Why P.U.M.A. - F.A.S.T. Defence?

P.U.M.A. are the most forward thinking martial arts association in the UK, and we always strive to be the first to bring you the best in the world the martial arts has to offer.

P.U.M.A. now have the first qualified Instructors in the UK of the amazing New self-defence program F.A.S.T. Defence.

What Is F.A.S.T Defence?

As martial artists, we have spent years and even decades perfecting many techniques in many different combinations and as Black Belts we hate to admit that we may be vulnerable to someone with less technical skill or training than we have.

Yet many a good martial artist has fallen prey to a determined street fighter with only a few techniques and a whole lot of “attitude”. The outcome of a street fight is usually determined more by spirit than by the number of different techniques or by the “style” of those techniques and the same holds true of self-defence situations.

Is F.A.S.T. Defence Easy To Learn?

All the techniques are taught first in slow motion rhythmic patterns while you (the student) say the technique aloud.

Each time the pattern is repeated the level of intensity is increased.

It is then up to the Instructor to determine how much intensity is given to an individual student in each scenario to customize the experience for maximum effect.

Too little and you will not be challenged, too much will overload you and defeat the successful experience. We understand this, which is why the program is tailored to your abilities.

Is F.A.S.T. Defence For You?

We take great care of you throughout the course, we know the sort of fears you may have and we can help you face those fears.

There is no macho attitude on the course. You will feel safe knowing that you are receiving the best instruction, tailored to you and your abilities.

We know everyone is different and because of this we start by keeping all the techniques very simple.

When you have practised and can do the techniques correctly, your fears will diminish and you will feel and see remarkable gains in your self-confidence and defensibility.
