“Great instructor and person, awesome to work with has so much experience and depth of knowledge to tap into, makes you feel at ease no matter what level of skill sets you have.
It’s a great little art to practice as either a stand alone system or even better a fantastic bolt on that compliments your martial art systems and has certainly improved my TKD, and finally if you like the historical side of an art it certainly doesn’t disappoint.”
Jason Goss - 6th Dan TKD practitioner & Defendo advanced apprentice instructor
“I wholeheartedly endorse Clive Elliott and his courses. I have known and trained alongside Clive for over 15 years. He is a master at his craft, and he is my friend. Clive's dedication to training, level of skill, ability to teach, and real world experiences create a unique combination which is increasingly rare in today's world of puffed up egos and "paper tigers."
He is world-class. Do yourself a favor ... train with him. You won't regret it.

“Defendo is a truly wonderful combative system, perhaps not a Martial Art as its normally understood, more a kit bag of techniques, which can stand alone or can be integrated in your own style.
I was privileged to meet Clive soon after he brought the system back to the UK from Canada and have watched the art blossom & develop under his stewardship. Clive is the Real Deal as a martial artist and teacher, a multi- disciplinarian and the ideal man to conserve and pass on this totally unique and quintessentially British combative”
