What is DEFENDO?
Defendo, created by Bill Underwood, is the internationally approved "Occidental System of Self-Protection" designed to enable its practitioner to put an immediate end to any physical confrontation, with or without weapons, turning the attacker into the victim.This is accomplished through joint manipulation, restraints, strikes, grips, leverages and by manipulating the aggressor's nervous system.Direct and extremely practical, Mr. Underwood's techniques have proven themselves through "life and death" combat situations in World Wars I and II and North American Intelligence and Law Enforcement communities.
Defendo Revived
Clive Elliot brought Defendo back to the UK in 2003. It has grown from strength to strength and has been practiced from young to the old. Steven began training with Clive in 2003 and is now one of the highest ranked instructors in UK. The system has to be one of the easiest to learn, thus making it suitable to everyone. This is how it was developed to be used by the founder Bill Underwood.
Who should learn it?
Anyone who works within the public sector will benifit from Defendo training. It is a arrest and restraint systems that works quickly to help bring an aggressor under control. At presnt Steven has taught members of the British Army, North Yorkshire Police, Door Supervisor's and countless other martial artists. Eveyone that has taken classes has commented on how quickly and easy it is to learn.
When can I learn it?
Aspects of defendo are taught in class but at present we only teach "pure" defendo privatly and in workshops which are held on the first Sunday of every month.
