With regards to martial arts and other forms of combat training, Jeffrey has been involved with the arts for about 30 years. He holds black belts in traditional arts like Hapkido and Hanmudo and is versed in various other forms of martial arts and self defense techniques. His passion to grow and expand his skill base, brought Jeffrey down to Vancouver, Canada in 2018 to train with renowned knife and combat expert trainer Jim Wagner (http://www.jimwagnerrealitybased.com/newsmar222018ca.html) in knife survival, knife expert and also obtained his certification as a Knife Survival Expert Instructor.

What makes JF Self Defense different from other martial arts is that Jeffrey brings with him a wealth of security knowledge and field experience into his workshops / seminars, thus making them more interesting, practical and reality-based.

The self-defense techniques he teaches are simple, direct and applicable. In fact, he believes that if you have to use physical self defense you are in damage control mode. The best self defense is improved self-awareness and to NOT put yourself in harm’s way in the first place so that you are less prone to become a target for an attack or abuse. The next best defense is to avoid a fight. However, when you can’t escape and a fight is inevitable, you need to know how to fight to win

That is why in his workshops / seminars, he emphasizes on learning the soft skills like posturing, communications, distance management, etc. to prevent whenever possible an escalation into the physical / contact stage. He has conducted numerous workshops with multi-national companies, schools, bank, aesthetic company, legal firm apart from the many self defense workshops conducted at his self defense school in Serangoon Gardens, Singapore.
