ABOUT MASTER Michael Polydorou

INTERNATIONAL COMBAT RANKS

I have been security checked and I have completed instructors courses in all of my arts, I hold all my certificates and have been cleared to teach children, women’s self defence and police seizure and arrest training, as a civilian I have worked for the British government as a civil servant and hold controlling stakes in several IT companies and security companies as well as law firms in Europe.

My background is in business consulting and security advising .I have a healthy IT understanding and devise these simple web sites to explain my arts and services so that any one can view them not just those with broadband hi speed internet.. This is a hobby for me not a business; I have many friends in the military security field and police research and training fields.

One of my aims in the martial arts field is to provide around the world communication and creative thinking patterns to benefit all practitioners.

My martial arts background and history

I have studied tae kwon do to black belt ,wing chun to instructors level ,Ju jitsu and grappling /judo and Japanese weapons, Thai boxing to  instructors level ,knife , machete and ESCRIMA as well as fire arms and security courses with the Steve web consultancy a body guard training consultant for fire arms training ,

I have studied wing Chun for over 15 years and aim to have masters rank ,this is my base style and the art in the core of my own system i am to constantly redefine this system to the students and keep the art of wing Chun going for the next generation. I teach this only privately

SINCE 1994 I have researched and train with three core components ,Thai boxing for striking ,bjj for grappling and krav maga and military ju jitsu ,these components give me a huge arsenal over most for self defence and sports combat under standing ,i will never stop this thirst for knowledge. and self development

I have taken part in training for Brazilian ju jitsu and mixed martial arts tournaments and no holds barred contests with good results and enjoy training and practising these elements with members of the Greco roman Cyprus team,my own students and i intend to carry training ,possibly fighting again before I hit 40 in 2011

The aim of the above arts and the common ground is I can give students a understanding of close range combat , for most people this means stopping an attacker ,responding with in law and escaping ,for others this can mean arresting the aggressor or worse , I cater for all and I believe that I can provide all of these services

My aim and promise

I have an aim, that is to give my students and members of Close Quarter Reality Based combat group access to the best information and training drills and prepare them for any situation ,throw training as well as specialise training seminars and reality days  whilst also bring over  my instructors and other world experts in this field regardless of their organisations ,we are in the midst and being recognise by the European police federation and specialise units for their future training programmes .
