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’ Self 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 a Self Defence in the real world, 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.
