URBAN SELF PROTECTION

Training with USP will be an enjoyable experience – you will not be forced to do anything you do not want to and we do not accept students who are dangerous or have an ego problem.

A typical USP class starts off with a light warm up to free the joints, then strength exercises are carried out for a few minutes – you do not have to be super-Fit as these exercises will be adapted to suit you but be challenging enough to help you progress.

We will then train in self-defence methods, which may be defences against bear hugs, knife point robbery, dealing with multiple attackers and even defence against firearms.

We then carry out some form of sparring, be it on the ground or standing up, or we might carry out some scenario training or pressure test a technique.

We then finish with pad work – punching, kicking, kneeing and elbowing soft pads to improve striking skill, power and release your aggression and stress!

USP Combatives Class on a Wednesday is an hour long session, set out in much the same way as a regular class, but concentrates specifically on the fighting aspects of USP.
