What is Force International online training?

Good question as I was always very sceptical about online training where the topic is physical and hands on like self-defence, I own and run martial arts clubs now for 15 years, it was prohibited to have physical contact during Covid-19 and club members  were not allowed to attend training facilities, instead We took the training online for almost 2 years and it was a great success to my surprise and delight.

Force self-defence started in 2009 as FORCE standing for FEAR-OVERCOME-REACT-CONTROL-EXECUTE it was then known as Force Medway as that was our location and finally renamed Force Self Defence when we started to expand to other areas. We train in the Art of Freestyle Unarmed Combat Ju-jitsu which is mix of everything that works in the real world, our main background is Krav Maga and Ju-jitsu.

Getting back to the original question what is Force International online training? It’s exactly that training online whenever you want from wherever you want, that could be at home, a park even at a friends house it doesn’t matter that’s the beauty of it, you don’t even need a uniform however you can still purchase one if you so desire. This isn’t  just another tin pot course for a company to make a quick buck and I know there are a lot of courses out there offering online training to become a black belt that have no backing and basically sell you a certificate and a belt, let’s face it you could make your own certificate and buy a blackbelt on eBay but it won’t mean anything. We are different, first you are being taught by myself the Club founder or the chief Instructor Jason Anderson who I personally have coached for 15 years or Sensei Esqulant who I have also coach so you will be receiving expert training and receive recognised qualifications and receive belts that count.
