Testimonial for Simon White

“Simon is the epitome of everything a martial arts/ self defence instructor should be, he has a vast repertoire of knowledge and skills gained through years of dedicated training at the highest levels and he is able to pass these on through his professional approach and a genuine concern for the quality of instruction given to his students.

It should be noted that Simon is so much more than this, he exceeds all benchmarks, goes above and beyond the standards, his passion is infectious always demanding more of himself and finding new ways and challenges to prove it and continue to set the example for others to follow. Simon is conscientious combined with a great work ethic and humility is genuinely one in a million, I unreservedly recommend him to anyone and everyone seeking world class martial arts/ self defence training anywhere in the world and beyond“
