Steve Timperley
Chief Instructor & Founder of TSDT

Steven has been practising the martial arts for over twenty-eight year (as of April 2008) and he holds of a variety of self-defence and martial arts instructional qualifications. Also, he is certificated to instruct a diverse range of other subjects relating directly to personal safety and security. Over the years he has amassed a wealth of practical knowledge and firsthand experience relating directly to violence in its various forms.

Steven served twenty-two years in the British Army from 1986 - 2008. He completed seven operational tours of duty, many of which he was employed in specialist roles in often hazardous and hostile environments. After one particular deployment he was awarded a General Officer Commanding’s Commendation for services rendered. During his military career Steven was an advisor and instructor to various military units regarding self-defence, personal security and physical intervention (restraint) training.

To date Steven has appeared in numerous regional newspapers, featured heavily in various martial arts magazines, as a guest on BBC radio talking about personal security issues and on television with some of his students.

Endorsement for his Edged Weapons Awareness course

Steve Timperley is not only a great coach, but he is someone with first-hand operational experience in dealing with these types of situations. He was one of the Army's elite self-protection instructors whose pragmatic approach to training has yielded exceptional operational results.

However, in spite of Steve's obvious exceptional ability and undisputed operational track record, he is a humble and likeable man who has a natural ability to make everyone seem at ease in his presence.

In the current climate of knife crime and knife related deaths in the UK Steve's course is a given. What I like about Steve's perspective on this is his balanced and mature approach to self-protection combined with practical and pragmatic skills that not only work, but ones which have been operationally tested in some of the harshest situations imaginable.

No matter what course you may have been on before, or who you have trained with previously, I guarantee you that you will find many benefits in attending this event.

Please Note: I am available to other instructors, clubs and associations within England (UK) who request in-house (on-site) training. In doing this your overall admin and training costs can be seriously reduced and you could even make money by inviting me to your location.

In-house training also reduces your students' travelling costs and allows you to muster more students to attend a scheduled training event such as a First Aid course, an Edged Weapons Awareness course or a Basic Weapons Awareness & Recognition course (SfS).

Bespoke courses in a range of other subjects including Self-Protection, Personal Safety and Physical Restraint Practice (including non-harmful methods of restraint) can also be conducted in-house.

Thank you for reading my profile - keep safe,
