Doshi Garth Barnard 4th Dan Black Belt - KyukTooKi - CMAA Founder and Chief Instructor of Reality Based Self Defence Organisation
Garth Barnard began training in 1981 and during that time has studied Judo, Boxing, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Kickboxing and Combatives. During this time Garth studied Taekwondo (ITF TKD for 12 years) and attained the rank of 1st Dan Black Belt, competing in Regional and National Championships and enjoying many podium positions for Sparring, Patterns and Demolition/Destruction. Garth's achievements include 3 times British Middleweight Sparring Champion and 3 times British Demolition/Destruction Champion. It was during this time that he worked as a Door Supervisor (Bouncer), gaining valuable self-defence and self-protection experience.
In October 2003 Garth founded Reality Based Self Defence Organisation to teach KyukTooKi (Korean Kickboxing) and Combatives to create a Reality Based Self Defence System. Garth launched Reality Based Self Defence Organisation as a non-political organisation, committed to delivering cutting edge tuition in Self Protection & Self Defence, Conflict Management, Street Combat, Sport Orientated Fighting, Fitness & Stamina.
Garth's relentless pursuit of Reality Based Self Defence saw the research and development of padded body armour worn in training allowing the use of force, by the 'victim' (defender), to reach full contact without resulting in injury to the Instructor (assailant) wearing it. The full suit of padded body armour, including a purpose built helmet, is known as the Tuff Guy™ suit. The Tuff Guy™ suits have progressed on to being a very important learning tool and are used in-house and on external Self Protection and Self Defence courses run by Reality Based Self Defence Organisation.
In March 2004 Garth attained the Rank of 2nd Dan Black Belt in a 5 hour Cobra Martial Arts Association Dan Grading held at Dukinfield, in front of a Grading Panel of 11.
Since the foundation of Reality Based Self Defence Organisation Garth has continued in his relentless quest to further is own education in self-defence and self-protection by regularly attending courses, seminars and Private Tuition.
August 2004 saw Garth join the Self Defence Federation (SDF) and in July 2005 Garth passed his SDF Instructors Diploma Award.
Garth was promoted to 3rd Dan Black Belt after a Cobra Martial Arts Association Dan Grading held at Dukinfield in August 2006. At around the same time he was awarded the Teaching Licence of Doshi (Senior Full Instructor) and also obtained the privilege of Honorary Senior Yap Suk Dai Ji (Discipleship) within the Molum Combat Arts Association.
In August 2007 Garth hand-picked 9 of his students to participate in a Combatives Instructors Program, with view to formalising his existing Self Protection and Self Defence courses. The Combatives Instructors and Garth continue to present the Defend You™ Program to a wide variety of clients wishing to gain valuable life skills in Self Protection and Self Defence.
May 2009 saw the start of Fight Club , a no-nonsense, hardcore Combatives Club. The Fight Club is a stand-alone group that meets weekly to train in all things Combative.
In June 2010 a further 6 Combatives Instructors joined the Defend You™ team headed by Garth. The popular Defend You™ Program's success continues to this day.
In July 2010 Garth was promoted to 4th Dan by Cobra Martial Arts Association and continues to actively train and teach.
