The 360 Defence guys done a course in Giffnock but it was more than just Krav Maga. Think it costs £80 for the day and covered things like self-ministered first aid and vehicle work. We looked at it as part of our hostile environment training for the folk going to danger spots with my work but it spent alot of time looking at the laws surrounding self defence in the UK so aside from the practical use it wasn't really suited to us.

to LesMTS and Zooropa

It depends on the ryu in classical japanese ju-jitsu, it's an adults only belt in BJJ and in some mdae up arts I've no idea.

There's no quality control on belts in Martial arts and it's a huge problem. Thank fuck combat sports are there to force people to put up or shut up so that when you step onto the mat or into the ring/cage you can't have pretentions of being a fighter thanks to a strip of cloth, you either have game or don't.

Yeh, I think Simon works with/for 360 Defence.

I knew of this course, but it seems that there's talk goin on for an actual Krav Maga class.

I've never understood the need for it to be so expensive. Might give this a go once I get paid though

Probably just because it's no so widely available compared to other martial arts/self defense classes. Less competition and that. Bit pish but.

Israeli guys coming from Israel (obv) to learn an Israeli self defence method in Scotland?

Can they no just take a holiday like everyone else?
