A typical training
session at Radcliffe College of Self Defence covers single stick and double
sticks techniques, unarmed defence from both armed and unarmed attackers. We
do have formed drills in our curriculum, but our goal is to enable our
students to break out of the set forms. Training reflexively in un-patterned
freestyle drills where the students can start out slowly and work their way
up to full speed attacks from random angles. This can be practiced with
single stick, double stick, stick and dagger, empty hand, empty hand against
knife, knife to knife and in multiple attack scenarios both armed and
unarmed.
Radcliffe College
of Self Defence practitioners are taught grappling techniques, counters and
escapes from the ground. Deceptive, and more importantly stable, low-line
kicks to sensitive nerve clusters and other vulnerable areas are taught in
conjunction with close range empty hand fighting methods, utilizing every
available part of the human anatomy. Radcliffe College of Self Defence
practitioners are taught how to strike, control and throw their opponents.
Treating every scenario as a possible encounter involving multiple
attackers.
Our goal is to keep the training in our system as close to what might happen
in a real altercation, incorporating unexpected angles of attack from all
sides. Simulating both the speed and aggression of a real attack. The
Radcliffe College of Self Defence curriculum has been designed to provide
beginners and advanced practitioners alike with a complete set of armed and
unarmed self-defence skills.
Aside from its focus on effective combat techniques and principles,
Radcliffe College of Self Defence also uphold the traditional system of
Filipino martial arts that places great importance on moral and ethical
development.

The following is a comprehensive list of what is taught in the Radcliffe
College of Self Defence curriculum;
COMJUKA KEMPO
(Combat Kickboxing, Combat Grappling, Street Combat Defence)
In unarmed combat we utilize nerve
disruptions, limb and bone destructions, coupled with low-line kicks, elbow
and knee strikes from Manchurian Kempo; synthesized with empty hand
techniques from other martial arts. Joint locks, seizing and throwing
techniques from COMJUKA (Combat Judo Karate) also compliment our Kempo to
form a unique modern pragmatic system of unarmed self defence which is
constantly evolving to address situations that our students might encounter
in a street confrontation.
SOLO BASTON
Single stick techniques from various styles
of Arnis, Kali and Eskrima covering respectively; Long Range, Medium Range,
and Short Range. Training in solo baston techniques progress towards the use
of the machete. Students are first taught the proper form for striking,
defending, evasion, and disarming and progress towards free sparring drills.
Discarding preset patterns, slowly moving towards expert training at their
own pace.
DOUBLE BASTON
Double stick techniques are regarded as
being the highest form of Arnis requiring many years of training. Students
begin with preset coordination drills, and progress towards defensive
skills. Training with double baston is necessary for moving to the next
phase of training. Because of its complexity, many years must be spent
studying double baston in order to become proficient in its combative use.
ESPADA Y DAGA
The practicality of Espada y Daga (Sword
and Dagger) training can enhance the practitioner's single and double stick
skills; providing an essential link in any student’s progression. The
student will learn the basic form for Espada y Daga, and move towards
partnered drills. Eventually he/she will begin free form practice learning
to defend against single stick, double stick, and stick and dagger attacks
without preset patterns.
DULO-DULO (DOS PUNTOS)
Dulo-Dulo is a double pointed palm stick
that can be used to strike nerve clusters, bone and vital areas. These same
techniques can be applied with improvised weapons such as pens and
flashlights. This training is practiced in pairs and progresses towards free
form practice, discarding preset patterns.
