Those of you who have been with us for a while will remember that a couple of years ago I was working to set up a Society of Applied Traditional Martial Arts (SATMA). I put in a lot of work on it, but I was never quite able to free up the extra time that would be needed for the day to day administration. The project, despite huge support, therefore stalled somewhat. The good news is that progress on such a group is now being made!
I recently had a meeting with Peter Consterdine 9th dan; who as most of you know is the joint chief instructor of the British Combat Association along with...

It’s been a couple of months since the last newsletter went out due to me being extremely busy on all fronts. I therefore thought I’d put all the videos since then on a single page for ease of viewing in case anyone has missed any. We have just under 30 minutes of video in these clips and I hope you enjoy them.
These videos were taken at my home dojo, at private sessions, and at seminars in Sweden and the USA. I’ve a few more “in the can” and I’ll get them uploaded as soon as I’ve had the chance to edit them together.
Many thanks for all your...

Marc MacYoung will be teaching in the UK in October! I highly recommend Marc and anyone who wants their training and teaching to address the realties of violence needs to get to this course. I think you would be hard pressed to think of anyone who has done as much, for as long, for ensuring self-defence is approached realistically as Marc. I’m helping with the organisation and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me (iain@iainabernethy.com). The chief organiser is Mick Franklin and you can find more details from him below:
