The means of advertising and promotion for combative, self-defence, martial arts and related services and supplies are very different from years gone by. The Todd Group, formally and formerly the Baldock Institute, was established in 1927 and is the oldest global private training provider to the military of its kind. A stand-alone organization over 80 […]
It never ceases to amaze me on how the majority think that they are fully committed to their training and are fully competent. Many believe that attending or instructing several short sessions a week can be classed as full-time.

This has meant some fast and furious advance work has been required on the e-mag front. If there is one […]
It never ceases to amaze me how closed eyed and minded some people can be.
