Presenters on All About Women, a programme on My Channel Television, recently attended and filmed 3 self-defence classes in London: Urban Krav Maga in Oxford Street, a kickboxing class at The Academy in Hoxton and a karate class. The presenters liked all the classes but I’m delighted to say that the presenter who did all three sessions voted with her feet and signed up for the Urban Krav Maga Beginners Package. We’re chuffed about this and will do our best to keep her face pretty and unmarked for those unforgiving cameras.

After one lesson with Paul from Kensington & Chelsea Urban Krav Maga, George B., Lawyer, put his lesson to good use:
“I was walking through Marylebone Station and as I exited the station, I was asked by a man walking behind me whether I had any money. I said no. He persisted in his questions. I had a pregnant friend with me and was mindful of a situation occuring.
I turned to the man and responed negatively that I had no money. The man came closer to me. I put my hand on him (putting up the fence) and told him I didn’t want any trouble. He got annoyed. I asked him to calm down. At that point he asked me again for money and threatened me with a stabbing if I would not comply. I asked him whether he had ever had his hair in a ponytail in order to distract him, following quickly with an elbow strike to the face.
There was a tussle, I stuck my fingers in his eyes and disengaged. I made sure my friend was ok and then walked quickly back to my office entrance.
When interviewed by the Police I was positively commended by them on my pre-emptive behaviour when threatened by a potential attacker, well known to them and our security.
From one lesson with Paul (Urban Krav, Kensington and Chelsea) I managed to employ the fence technique to gain space and protect myself and distract my attacker so that I could pre-empt his threat to stab me. Paul could well have saved my life.”
