What People Say about Hard Target SD
I Started training with Aidan and his team to do a quick course and a number of years later I am still there.Aidan’s courtesy and professionalism is second to none. I know from your first class that you will be back for more- the system has no fancy moves and you will learn a lot from it. if you want to learn to conquer your fears or protect those close to you I highly recommend Aidan and his instructors and they will make you a hard target.
I first trained with Aidan in 2005 on a Krav Maga Instructor training programme. He is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled in all areas of self defence, close protection and close combat. He is a gifted instructor that consistently produces results.
Thanks guys for a great weekend. I have to say that I was nervous when I first walked into the gym on Saturday morning. But then Aidan explained to me that this was adrenaline and was glad I had admitted to the group that I felt like this, as he wanted us all the harness this and use it when we strike the pads. I felt Aidan’s talk about body language and adrenaline reaction was excellent. Both Steve and Aidan handled everything very sensitively.
