My name is David Close and I’m the head instructor at Close Combat Martial Arts. I have been practising martial arts for many years and decided to pursue a career as an instructor, to help people learn how to defend themselves, get fit, build self-esteem, overcome fears and develop skills.

I attended Freestyle Combat Karate as a child into my teens 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 joined the Gracie University and studied Brazillian Jujitsu. 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.

Close Combat Martial Arts club was founded and opened its doors for the first time in February 2017. Since then I have developed my own unique, graded syllabus based on my knowledge of striking and grappling for self-defence and fitness purposes.
