Here's a video that was shown on Sky 1's Football behind bars, we were asked to give young offenders an alternative to resolving conflict with violence, instead using assertive body language and the power of their voice.
Please accept apologies for the excessive language used on this video



 

Below are two videos describing FAST defence, one circa 2003, by it's founder Bill Kipp, and the other by UK FAST pioneer Malcolm Jones.

F.A.S.T. is an acronym of Fear and Adrenaline Stress Training and is one of the worlds finest forms of self protection training. The difference between this course and other courses around, is not the technology of the Bullet man suit pictured opposite which allows the student fight with full force under the adrenal rush that everyone experiences in real life street encounters. It's the strategically chosen method of conditioning the student through a step by step process, which can dramatically affect the student's ability not to freeze in the heat of the moment, and if necessary fight like a lion to protect themselves or their loved ones.

Adrenal stress in one form or another occurs in every confrontation, however big or small. From aggressive behaviour at work to a mugging or violent attack on the street, the body is flooded with adrenaline. The biggest factor in self protection is being able to channel the adrenaline and avoid 'freezing up'. The objective of all F.A.S.T. course is that the student should learn to experience and control difficult situations whilst under that adrenal stress.

The problem most self defence groups have is their inability to create a real life situation, therefore giving the student a false sense of security.

F.A.S.T. courses work because we teach the student to achieve these successes in controlled but ever increasing aggressive and violent stressful situations. Although the instructors controls the scenarios, the students have as real an experience as is possible, while effectively programming themselves to deal with the situation if it should happen. When you've completed the course you will have learnt:

• NOT TO BE A VICTIM

• TO BE LESS INTIMIDATED BY AGGRESSIVE PEOPLE

• AWARENESS SKILLS

• VERBAL DE-ESCALATION

• ASSERTIVE BOUNDARY SETTING

• HOW TO OPERATE IN THE 'FROG BRAIN' STATE

• NON VERBAL COMMUNICATION

• SIMPLE EFFECTIVE STRIKES

MOST OF ALL YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TURN YOUR FEAR INTO POWER!!

YOU, YES YOU!! NEED THIS COURSE, DON'T LEAVE IT UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE

F.A.S.T. OPENING CIRCLE

How can I get on a course?

There is no need to join a martial arts programme to take advantage of our F.A.S.T. training. There are basic courses for both adults and children. The adult basic course is 4 1/2 hrs and the children's course is 2 1/2 hrs. After the basics course there are another 4 levels, including weapons, ground fighting, multiple attackers and finally the 'ultimate test'.

There are no fitness requirements, no suits, no bowing and no complicated moves to remember. F.A.S.T. courses have been in existence in the UK since 2002, and in that time our Instructors have taught thousands of people from all walks of life including school children, office workers, security staff and high ranking martial artists.

Our UK team is made up off highly trained and motivated Instructors, who's sole objective is to provide the best opportunity for everyone to realise their own abilities, and gain the power and mindset needed to fight back.

IN SELF PROTECTION TERMS F.A.S.T. IS SIMPLE, HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AND TOTALLY EMPOWERING
