'Professional and honest with absolute integrity – Can’t wait to train with these guys again'! FAST Defence Bristol Trainee
I taught for 7 years at xxxxxxxxx (name removed) secondry school. In 2007 I was assaulted by two pupils, one used a brick smashing my eye socket and breaking my jaw and fracturing my skull in several places. I was hospitalised for 3 months and unable to drive for nearly 18 months. I was not able to testify as i could not recall the incident. No one was charged.I moved out of the area and I have not worked since. I share this information as I gained so much from this course. I learned a lot of positive things about myself and that I can start again. I would strongly reccomend this course and these trainers to anyone in a simmilar position. These guys are highly professional and although tough, will get you where you want to be. FAST Trainee
"This course really was something very special for me. After years of abuse and living in the shadow of fear I learned that I can be strong, and tough. I cant reccomend this enough to anyone who has lived under the effects of real fear. Thank you so much Paul for all your help". FAST Trainee
"Quick email to say Thanks Mate. F.A.S.T was brilliant. After 10 years traditional training I really have to question what I learned and now teach. I learned more in 4 hours than the last few years and cant reccomend this course enough. I hope to book you at my own Dojo soon !" FAST Trainee
I loved the fact that even though I was standing up to the attacker, I was never alone. The coach was there supporting me telling me "arms up, get rid of him " FAST trainee
That was amazing. I train at a reality based school, but until you have dealt with the adrenaline, fought the attacker and used real techniques at full power you have no idea how you will respond. This is simply awesome. Fast Trainee
No matter what your style, degree of experience or levels of natural aggression these guys bring your adrenaline to an extremely realistic level during in a controlled environment. FAST Trainee
The best measure of any self defence course is via the quality and experience of its instructors. These guys don't do text book or theory because in most instances it won't work. The course is real and just like real-life hostile confrontations. It is a huge self confidence booster, especially when combined with the constant support and encouragement from the instructors and fellow students. FAST Trainees

Thank you so much. This was one of the hardest things I have ever done as an adult, Facing my fear of conflict. What a positive and enjoyable session. Thank you again. FAST Defence Bristol Trainee
Even training tonight (the day after) and having someone sat on me trying to slap me about, I could hear that voice telling me to ‘breath’ – so it works! FAST Defence Bristol Trainee
"Thanks for the opportunity you gave our group today. I was so moved by it I felt compelled to email you and thank you once again. The knowledge you passed on is sorely lacking in modern women and is potentially life saving. I think everyone, not just women should learn these simple techniques "FAST Defence Bristol Trainee

You will find out quickly that most of what you learn during your week-to-week training goes out the window. The F.A.S.T Defence team will give you the supporting tools to deal with these encounters from de-escalation through to all out fighting for survival.FAST Defence Bristol Trainee
Spectacularly reaffirms what I already know i.e. that martial art techniques can be difficult to apply when confronted with hostile, in your face encounters.FAST Defence Bristol Trainee
I did the course with my 2 daughters and I am so glad we did it. I would strongly reccomend this to any mother with teenage children starting to make their own way in the world.FAST Defence Bristol Trainee
Thank you so much Paul. This training was really cathartic for me. As the survivor of childhood abuse followed by 8 years of marriage to an abusive alcholic husband, just standing up and saying NO to a man was liberating, even life changing. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.FAST Defence Bristol Trainee
Thanks for a great day. It was so real. Far beyond my expectations. Now I know what I would do if anyone tried mugging me ;-)FAST Defence Bristol Trainee
I really liked the way we were taught how to identify a potential situation, be assertive without making the situation worse and then if all else fails, we learned how to fight. Boy, did we fight !FAST Defence Bristol Trainee
I was not sure what to expect when I arrived. I hate aggresion or hostility and always avoid any form of conflict, often at a loss to my own self esteem. Today I stood up. I said no. I even fought off an attacker. I never realised that I had that ability inside me. Thank you so very much. FAST Defence Bristol Trainee
