MDS

MDS the system we will use will be that developed by Keith Jolliffe. Keith at 56 has recently retired from the Prison Service; he specialised in Arrest & Restraint and was one of the main developers of the controlling system now being used by HM Prisons. Keith is also a very experienced Martial Artist studying Judo & Jiu Jitsu for 30 years.

This course will cover sufficient material to teach Level 1 status to novice pupils; it will follow a strict format laid down by Keith Jolliffe and the IBF/BCSA. NO SPECTATORS will be allowed on this course, if you are interested in the course and becoming an MDS instructor please send in a SAE or email me on MDS@Clarkeesbar.co.uk

ESSENTIAL DEFENCE

AND CONTROL

The aim of our course is to facilitate the safest possible handling of violent situations. Students will be trained to adapt their responses to the situation at hand. Our methods are flexible as all situations change and vary as they develop. Any team of defenders or restrainers will be required to change their individual and group role as any given situation plays out. All persons in the vicinity of an incident should have a common purpose, to bring it to a safe and speedy conclusion. All potential participants are taught to act within the law at all times as our system has been designed with legal implications in mind. We must always be able to justify our actions.
