I have been training in martial arts since the age of 8. I am a full time Urban Krav Maga instructor and British Combat Association instructor. I was formerly an Instructor with a different Krav Maga organisation. Prior to this I have a strong background in muay thai (thai boxing frequently visiting and training in Thailand).
Having trained at the legendary Fairtex gyms in Bangplee (Bangkok) and Pattaya. Along with K1 fighter Ole Laursen's Legacy Gym in east Thailand and Rawai Muay Thai down in Phuket. Whilst travelling and living in some rather unsavory parts of Thailand I realised that Muay Thai alone was not enough. Upon my return to London I started training with Stewart McGill and passed the intensive instructor's course in the system in which he then trained. When Stewart along with a group of other Krav Maga instructors formed Urban krav maga it was the answer I had been looking for.Coming from a striking background I found the lack of striking and especially pre-emptive strikes was a hard pill to swallow. Urban krav maga was the answer. This new system blends together fighting systems as well as various styles of Krav Maga: Karate; Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Traditional Jiu Jitsu, Aikido, Boxing, Muay Thai, Tae Kwan Do and MMA. Thus giving its practitioners all the tools they may need in a self-defence situation. People need no-frills, effective self -defence techniques that can be learned quickly and instinctively, are clearly applicable to real situations and that don't require levels of strength, fitness and flexibility to which only professional sports people can aspire. In Urban Krav Maga these questions are tried and tested through the "pressure testing". A highly intense attack scenario which makes transparent all flaws.
Holding a REPs level 3 personal training qualification means I can aide in my students progress in all aspects.
I currently spend the majority of my time teaching individuals in Kensington & Chelsea. From lawyers and bankers to company directors and West End night club owners. I also teach members of the Metropolitan Police in Sutton, South London. Take a look at my recommended workout Call Paul on
