lindenau offers private 1:1 teaching in the martial arts, Yoga and meditation. It is possible to connect two students too. Master Horst is a licensed sports teacher for martial arts and yoga with over 27 years of experience.

If you are serious about your training and learning, don't miss out this opportunity in the Bridport area. There are not many skilled teachers around like master Horst Lindenau and you don't need to travel too far for your tuition.

The training is either in the Bridport Dojo or even can be arranged at your home. The costs are calculated on what package you book and how often you like and need training.

You can get trained in the following arts

Jiu-Jitsu is the most complete solution if it comes to martial arts. With Jiu-Jitsu you will gain skills for not only self defence but you train your mental attitude as well. The style Master Horst teaches is traditionell, effective and convincing.

Anti Terror Combat is a radical self defence. With these skills your life becomes safer and it is "easy to learn".

Update  >>> 

Anti Terror Combat is now called BlackCombat!

Yoga does not need much explanation. Yoga is the oldest form of physical training. Probably 5000 years the first traces can be dated back. Today Yoga became a big industry in the western world. If you don't like or cannot join a regular local Yoga class, Master Horst is a graduated Yoga instructor and a Tantra Yoga teacher too.

Training available for male and female over the age of 12 years. There is no age limit upward.
