NOTTINGHAMSHIRE STICK BOXING
SELF DEFENCE TRAINING
Welcome to the home of the Nottinghamshire Stick Boxing.
We provide the very best instruction in all aspects of self defence training,
giving importance to both the physical and psychological aspects of fighting and self defence.

The Benefits Of Stick Boxing Training
This training is beneficial because it teaches you how to defend yourself against attackers with or without weapons within one cohesive system. The stick is just the training tool to deliver the principles and concepts of real self defence.
Since real-life attacks often involve weapons such as sticks, knives, or tools, training in this way is practical and time-efficient, as you are not learning separate systems for each situation.
It also develops mental readiness, improving your ability to stay calm under pressure and reducing the chance of freezing during a confrontation. This quickly builds confidence, awareness, and quicker reactions in stressful situations.
Training Method
It is our training method that guarantees success by integrating two coaching methods, block practice and random practice.
Block Practice – Benefits
-
Installs basics and structure in the early stages of training
-
Uses a structured numbering system to give clarity and purpose
-
Allows techniques to be repeated consistently, building strong foundations
-
Helps movements become embedded in the mind and body through repetition
-
Develops discipline, control, and technical accuracy
-
Enables responses to become natural and automatic over time
Random Practice – Benefits
-
Applies learned skills in real time under pressure
-
Trains the ability to adapt to unpredictable variables (like a real attack)
-
Enhances timing and awareness in dynamic situations
-
Encourages instinctive reactions rather than conscious thought
-
Bridges the gap between structured drills and real-world application
-
Builds confidence and decision-making under pressure
What makes this training system practical and time efficient.
The foundation of the system remains the same, whether applied with empty hands or with a weapon held in them. The principles do not change — only the characteristics of the tool.
Each weapon possesses its own nature. It may be blunt or sharp, light or heavy, long or short. The angles remain constant.
Defence priority combined with control is a key principle of our training, if you can not control yourself, you will never control the opponent.
By understanding the underlying principles rather than relying solely on the weapon itself, the practitioner develops true adaptability. The hand and the weapon move as one, guided by the same foundation.
It is this consistency of principle that allows the system to remain effective in all circumstances.
