"Here's Important News For AnyoneWho Missed Out On Securing a Place On MyBehind-Closed-Doors 2009 Masterclass...It Cost £1,000 To Attend And Sold Out Within 48 Hours, But Now You Can Get In The Thick Of The Action At a Fraction Of The Price...And Right From The Comfort Of Your Own Living Room!"Message from Geoff ThompsonHi everyone,Last year for the very first time, I decided to open up my strictly private masterclass programme to a very small group of dedicated aspirants. After 36 years in the martial arts, ten years on nightclub doors and twenty years of teaching combative martial arts on the world stage I wanted to bring the essence of everything I'd learned, practiced and discovered into one comprehensive and groundbreaking programme. Over the last four decades I have learned so much about the exciting and infinite potential of every person that walks this spinning planet and I've developed super fast-track techniques and philosophies that enable anyone to achieve excellence in combat - and in life - so quickly that it is startling. I wanted the masterclass to be very personal and very exclusive, and for that reason I deliberately restricted it to just 30 people. I've always found that teaching to small groups of people creates the optimum conditions for fast track learning. It was to be a 6 month commitment (for both the students and myself) to hard training and bleeding edge information. I announced the course on my newsletter just once! All 30 places were snapped up within 48 hours. I actually had to turn a lot of people away, even though the course cost £1,000 to attend. I knew in advance that this masterclass was going to be something very special so I decided to hire a highly professional filmmaker (Stephen Reynolds) to record the whole thing and then boil it down to 6 hours of the most important, life-changing stuff. The feedback from my teaching, books and my once-yearly day courses has been incredible. The word has reached every corner of the globe (I was even invited to teach two years in a row for Chuck Norris in Las Vegas Nevada) so I wanted to make sure that I caught the six month course on film for posterity. I am absolutely delighted with the results, and more proud of this class and the subsequent 6 DVD masterclass series than anything I've done before.It's the culmination, and combination of everything I've learned, and taught over the past 36 years. Let me tell you, four decades ago when I was starting out and desperate to learn and expand I would have died for information like this. I would have sold my very shirt to obtain even a fraction of this very valuable information. For many of the students it proved life changing, even - many said - life saving. It is completely unique; no one else in the world is currently teaching these techniques and philosophies.I know there's never been a programme like this before,and there may never be another like it again. I'm very busy at the moment and I am away from home quite a lot with writing and film work. At present I am only able to teach about four hours a month, and I'm not sure how much longer I will be able to teach at all. So I wanted to capture the masterclass on film because I know that for every person that attended this course there were many who were too late, or simply didn't get to hear about it. If you are one of those people, or if you are simply someone that wants to get ahead of the crowd and excel, then this is a unique opportunity for you to learn what I taught on the masterclass at a fraction of the price of attending. Through this professionally shot recording of the programme, you'll get a front row seat as the masterclass unfolds over a 6 month period. And because it's on DVD, you can watch again and again. I know you're going to pick up new things with each viewing.30 Day Money Back Guarantee Order the programme risk free, and without obligation. Sharon and I have massive faith in everything we teach, and for that reason we are very happy to offer a full unconditional money back guarantee. If you're unhappy with the programme for any reason whatsoever, simply return it, and I'll refund your money in full. Watch a preview of the Masterclass Masterclass DVD Offer - £25 off.

This DVD is the first in the series of hard-hitting self-defence videos. The title is taken from the book of the same name by Geoff Thompson and gives the real truth about close quarter combat. Line-ups, the one punch KO, close impact, fear control and power kicking. These things and many more are all demonstrated by two of the country's leading exponents of self-defence.
The Protection Pyramid.This DVD contains the complete theory on self-protection and shows how to deal with multiple attackers. Street scenarios, threat awarness, the red letter syndrome and clips from real fights are all included. If you have the first in series do not miss this release.
Grappling - The Last Resort.Being apple to grapple is an integral part of any self-defence training. This video starkly reveals the necessity of grappling and shows a variety of chokes, locks and throws. We show you how to beat the kicker, puncher and street fighter. Most fights will, if not over in seconds, become a grapple. Know how to win when it happens.
Fit to FightWinning a street fight is not only a matter of skill and knowledge. You must be strong, fit, aggressive and have developed a 'no lose' mental attitude. This video will show you how to train for that mental and physical effect. We show you different types of fitness, how to train, with what equipment and numerous drills and techniques to develop aggression and the will to win. This video is an essential ingredient for the 'pavement arena'.
The majority of attacks and fights least less than 3 seconds, and are preceded by aggressive or disarming dialogue. This video trains you to read the body language and the attack ritual of bad intention and "stop" your attacker in the blink of an eye by using a physical and/or psychological "fence" and a cripple shooting attack. The video also covers "ambush attacks" and "match fighting", and how to distinguish between and train realistically for all three.
