About ECKD
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.
