Energising Team Building at Zoetis Pharmaceutical

We were thrilled to be invited to deliver self-defence and combatives classes at this weeks corporate team-building event for Zoetis Pharmaceutical. Set against the serene backdrop of Walton Hall and its beautiful grounds by the lake, the atmosphere was perfect for an energising start to the day.

Our classes took place early in the morning, providing a dynamic boost before the workshops and presentations began. The energy and enthusiasm of the participants were truly inspiring.

Last Session before Easter Break

Our classes are a combination of traditional Martial arts and effective reality based self-defence (Combatives).

A great last class before the break where we concentrated on combatives techniques from a personal and intimate distance and effective striking skills as well as side kicks to collapse the hip to gain an advantage over our opponent.

This blog explores the effectiveness of ITF Taekwon Do, particularly highlighting its use during the Korean War, its adoption by specialist police squads in South Korea, and the personal growth benefits it offers to practitioners.
