Why CQSC
Most people never train for the moment that matters most.
CQSC was founded in 1995 by Craig Burman — a Master Coach with over 50 years of experience across Martial Arts, Reality-Based Self Defence and Combative systems. Every session is private, personalised and built around one purpose: helping you become safer, more confident and better prepared for real life.
You don't need to be fit, young or experienced. You need to be prepared.
- 100% private coaching — no shared classes
- Adapted to your age, ability and lifestyle
- No belts, no competitions, no wasted time
- 50+ years of real-world experience
The Dragon System™
PREPARE • ASSESS • RESPOND™
PREPARE
Develop awareness, practical skills and the right mindset before you need them.
ASSESS
Recognise danger, understand your options and choose the safest response.
RESPOND
Act calmly and proportionately — then disengage and get to safety.
A complete personal protection system built for real life — not the gym. Three principles that guide every session and every decision.
