At Fendo Integrated Defence Systems (IDS) we provide quality training for Men, Women, Children & Families from all walks of life around the world. We have worked with Security specialists, Close protection Operatives, Prison Officers, Police Officers, Ambulance crews as well as GP’s, nurses and teachers across the UK in Self Defence, Physical Intervention, Control & Restraints, and knife Defence. Fendo is not a Martial Art, neither is it a typical Self Defence program, we deal with real world violence using scenario replication.
We teach concepts that are simple yet highly effective as well as trained to face, understand, and cope with the fear of violence. Realism sets Fendo apart from most ways of training. We test our concepts under pressure to make sure that they work in the real world. All of this will be necessary to teach you the mentality that will be needed to deal with violence in a real situation.
We treat everyone as equals, there is no place for ego!
Our objective is to train you to save your life or the life of your loved ones in a real situation. We are not a Martial Arts club; we don’t learn Kata and we don’t chase the dream of becoming a Black Belt.
The principles of Fendo and its approach to training are very unique. They evolved from exposure to aggression and violence. Essentially, the principles of Fendo can be categorised into different kinds of principles and training procedures. It was designed to be simple to learn and retain in a short time and to provide effective results. Fendo originates from a lifestyle of both combat Arts for over 30 years in the UK and a career that dealt with serious violence on a very regular basis that helped develop various concepts and real skills that worked in these situations. With the understanding of how to deal with aggressors, violence and survive high risk situations and environments, the founder of Fendo developed his training methods based on pressure testing all 'techniques' and drills to see what adaptations were needed to be functional in REAL situations.
Fendo teaches concepts that can be taught and retained in a short amount of time which are simple yet highly effective. Realism sets Fendo apart from most ways of training. We teach not only the physical elements of Self Defence but also the psychological, physiological, and emotional aspects that are very often overlooked by most Self Defence systems. We test our concepts under pressure to make sure that they work in the real world. All of this will be necessary to teach you the correct mindset that is needed in order to deal with violent situations.
