“Having trained and instructed in several martial arts for the last 30 + years, completed courses with some of most respected instructors in the world, engaged in door work, trained and instructed members of both the Police force and the British Army, I’ve yet to find anything that brings as much realism to my attitude to self defence as much as Krav Maga does. This coupled with the fact that Jim Halton is one of the most all rounded instructors I’ve had the pleasure to train under, I feel more than qualified to recommend this school to anyone wishing to better themselves, either physically, mentally or just out of need to feel safe.”
– Tony Baxter, Bristol
“Jim is an amazing teacher. I was a bit worried before I join as I’m a girl and never done anything like Krav Maga before but all the instructors and members have been very helpful to me. Friendly environment. Definitely recommend.”
– Qiao Tong, Bristol
“I’ve felt so confident personally since starting my training here and Jim is a fantastic instructor. I’d recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn some good self defence, socialise and help improve overall strength & fitness.”
– Francesca Haines, Bristol
“Our instructor Jim Halton has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience over many years of training and teaching and is passionate about delivering first class training to his students. Self defence is a serious business and is physically and mentally demanding but Jim tempers this with a good sprinkling of humour. Enjoyable and character building, look no further for a top Krav Maga school.”
– Frank Sneddon, Yate
“Having been in the military for 22 years I can absolutely advocate that Jim is a top class instructor. I was welcomed from the start and the knowledge and skill sets of Jim and the seasoned fighters is invaluable. Everyone willing to help the less experienced guys/girls. I am thoroughly enjoying it and can not recommend it enough.”
– Keith Pybus, Bristol
“I have done many kinds of martial arts, I have been trained by the Royal Marine Commandos. But I have never found a better form of defense. This is not down to Krav Maga alone. Jim is one of the best trainers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Every one of his lessons leave you feeling Fitter, Faster and Stronger. Not just physically but mentally. Krav also gives you a safe state of mind, because of the training Jim gives you, no matter what situation you face, you will always react with appropriate action.”
– Jon Bale, Thornbury, Gloucestershire
“Working as a Door Supervisor and having experience in other martial arts such as Judo and Karate, I can definitely say that Krav Maga is the best suited to real life situations, giving you a massive confidence boost in your day to day activities. Not only is Krav Maga a great method of self defence, it also includes fantastic fitness drills which give you that extra push and determination to work through fatigue and improve your general health.”
– Ryan Ali, Kingswood
