ABOUT Emperor Self Defence Force

At Emperor Self Defence Force Dojos in London and Kent we train aspects of self-protection as taught by Master Alexander Dhah. This teaching is not expensive and is for all levels, from people trying to lose weight, to people who are considering going into security or use their self defence skills.

This training includes throwing, striking, blocking, conditioning for painless hit absorption, confusing, disarming weapons, fighting off many opponents (more than one dangerous person), escaping threatening situations and locks. This self defence system is derived from training in boxing, Muay Thai kickboxing and other self defence systems.
