Protect yourself at all times,
protect your people at all times.
In the office and in the streets, life can put us in pressurised situations. From tense conversations to aggressive interactions, the MOVE system teaches a calm, measured response.
About the course
The MOVE system gives a framework for learning composure in anxiety-inducing situations, from car-park encounters with the unpleasant, volatile and agitated to keeping calm with a dissatisfied stakeholder. Give your people the tools to stay composed, assess situations, deal with issues and exit successfully.

Free consultation
Every course is tailored and bespoke.
Your business is unique, and so is our service.
The MOVE presentation
A lecture-style presentation of the MOVE system, suitable for larger groups. Learn how the MOVE system can help navigate anxiety-inducing situations by exploring two hostile scenarios: an encounter on the way to work with an aggressive, volatile person requesting money, vs a high-pressure professional scenario drawn from your business.
Smaller group workshop
With a smaller group the MOVE system can be applied to a specific business scenario, with a workshop-style approach that includes discussion and more practical learning.
Extended course
A more in-depth look into the practical learning, with a focus on drilling the vocalising of boundaries and setting strong body language. Especially beneficial for bringing confidence to an anxious disposition and helping your people find their voice.
Scenarios built around your business
As part of the consultation we will explore your business needs and tailor the MOVE course for optimal impact.
MOVE works from the boardroom to the backstreets, and the examples we use to learn the principles will reflect your business’s needs.
From customer service to CEO there will always be nerve-inducing situations, and from agitated customer to distressed stakeholder there will always be challenges. The MOVE system helps your business manoeuvre confidently into the future.
Training that fits around your business
We understand the stresses of the business day, and there is rarely a good time to take people off the shop floor. We offer flexible sessions that keep pace with your business.

Testimonials
“The training I’ve had with Adam has really helped to boost my confidence in general and has also motivated me to pursue martial arts further outside of our sessions! I always feel safe and secure when we’re training and knowing that the skills he’s taught me allow me to feel calm and safe in dangerous situations.”
SIA certified security manager
“Adam’s capacity to hold space comfortably, and communicate clearly under pressure is second to none. Learning to emulate that capacity has helped me take my time in high-pressure negotiations, ensuring I get the right deal for me and my people rather than simply closing.”
Former Head of Communications for Bright Blue & Director of Development at StoryFirst
“I had regular one-on-one self-defence sessions with Adam. His primary discipline is Muay Thai, where he has fought competitively but his approach combines elements from many disciplines including Wing Chun and Brazilian ju-jitsu. Adam is encouraging, approachable and knows just how much to push. Sessions with him are a great workout, relieve stress and helped me remain calm under pressure.”
