   I tried SCS as an MMA novice wanting to try some different martial art techniques as well as gain realistic self-defense skills. The sessions are really fun and flexible, and genuinely tailored to the person in front of him. The techniques are adapted for different body-types, strength, and personal goals, and he is excellent at adapting his teaching style and pace depending on your confidence level, attention span, general weirdness etc, which has been greatly appreciated! Keeping it enjoyable and not getting injured are top priority, which has meant I’ve been able to get so much more out of the sessions than I have from previous ventures into martial arts. Getting to play with different disciplines and doing some weapons training has also been a bonus. Besides all the fun stuff John teaches practical and empowering self-defence. This goes way beyond physical skills but deals carefully with mindset, understanding situations, and how to deal with situations before they get sticky. He’s also extremely knowledgeable about general health and fitness (both mental and physical), and as a newly motivated exerciser I’m certainly benefiting from his nutrition advice and training tips. Definitely recommend!

   After a decade-long hiatus from martial arts, I decided to return to training with John, building upon my previous experiences in traditional martial arts during my teens and a few months of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in my early twenties. My earlier BJJ training was a mixed experience; I often felt overwhelmed by larger opponents and struggled to grasp effective strategies, leading me to step away from martial arts altogether. However, my interest in the sport rekindled after the birth of my first child, motivating me to seek out practical self-defense skills. Training with John has been a revelation. His approach is both structured and adaptable, allowing me to train and spar confidently with a diverse range of partners. Importantly, his emphasis on safety has ensured that I have neither sustained nor inflicted any injuries. The sessions are engaging and thought-provoking, leaving me eager to continue learning and refining my skills. John's expertise has deepened my appreciation for MMA, transforming a casual interest into a dedicated pursuit. I can confidently say that this is the safest and most effective environment for learning practical self-defense in the city. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, this class offers valuable training that will enhance your abilities and confidence.

   John has been teaching my teenage sons for self-defence for some weeks now and he has been able to motivate them in a way no one else could. He focuses on real life situations and tailors his lessons according to their personal needs, abilities and helps them to grow confidence. His patience and non-judgemental approach help them to overcome their inhibitions. I only can recommend him; he has been a great help.

   John is a patient and highly knowledgeable instructor. If you are interested in learning not only mixed martial arts but weapons training and having fun while doing it I would highly recommend. He is very calm and puts you at ease even if you are a complete beginner. John has studied multiple different disciplines and I learned a lot from him from only a few sessions so far. Definitely worth checking out.

   With full responsibility, I can highly recommend the classes. John has a huge knowledge and experience on the highest level I could have imagined. It's worth to mention as well about his listening abilities. I used to train martial arts, however must admit that above mentioned instructor has fantastic skills to have a look at everything from totally other perspective. The atmosphere is brilliant, the techniques he presents are very useful and the safety is a first class! I believe everybody would be fully satisfied. Martial arts are not only to help with keeping us fit but also are extremely fruitful for the way how our brains function. We can easily build self confidence, that is why I also would like to recommend that for people who went through any type of domestic abuse. I'm really glad John has been recommend to me. Dziękuję :) Best wishes.
