A note to Peter, Geoff and Dawn
The BCA training camp at Lilleshall was the best training camp I've been to in over 20 years in the martial arts. It not only had some of the best instructors in the World, but also some of the nicest and most genuine people
I've ever met - in life, not just in martial arts...

Instructor Lineup

We are very pleased to announce that we have two of the U.K’s foremost martial artists for the course, being Dave Hazard and Russell Stutely. Both Peter Consterdine and Geoff Thompson will be instructing assisted by a lineup
of the top coaches of the BCA.

Dave Hazard

A 7th Dan in Karate with a worldwide reputation, Dave is acknowledged as one of the great technicians of the Karate world, but with a fierce fighting reputation and a karateka acknowledged by all top Japanese masters as
one of the very best UK practitioners.

Dave started his Karate career in 1969 training with Sensei Eneoda, Kase, Shirai, Kawasoe and Masatoshi within the K.U.G.B as well as Nakayama.
A graduate of the infamous JKA ‘Instructor’s Class’. Few foreigners survive the rigours of this course which is acknowledged as some of the hardest Karate training in the world, attendance being only by invitation.

Russell Stutely

Acknowledged as Europe’s Number 1 Pressure Point Expert, Russell has revolutionized the application of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pressure point techniques with the traditional martial arts. What Russell has done with his art is to open the door for all martial artists, from whatever discipline, to massively enhance their effectiveness through pressure point applications. Boxing, grappling and, in fact, any punching and kicking systems stand to be improved with these remarkable techniques.

What Russell can give you is the ‘magic bullet’ you’ve always been looking for - it’s like having a genuine ‘Vulcan Death Grip’ These techniques are real ‘force multipliers’.

Peter Consterdine & Geoff Thompson

Hopefully, we don’t need too much of an introduction, however both Geoff and I recognize that people expect our usual high level input to the course and they won't be disappointed. This is an opportunity that we both look forward to, for us to get in front of our BCA and non-BCA people on the course and inspire and motivate as well as instruct.

If you read the testimonials on the BCA website you will get a real feel for the friendliness you can expect and the openness displayed by all the instructors. Everyone is made to feel welcome and this is a course where no-one will expect you to be bowing and scraping but where we are simply ‘first amongst equals’. Whether you want to learn to ‘hit like a train’, or be motivated to actually change your life, you will get this from Geoff and myself. Geoff and I will have presentations on various subjects in the evening Lecture Theatre sessions and are always on hand to answer your questions and help with your techniques.

BCA Coaches

We always ensure that the instructor to student ratio is high and throughout the weekend you will also have some of the U.K.s foremost combat coaches. You should, hopefully be familiar with our instructor cadre.

The support line-up includes;
• Iain Abernethy
• John Skillen
• Alan Peasland
• Peter Lakin

In their own right these are some of the most sought after seminar instructors both in the U.K and Internationally. They are some of the BCA’s frontline people and you will have numerous opportunities to pick their brains and plug into their unique skills.

The course will be held Thursday 29th October to Sunday 1st November and will include ALL accommodation, meals and training.
