Forms

Personal Information, Medical history & Fitness Goals

These forms must be filled out by all students before training commences, we have forms available at the club if you would prefer to do that, which would require you coming in 15 minutes before the lesson starts.

My name is David Close, I have been interested in and practicing martial arts, self defence and preparedness for many years and decided to pursue a career as an instructor, to help people overcome fears and develop skills. I attended Freestyle Combat Karate as a child and competing at the national level, later on in life in 2014 I trained and developed skills in close quarters combat at KAPAP & Krav Maga where I started to help to teach the class and at that point was considering becoming an instructor. More recently I have taken up Kickboxing to keep my fitness level high and joined a family Taekwondo club with my own children, where I help the instructors teach, I then went on to train with the National Federation for Personal Safety (NFPS) where I completed a BTEC level 3 Advanced Award in Self Defence Instruction in October 2016 and the Close Combat Self Defence club was founded and opened its doors for the first time in February 2017.
