The Morrison brothers Pete & Pauls website... Self-Protection is based on simple principles, which include basic Self-Defence skills. But these skills alone will not save your life – it is your mental attitude and determination, your Mettle that will ultimately determine whether you survive a violent encounter.

This blog is my platform for what I've got on my mind at the moment with regard to the martial arts. I haven't got time to manage comments, so these have been disabled.I have numerous videos on You Tube and a complete website. This blog will be for more informal writing.

You would think that our growing spirituality as a species would have erased the need for books/tapes/instructors and web sites on the art of self-protection. Unfortunately it hasn't. Well, not yet anyway. In fact, I would say that it has gotten worse. With this in mind, I would say we all need to understand at least the basics of self-protection. An unpredictable society such as ours demands no less. That is why Matthew's site and his no-nonsense method of teaching are both very welcome.

Since coming into the public eye late last year there has been an overwhelming interest in the Core Combatives concept, leading to the need for this project. Essentially Core Combatives (C2) is just a simple and truthful perspective regarding real personal physical conflict, and represents a dynamic vehicle for the ‘hard’ skills required to actively counter real threats to your person – C2 presents certain solutions for certain problems, without aesthetic or sporting compromise.
