Lee Morrison had to learn how to defend himself the HARD WAY...from being the bullied new kid at school to working some tough doors at UK night clubs. In the end, Lee was forced to abandon his "traditional" past for a never-ending journey into the science of "urban combatives" when he was attack by two men outside the Belsize Park tube station in London and learned that his traditional training wasn't sufficient for the realities of the street!

Lee's subsequent journey into finding a fighting system that would truly allow him to defend himself in a REAL street situation let to training in many different systems from such origins as Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Filipino weapon systems, Western boxing and Wrestling.

All of his newly acquired skills were put to the test when he started working as a pub and night club doorman where he dramatically escalated his "learning curve" through real defensive scenarios.

Ultimately training in Western Combatives of the great hand-to-hand combat instructors of WW2, Lee focused on areas such as the concepts of being pre-emptive, training for impact and learning all he could about the adrenal response.

All in all, Lee's path can be summed up by one of his favorite quotes...

Thirty seconds on the sidewalk is worth three years in the dojo.
