"If you want the best of UC, then Craig resides near the top of the food chain in terms of ability to do it and install it in others. A true credit to UC and living proof of someone who paid attention to all that I have shown him! Highly recommended!"

"Driven by mindset and attitude! Those are the principles that Craig stands for.
The same principles you find in UC! Highly recommend!."

"I have watched Craig come up through the ranks of UC and develop into a mature and solid instructor. He is extremely dedicated to his own development. He is very knowledgeable and has a great way of getting the
best from his students."
Malcom Jones

"Craig is one of those rare breed of instructors who knows their subject 'inside and out' but is, in no way arrogant or boastful of his excellent teaching ability which I have witnessed first hand. If you're on the South coast and want to learn how to protect yourself, get in touch. Trust me you wont be disappointed."

the best...Then this is what
you get from him."

Important Notice
Like any product or service there is good and bad Self-Protection So before you part ways with your time or any money, I would encourage you to do a bit of research before you start. Any credible form of Self-Protection should always emphasise the importance of prioritising your non-physical options including avoidance, awareness, conflict resolution and de-escalation prior to any physical applications. There should be teaching modules to include violence psychology, mindset, predatory behaviour, strategies and tactics and all should be presented with the correct context. What is taught should be based on research, evidence and statistics and when it comes to the physical components these should be gross motor, principle-based concepts and skill sets. You should feel free to ask questions, query things and disclose any prior trauma or apprehensions should you so wish without the risk of ridicule. All this should be the bare minimum you should expect from someone teaching Self-Protection, claiming their primary motivation is to help
others over any potential financial gains.
