Upcoming Seminars
Please note- Mark Davies is one of the UK's foremost experts of Edged Weapons arts, & their application in combat! It is this knowledge along with his experience as a door supervisor where he faced knife attacks many times, that allows him to speak with authority speaking to youths about the dangers of carrying a knife for all the wrong reasons. Having seen first hand the effects of armed combat Mark is active in educating children about the reality of carrying knives.
Mark does not condone the carrying of illegal weapons, or of commiting illegal acts. We teach people nationwide how to defend themselves against that sort of person! Knowledge is power!

If you run a martial arts class or studio & would like the best in personal defensive training (as used & trusted by elements of UK Special Forces) get in contact, as seminar dates are limited. Seminars scheduled so far are:
Tactical Edge Unarmed Combatives & Basic Combative Baton- Sat 13th March, 12 - 4pm, GMac Martial Arts, Craigshill, Livingston
This seminar for Tactical Edge Livingstone will see us working on Tactical Edge unarmed combatives working against street attacks. We're then going to look at the application side of combative baton rather than the developmental side of stick training. Contact John McIllvaney to book.
Limb Destructions Seminar- 'Breaking the 4 corners', limb destructions for defensive combat. April 3rd 2010, 12 - 4pm. Combat Ready, Edinburgh.
Tactical Edge uses Limb Destructions as its primary method of intercepting an attack. This is for several reasons. The closest vital areas to you when an attacker is trying to hit you are usually the parts of the body they're trying to hit you with. If you block the attackers limb then you've stopped it from hitting you but not much else, but a limb destruction will cause pain & trauma on the first beat, re-set their 'ooda loop'- & if they're armed blow the weapon out of their hand or at the least weaken it so it is easier to strip or disarm. Because it 'resets the ooda loop' it gives you a far safer entry into striking & takedowns, & causes cross extensive reflex action to take the opposite limb offline for a short time too.
When we use a Limb Destruction we're either targeting motor nerves or joints. When we target a motor nerve we're striking deep into the muscle & inhibiting the release of acetycholine, this means the limb & the brain are no longer communicating! Targeting joints we're destroying the skeletal structure of the body; either way we're taking the fight aggressively to the bad guy, & counter-offense beats defence!
We'll be looking at different methods of destroying an opponents limbs, some of them scalpels & some of them sledgehammers. We'll explore how they can be used against different methods of street attack, & how they allow you to bridge into striking & takedowns; & also how they allow you to more easily effect techniques such as 'returning blades' or 'strip & retain'.
Tactical Edge Founder Mark Davies has used these techniques numerous times against both unarmed & armed opponents, this isn't theory- it's been field tested!
Contact Tactical Edge Senior Instructor Marcus Houston for booking details.
We are available for seminars to any interested Martial Arts groups, regardless of National Governing Body or style.
We have a wide selection of Tactical Edge & ComTech seminars available covering all aspects of unarmed self defence, South East Asian stickwork & Historical blade arts. Our rates are very reasonable, & your students will LOVE it. Just ask John MacIllvaney, Marcus Houston, Master Gordon Wallace, Master Richard Vince, Phil Lear, Andie Adolph, Martin Hewlett, David Condie: or any of the other instructors who have hosted us & who host us again & again!
