about the instructor
Richard is an AFA Level 1 Fencing instructor (Club Coach) who briefly trained in a variety of traditional martial arts including Shotokan Karate and Aikido before turning full time to Krav Maga.
As he progressed Richard made the decision to adopt Commando Krav Maga (Level 3 Instructor) since it offered a more evolved and practical approach to dealing with realistic confrontations.
Richard has studied intensively the various traditional and modern components associated with Israeli Combat and in 2008 he developed a fundamental - no frills - training program with one simple goal.
The aim of this program: to train individuals to survive any aggressive confrontation they may encounter on the street.
The name of the program: Israeli Combat Systems.
Richard is based in North London. He runs classes for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
There is also a comprehensive instructor course.
Periodically he holds classes and seminars in both North London and Cornwall.
