FAQ

We have several different pricing schemes. A standard 10 x private lesson course (1 hour per lesson) for one person is £350 (£35 per lesson). A course of the same length for a couple of people is £550. Groups of 3-6 people are charged at £20 per person per hour for a full 10-lesson course (£60-£1,200). One-off lessons and shorter courses can be arranged. Please contact CCMA directly for a quote.

We price these types of booking on an individual basis in line with the exact needs of the client. They can range from short educational talks to multi-day events; vary from training staff in a corporate setting to working with schools to teaching for martial arts clubs, and can be taught locally, nationally, internationally and remotely/online. Let us know what you need, and we will do our best to accommodate you and quote the booking accordingly. Drop us an email to find out more.

This is not a club, as such. CCMA and Jamie Clubb no longer run public classes, but teach private lessons by appointment as well as seminars and courses. These are 1:1, 1:2 or small groups. Private clients also get the opportunity to attend small workshops around every four weeks, where they can meet up in a club-like training atmosphere. Due to this rather unique set-up, CCMA's services aren't easy to categorise. Think of us as a personal trainer, a seminar leader and course leader, depending which service you would like to book. We also appreciate the confusion with "Clubb" part in the time, which comes from the founder's surname.

The CCMA view on these subjects and names is as follows. Self-protection consists of the direct skills required for a civilian to protect themselves (or others) from interpersonal violence. They comprise self-defence (describing legally justifiable hard/physical skills) and personal security (soft/non-physical skills applied in prevention, recovery and underpinning the interception of violence). Think of it as a negative first aid course. Clients train to learn simple and efficient life-saving skills in a limited period of time. Further training should only take the form of specialised bolt-on courses, such as weapon awareness, or as update/refresher sessions. However, the point is a student learns these skills and then goes on to practise them as part of their life. Martial arts is an extremely broad term used to describe various systems of combat used in warfare, sport or self-protection. These systems have continued to change and evolve due to various factors, including changing environments, rules of the sport, modernisation, a desire to preserve the past, the inclusion of philosophies, business, politics, religion and influences directly or indirectly imported from other systems. Whether they are fighting in a war or a sport, martial artists are often training to fight other martial artists. Some martial arts schools have self-protection programmes and teach practical applications for civilian self-protection, but these aspects should be easy to train outside of regular training in the same way as a stand-alone course. Likewise, some martial arts began as self-defence but soon exceeded their remit and became traditionalised. Martial arts are usually activities that can be taken up on a very regular basis for an indefinite length of time; end users are constantly seeking to refine and improve their art. Many practitioners describe their training as a lifelong endeavour. At CCMA our martial arts training is mainly focused on combat sports, although we sometimes draw upon combatives and even traditional martial arts, and they are trained separately from self-protection. The only time they are trained with self-protection is as a means to enhance basic self-defence training – this usually occurs when a client has completed a self-protection course – or when martial arts are being adapted to self-protection conditions – this is part of the Vagabond Warriors programme. Training in certain martial arts (mainly those taught by CCMA) is advised as a great way to supplement one's self-defence skills; however, it is not essential, and context/objective must be understood. So, to summarise, self-protection is personal security and self-defence, taught as a concise and self-contained training course to make people safer from interpersonal violence in a civilian environment. Regular teaching isn't required; the student makes it part of their life. Martial arts are continuous training methods for personal improvement through the vehicle of combat, used in warfare, sport and/or as part of a tradition. Regular teaching is required to continue to improve.
