Organising a Seminar

If you would like to host a seminar with Chris then the process is really straightforward.  Simply Contact Him to discuss a proposed date, venue and topics.  Chris charges a single fee for his time, which means that as the host, you can maintain full control, plus any profits gained will be yours to invest in the development of your group!

Once all the details have been discussed and agreed, Chris will send out relevant information, promotional material and any photos upon request so that you may advertise the event well in advance.

On the day of the seminar, Chris will arrive with plenty of time to spare in order to meet personally with you beforehand.  He is also more than happy to stay for a short period afterwards in order to answer any final questions or queries participants may have.
“The feedback received from Chris' seminar was incredibly positive. His teaching methods are extremely profound & comprehensive, not to mention, very interesting and practical!” 
- Kenneth Abela (President Malta Karate Federation).

Private & Small Group Training Options

In addition to teaching regular classes and seminars, Chris is also available for one-to-one private training and small group workshops (typically under ten people) as either an alternative or to supplement specific training regimes.  Details and costs vary depending on individual requirements, but to really learn and absorb something in depth - there really is no better way.

Chris prefers to teach in a 'personal' environment since it more closely reflects traditional values and means that a great deal more time can be spent concentrating on specifics and making sure that the training closely matches the individual's objectives and goals.

Please note that due to Chris's workload throughout the year, not all requests for private or small group training an be fulfilled and it is strongly recommended to request these events well in advance.
