"Ive had the good pleasure of teaching Chris Turnbull on several occasions in the art of reality based street combat ..I can definately vouch for him by saying he is more than capable in teaching techniques in this field to a very high standard, he's a very knowledgable individual in real street confrontation scenarios having worked in the security industry for more than fifteen years in some of the roughest establishments in the east of Scotland.. Train with this guy, he will aide your awareness in real life street combat.." Willie Scott |

Jason Simpson - Cage Fighter: 
"Chris Turnbull's vast knowledge is reflected in his ability as a real world self defence/fight instructor, especially as a doorman of which Chris has 16 years experience.
Having trained with Chris on many occasions and worked with him in many licensed premises in and around Edinburgh, I would have no hesitation in reccommending him as an excellent instructor in reality based street defence and adrenalin/fear control.
Chris is undoubtedly a professional instructor of which i would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending to anyone wishing to learn from to further their street combat/defence skills or to employ in a professional capacity to look after any aspect of their business or personal security."

"I have known Chris for a good few years now! He's a pretty sound bloke, the guy knows his stuff. I've been out to a few of his fights and trained with him for a good few years… He's a strong lad with some good explosive punching power!!"

"I have known Chris for a few years now and have trained with him on several occasions. 
Being an MMA practitioner, a lot of our
skills are transferable to street self-defence however Chris teaches these techniques in a ‘real confrontation’ scenario.
I have never worked alongside Chris in the security industry but have trained with him in various MMA sessions that include stand up striking and more importantly, submission grappling and wrestling. It is these techniques that Chris teaches in a real street self defence situation.
Being a professional MMA/cagefighter and British Middleweight Champion, I can vouch that Chris has the knowledge and ability to
pass on the techniques/skills necessary to survive on the streets and see the ‘danger’ signs that can help avoid danger or
confrontation.
Chris's system is the 'real deal' and if its street stuff your looking for, go and check him out!"

I have known Chris for only 2 years but in that time his knowledge of, and ability in, REAL WORLD SITUATIONS has impressed me greatly. Having myself worked as a soldier, doorman, police officer and close protection officer i have undertaken various training courses aimed at restraint, arrest, and self preservation. The common denominating factor in ALMOST all of these courses was that the techniques required LOTS of practice and assumed that the student is calm prior to, and during, violent confrontations.
Any one with even half a brain knows that unless you work in an arena where violent confrontations are commonplace then these courses are simply unrealistic and a waste of time.
Chris has 17 years of experience of real life confrontations due to his work as a door supervisor. He also has 3 years experience of mixed martial arts (MMA) MMA being in my opinion, the closest legal form of ‘real’ fighting.
I haven’t worked directly with Chris but i have trained with him (and learned from him!) and not only is his knowledge and ability sound, but he also has the ability to pass that knowledge on, and the experience to know that what he teaches works! The latter being something many ‘instructors’ are lacking!
One word of advice though, if you are looking for someone to give you a false sense of achievement/security, or to blow smoke up your arse, Chris is not the instructor for you!
Good Luck, Train Hard and FIGHT EASY
