SDF MODERN STREET COMBAT/ SELF - DEFENCE
Welcome to the ASMAA/SDF Self-Defence System. This particular System has been over FIFTY years in the
development. It is based around amalgamations and adaptations of several systems of personal combat and 1000’s of
hours of both practice and study by the Head Founder: Dave Turton 10th Dan and his many loyal and highly skilled
students.
As a complete, total and ‘all-round’ system, there is an equal balance of both the physical and non-physical aspects of
the art of self-defence. MSC self-defence also covers the methods of ‘self-protection’ and ‘personal safety’, methods
that are often lacking in many of the more common martial arts systems and styles.
What is MSC Self-Defence?
In some ways it may be better to ask what it ISN’T, as will become clearer later on.
On the PHYSICAL side, the actual techniques are based on a combination from several sources, all of which have been
extensively studied by the Founder and Head: Dave Turton 10th Dan.
Dave has been involved in the combat Arts since 1961, and as 10th Dan Black Belt is OFFICIALLY Europe’s highest graded
pure self-defence instructor. He founded the Self-Defence Federation (SDF) in June 2000 and ASMAA in 2011 and is a
well respected and highly rated Expert in the fields of personal combat, having taught most of the better-known UK
instructors in this field. There is simply no one better qualified to both Head ASMAA and the methods advocated by it.
Because there is simply no one SINGLE art, system or style of martial art that covers EVERY aspect of realistic selfdefence, ASMAA and Dave Turton used methods from many sources, including (unusually, some NON Oriental methods)
the following systems/styles.
Goshinkwai (Dave studied Goshinkwai from the early 1970’s up to the late 1990’s) … Combat Ju-Jutsu (several styles),
Dave holds three separate 7th Dans in 3 distinct styles of Ju-Jutsu) … Atemi-Jutsu (Dave is a 5th Dan in this Art, which
is the art of nerve and pressure point striking) … Combat Grappling … (this being the combination of the Ju-Jutsu,
some Judo, and many methods from British and European Wrestling/ Grappling styles, and even a few techniques from
Indian Sohal Dhal and Murma Adi Grappling … The UK methods are mainly from several styles of the Old ‘Catch’
Wrestling, the Ancient British Arts of 'PAG' & 'CRAYLING', and the European Arts of CHAUSSON & SAVAUX, two varieties
of French Kicking methods.

Because there are NO sporting applications to the MSC System, there are NO restrictions in its training methods as
such. This is not to say we are overly 'violent' and uncontrolled. In fact the opposite is true. Although the methods
and techniques may appear to be much more Aggressive and 'Brutal', the need for greater restraint and control in
training is greatly emphasized.
ALL MSC Self-Defence methods are geared TOTALLY towards modern 21st century Street Self-Defence & SelfProtection ideals. There are NO defences against 16th Century Japanese spears or swords, no use of Japanese or other
Foreign languages, no GI’s (Martial Arts training suits), no 'bowing' or enforced etiquette. The MSC SELF-DEFENCE
SYSTEM is NOT a traditional martial art in any way, therefore it is not restricted by the confines of the manner in
which traditional methods are taught or practiced.
The emphasis is on developing each INDIVIDUAL to their own personal abilities, based on age, sex, physical condition
etc. Fitness although an asset is in fact NOT a pre-requisite to good self-defence, as if you are unfortunate enough to
be in a self defence situation, the MSC methods are based on getting safe in a very short time. We are NOT training
for 10 x 3 minute rounds, as would many combat sports competitors.
On the THEORETICAL side, the main PRINCIPLES & CONCEPTS of the System are explained and studied. It is ONLY by
intelligent application of these principles; by their PHYSICAL methods that we can hope to best survive violent
encounters. Indeed all the Physical Techniques are no more than a physical application of each and every principle.
These principles are comparatively simple and basic in the early grades, but obviously become more complex as the
students progress.
Each actual GRADING SYLLABUS will list both the PHYSICAL TECHNIQUE AND THE MAIN PRICIPLES REQUIREMENTS for
that Grade.

COMBAT JU-JITSU
Studio Combat Academy’s Combat Ju-Jitsu System is based around amalgamations and adaptations of several
systems of Self-Defence and Personal Combat. However, it is not merely a ‘best bits’ martial art, It is a
combination and all round system developed by Dave Turton 10th Dan over 50 years. Because there is no one
single art, system or style of martial art that covers every aspect of realistic Self-Defence, the Combat Ju-Jitsu
System uses methods from many different sources including (but not limited to) the following systems/styles:
Goshinkwai Yawara Ryu, Several Ju-jitsu/Judo styles, Atemi-Jutsu (nerve and pressure point striking), Combat
Grappling, British & European Wrestling Styles, Indian Sohal Dhal and Murma Adi Wrestling, several styles of Old
English ‘Catch’ & Lancashire Wrestling and several kicking arts including kickboxing and Savate.
The system although from very traditional roots, is evolutionary in its process which means it is always revisited
and revised, moves forward to accommodate today’s violent society. The principles remain the same but the
techniques may change.
Although the system is not truly traditional and is geared towards modern 21st century street self-defence and
self-protection ideals, we still have several traditions we keep in order to protect the system’s roots but also to
ensure we are training safely, are respectful of one another and to develop discipline in ourselves not only
when we are training but also in our everyday lives. We train in GI’s (Ju-Jitsu training suit), barefoot, use a
coloured belt ranking system, bow before stepping on and off the mat, to our Instructors and to one another
before we practice or Randori (free sparing) and use the occasional Japanese word. However we are not here to
learn Japanese, we are here to learn to defend ourselves in an ever increasingly violent society.
As the grades get higher a certain amount of personal freedom is allowed on the grading. This is to
accommodate individual’s choice and you will notice on some of the grades it will say ‘Any Finishing
Technique’.
You will learn from a variety of instructors to give a depth of knowledge and to try different variations of
technique most suited to yourself. Seminars are held to further your knowledge and we invite some of the top
instructors in Self-Defence to our academy. There are no ‘clones’ in the Combat Ju-jitsu system.
It is important to understand what really makes this system unique, isn’t just the techniques and methods but
the understanding of Principles, Concepts & Applications. Technique is almost secondary to the application of
the main principles.
7
Classes are based on some fitness/stretching warm up and warm down plus pad work, Technical demonstration,
partner work and Randori (free sparring). The techniques shown on the syllabus are for grading purpose’s and give
each belt level a structure to work towards and to be tested on, however, different techniques will be shown in
class and some are not required or cannot be demonstrated effectively on a grading i.e. eye gouging, throat
striking etc.
The grading must show technical ability and control but we must also learn to be aggressive and brutal should our
life be threatened.
There are obviously some techniques that cannot be used in sparring or competitions etc. but can and must be
used on the street.
COMBAT JU-JITSU GRADES
Note: The techniques and drills shown within this syllabus are the general requirements for each grade. Some
elements may be varied at the discretion of the instructor/grading officer in order to test the abilities of the
student. The syllabus exists to ensure each student can demonstrate an understanding of a range of techniques
and principles. The grading is split into areas all of which are a requirement on each grade.
Grading’s are held approximately every 3 months. There are a minimum amount of hours required each month
and an overall amount between each grading.

ASMAA KICKBOXING
Kickboxing is a term used for many stand up martial arts that developed around the world, which include Muay
Thai, Savate (French Kickboxing), Full contact Karate, Japanese Kickboxing (K-1), Kyutooki (Korean Kickboxing),
Sanda (Chinese Kickboxing) and Bando (Burmese Kickboxing).
The common theme with all the arts is they use a gloved (boxing) fist hand technique similar to western style
boxing; mixed with kicking techniques and other striking weapons such as the elbow and knee. Clinching, sweeps
and throws are also allowed in some Kickboxing style matches.
The ASMAA syllabus was developed for Light Continuous Kickboxing, Full Contact Kickboxing and Japanese
Kickboxing.
Full Contact Kickboxing and Light Continuous
Full contact Karate (American Kickboxing) was developed in the 1960’s by Joe Lewis and allows hand and foot
techniques above the waist, striking is done with the hand and foot only. The first US World Champions at the sport
were Joe Lewis, Bill ‘Superfoot’ Wallace and Jeff Smith. Other rules developed by Kickboxing organisations also
included sweeps, throws and ‘low kicking’. Light continuous fights take place on either mats or in a ring with the
objective being to win a fight by points with the ‘contact’ being controlled.
ASMAA Kickboxing syllabus has been designed as a complete martial arts system with hand and foot techniques from
Kickboxing, Karate, Taekwondo and Muay Thai.
The ASMAA Freestyle Kick boxing syllabus has 8 Coloured belt grades and 7 Dan or Black Belt Grades as follows:

GRADING INFORMATION
Grading Fees:

Brown/White, Brown

Cost £
£20.00
£TBC (in front of ASMAA/SDF panel)
•
Despite the minimum hours trained or the minimum time being reached, you are only able to grade if the
instructor(s) feel you are able to successfully pass the required standard. All candidates who meet the
criteria will be given an ‘Invitation to grade’ letter. If you do not wish to grade on that occasion please
inform the instructor(s)
•
On the grading it is your effort and individual capability that is being marked. You are not being compared
to others. Factors such as age, sex, size, strength, health all come into play. As long as you give it your best
and don’t give up you will be marked fairly.
•
Do not try to compete or show up others in the grading and do not copy what others are doing. If you
believe you are right then show that. If you copy another student who gets it wrong then you to will also get
it wrong.
•
You must not help out another student who is grading; it is not your job to instruct them. You can help by
holding the pads correctly, attacking correctly and by being courteous and respectful to their ability.
Anyone deemed to be seen or heard instructing others will result in failure of your grading.
•
Sparring is done at light contact/controlled power and is not an opportunity to show how strong you are or
how hard you can hit. Marks will be deducted if the level of sparring is too hard or on ground sparring, if you
try to deliberately injure another student.
•
Black belt grading will take place in front of a grading panel and will consist of several grading officers
including Dave Turton 10th Dan from ASMAA
•
Each technique is scored between 1 – 5 with 1 being low and 5 being high. A mark of 3 on any technique is
considered ‘reasonable’ and is the minimum pass mark. A lower mark than 3 means that more work is
needed in that area. A higher mark indicates you have a good understanding of technique and principles.
Note: on higher grades the pass mark is higher; therefore your overall average score needs to be higher.
•
You will be graded on your performance on the day. If you have an injury or feel unwell then you must
inform the instructor(s) immediately. If your temporary illness/injury is considered serious the grading
officer has the right to cancel your grading and the grading fee will be carried over to the next grading.
•
All grading fees are to be paid no later than 1 week before the grading date. There are no exceptions and
any candidate failing to do so will not be permitted to grade until next time.
All grading will take place at the Studio Combat Academy & Martial Arts Centre, Westgate Long Eaton NG10 1EF
unless specified otherwise.
