Jack is great. Very easy to talk to and willing to tailor to what you need. I booked lessons for my husband who is loving Jack's teaching. Just watching his technique is very impressive. I use a wheelchair and Jack will be teaching me some skills too. I highly recommend him

Fantastic club to join if you are interested in learning Krav Maga/self defence. Jack the instructor is very friendly and I have found him very welcoming and great at teaching. This is suitable for all ages male or female and you will walk away from your 1st lesson with more knowledge than you would expect. I am now hooked and look forward to progressing in Krav Maga.
