Pritchatts Park: Successful class

The self defence class at Pritchatts Park was a good start to the halls classes. 12 people took part and I could see they enjoyed it. I had never been to one of these classes before that day and I saw there that it was just learning about how to hit someone, it was how to be aware of your surroundings, because if you are aware of your surroundings you are less likely to get into dangerous situations. The first half of the classes was based around the concept of “commentary walking” and how best to avoid the situations that would mean you would need to defend yourself. The rest of the session compromised of using pads to practise some more physical techniques.

Our instructor Bob Spour (http://www.bobspour.co.uk/) was great to work with and as an added bonus his son, who is a police officer in London came to the class to offer participants the chance to ask about the legal ramifications of defending yourself. Overall it was an enjoyable day, even if it was raining! :(
