What They Say About Training With Russell

Having practised martial arts for 40 years and studied self-defence as a police officer, door supervisor and close protection officer, I believe that Russell Stutely is the most knowledgeable and competent instructor I have had the pleasure of training with. His techniques are effective, based on sound principles and taught with a degree of humility and humour that is rarely found in the martial arts community.

Russell is able to transform your life along with your martial arts, self-defence and sport skills. He is probably, with his mentors Rick Moneymaker and Tom Muncy, one of the most innovative martial artists of all time. The martial art science he will expose you to is priceless. Most of all he is a top coach and a good man with a bright sense of humour.

What can I say that hasn't been said already? Russell Stutely is without doubt the most knowledgeable martial artist I have had the pleasure of training with. After 26 years of karate it all makes sense thanks to Russell. Brilliantly simple applications of technique that will work every time.

I tried a DVD. Then a course. And then trained with Russell directly. I have never looked back. I learnt more in two hours with Russell than in the last 25 years of karate.

If you want to understand pressure points and their application, go to the best source in Europe: Master Russell Stutely. I have trained with Russell on many occasions and can tell you from my own experience that he is the real deal.

I have many of Russell's DVDs and they are the best training aids I have found in 25 years. I have trained with Russell and qualified as one of his pressure point instructors. I have studied Aikido for 25+ years and his centre lock is the best I have felt!

I have bought almost every one of Russell's DVDs and I have had the privilege of training with him several times. I have never been disappointed. He is a brilliant teacher, an incredible martial artist and a real gentleman.

Since I met Russell I enjoy my martial arts training again. He opened doors which have shown me there is a lifetime of learning ahead. I recommend Russell's approach to any martial artist, anyone looking for self-defence, and law enforcement professionals.

Russell is a true expert in martial arts. He talks the talk, but unlike others he walks the walk. He is a proper gentleman in every sense of the word, and I hold him in the highest respect.

Russell has a way of simplifying information that gives you rapid understanding and clarity, without all the bullshit!

Russell does a great job of breaking down the hard-to-understand concepts of pressure points and how the body works into a syllabus that anyone can learn. A+!

I had the good fortune to train at HQ once. An amazing day that really opened my eyes. A total professional in every way, and he deserves all the recognition he gets.
