         All About The Techniques

The British Free Fighting Academy was formed in 1995. The sole intention of Andy Hopwood, creator and founder of this dynamic combat system, was to teach people self-defence techniques that actually work in terrifying real life situations. This DVD gives an in-sight into the unique techniques developed by Andy as he guides and coaches Lucy Speed through his effective methods of self-protection.

British Free Fighting is a dynamic and explosive personal safety system, using only practical techniques for Streetwise Self Defence.

As violent crime increases, more and more people are becoming concerned about their personal safety. The BFFA can help.

This is the total self-defence system with the whole emphasis on using simple, practical techniques. Attacks in real life are always untidy and often frenzied.

So effective self defence techniques need to be kept simple and natural. Elaborate moves take too long and have to be thought out when the immediate need is for instant, effective reaction.

British Free Fighting is a modern combat system developed to make streetwise self-defence easy and fun to learn. It is totally efficient system using only practical techniques, so therefore size and strength are not important. All techniques are designed to have maximum effect using minimum effort.

Remember:

The best form of self-defence is to be somewhere else.
If you can walk away - walk!
If you can talk your way out - talk!
If you can run away - run!

But if the situation becomes violent you must deal with it quickly and clinically.
