ECKD syllabus

ECKD operates a

proven and tested

syllabus and

promotion scheme

that takes you

steadily from

beginner (with

possibly no

experience) to being

highly competent at

not only handling any

aggressive

confrontation but, if

you desire, to

Instructor teaching

others following in your footsteps. You will achieve

Federation recognised promotions as you journey from

novice to Black Belt and beyond.

ECKD is unique

ECKD techniques are based on scientific principles and

developed to promote optimum health, fitness and Self

Defence. ECKD techniques are taught to the Police, TA,

Security Organisations, Social services, and many others

who regularly work in high risk situations. These same

techniques are taught to the general public in our own

weekly classes and throughout the year in our public and

Corporate workshops.

ECKD is a modern system

ECKD incorporates many

techniques found in Self

Defence and Martial Art

systems. However, each

technique is thoroughly

‘tested’ to ensure it always

works! Not only that but

before a technique becomes

part of our regular training

syllabus it is ‘modified’ and

adapted to be easily learnt

and executed. ECKD is for

‘ordinary’ people so avoids

being over complicated. You

can be sure that everything

you learn is proven to be the

latest, tried and tested (and lawful) technique. If you are

interested in learning how to defend yourself and others

against a weapon or non weapon attack you need look

no further than ECKD.

ECKD is non competative

ECKD is not designed for competition, and therefore

does not follow the intensity of sports training. The

system is for all who want to learn ‘real life’ and ‘practical’

Defence training. Age and fitness do not matter. Although

ECKD has a recognised promotion system it is not for

people who are solely interested in winning trophies. In

sport there are rules to follow, in ‘reality’ there are no

rules which is why so many popular martial arts like

Karate, Judo etc are great for

competitions (were a student

competes against another doing

the same martial art) but NOT

effective as ‘REALITY’ Self

Defence systems, especially

against weapons! Additionally,

with the stress of competition

removed students continually

develop NOT against each other

but with each other.

ECKD is non hurtful to

practitioners

When practicing techniques

there is no discomfort to one’s

training partner. ECKD acknowledges the fact that

students need to finish the training session invigorated

and happy NOT injured. Safety and enjoyment are our

main priorities. We use proper training equipment such as

gloves, focus mitts and shields when necessary.
