Guess the dork

Who's this little whipper-snapper back in July 1987?

Yep, it's Club Instructor Tim proudly sporting his first ever Martial Arts belt - a Lau Gar Kung Fu white sash.

Bless him.

Tuesday Gang

Here's a more up to date photo of Tim with a selection of students training in the Tuesday class in February 2005.

Trophies Galore

Here's Tim and Terry with their World Champion giant Matthew Blackwell.

All 3 received one of the highly coveted 6ft trophies, awarded to the end-of-year winners of the 1996 Open Series.

They now make excellent hat stands.

Old Skool Barnet

Guess who's been watching too many Bruce Lee films?

Yep, this is Terry showing off his nunchaku skills, Kung Fu slippers and afro-style hair in November 1987.

He's lost the hair now, but does still wear the slippers.

Bravery Award presented by Prince Charles

It may look like 2 wax-work dummies, but this is the proud moment when Terry was presented with a National Bravery Award by the future King.

While working in a local nightclub, Terry lept through flames to assist members of the public after some nutter decided to petrol bomb the nightclub entrance. Terry also managed to put out the fire before it spread too deeply into the club full of dancing punters.

Alternative sit-ups for the big boys...

This gives you a full back stretch, full range of stomach muscle use, plus increases your balance and team work.

Cheeky Chris and Ryan always finds time during training to pose for the camera

Heads Up

Tim makes contact with a hook kick through 'Big Chris' guard during friendly sparring at the Thursday session (extra 30 mins sparring after the hour lesson if you like!)

Pad Work

Chris hits the spot pads while Terry tries to absorb the blow

Hungry anyone?

When Tim and Terry train in the Blackbelts Class under their Chief Instructor, they have to be prepared to do anything... here they are at WUMA HQ in Cheltenham, attempting to eat fire!

The 'mean look' perfected...

Instructors from the IBU International Bodyguard Union. Besides Control & Restraint Instructors and European Champions Tim and Terry Saxton, you'll also find in this tough-guy line-up: one of Madonna's personal bodyguards during her famous London Hyde Park jog, an ex-Navel Intelligence officer who has also bodyguarded the likes of Clint Eastwood and Princess Fergie, a sergeant in the Special Forces, an ex-Paratrooper and holder of over 100 World Endurance Records, a World semi-contact champion, and a World Judo champion/security Lecturer

Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters!? Really...?
