“I have trained with john for years and I never fail to learn something new from him. John’s positive outlook and youthful attitude always inspires me to greater achievements in my training. You too can benefit from john’s vast experience”

Robert Howden; Multi faceted black belt martial artist, boxing coach and S.I.A. security operative.

"Having already been attacked once, I am attending the John Skillen's Pentagon program course to learn how to defend myself in the sort of situation that I faced and that can occur without warning in real life. Right from the first session it was obvious that John has put together a series of techniques that are both simple and easy for anyone to use whilst still being extremely effective, even in pressurised situations. John's presentation skills and good humour also help to keep the course flowing and, combined with the friendliness of everyone involved in the sessions, make it an enjoyable way to learn skills that could one day protect you or your loved ones. I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone."

Paul Turner; Operations Manager


Regardless of which martial art you study whether you’re a beginner or more advanced or whether you have any experience at all, the pentagon program© will give you the correct attitude, skills tools and ability enabling you to defend yourself if the need arises.

The program incorporates pre-emption (the right to strike first). The five knockout effects and how to achieve them in the split seconds of an altercation starting. The psychological effects of violence, the law, fear control and stepping into the void and much, much more.

Forget age or gender, anyone and I mean anyone with the ability to listen take in information and perform easy to learn skills will immediately improve their chances of avoiding or winning in a violent confrontation.

Learn the five knockout effects you can administer in your defence or the defence of others.

This explosive fun course is delivered over five sessions and when completed will give you over twenty hours of first class instruction certified by John Skillen a man that knows real violence and the futility of it.

John Skillen is a guiding light in the world of self-protection and doesn’t rest on his laurels - he continues to study unarmed close combat. He says; “learning about   violence has helped him understand and get inside the mind of the attacker.” 

John wishes to pass on his knowledge and skills to you and give people of all ages gender and lifestyles the skills to protect themselves.  John is a respected martial artist with over thirty years experience in various arts. He is a trained bodyguard and venue security expert spending years dealing with violent thugs and troublemakers.

He is a multiple black belt holder, former national judo champion and is qualified to coach and teach boxing, judo, kung fu, kickboxing, and wrestling. He is a certified, fully insured self-protection coach with one of the worlds leading self-protection organisations; The British Combat Association.


Street effective© seminars are on average 4 ½ hours long with short breaks to keep you refreshed and relaxed to help you accelerate the learning process.

You learn skills and drills, which are easily, retained. What you learn you don’t forget. Street effective© seminars are delivered over five different seminars.  This gives you time between seminars to develop techniques for yourself.  You learn how to deliver powerful kicks, punches, slaps, elbows, knees, a broad spectrum of techniques for you to take away and develop whether your skilled or just starting out this program will expand your repertoire and knowledge in a very short time.

What matters most is your own personal development; your goal to learn as much as you can. Absorb the information. The outcome for you will be your ability to protect yourself and others. You will have your very own self-protection program.

During the seminars you will be looking for the availability of any one of the five knockouts the pentagon program© offers.

Brain shake-disorientation-strangulation –suffocation- C.N.S. Shock and trauma.

"Before the seminar started Mr. Skillen took a short break from training some of his students to come and shake hands and introduce himself to us and the other participants of the seminar. This really impressed me since a lot of guys of his “calibre” and reputation –regardless of style or discipline- never would do such a thing… This nice gesture really dissolved any “fears” or “tensions” if there’d been any before the seminar started…"
Erik S. Sweden

"I have met a few world-martial artists and top instructors in my life but John’s friendly appearance, vast experience and the willingness to share it with everybody put him on my “Top 5” –list."
Erik S. Sweden

“I’ve never felt so confident John delivers the goods everytime I train with him.”
Paul woolly, IT worker, Northampton. England.

"His experience is beyond the realms of normality. John taught me valuable lessons both psychological and physical, which sent my confidence and understanding of violent conflict soaring."
Robert Higgs author and anti bully expert.

"A knockout specialist."
Geoff Thompson B.A.F.T.A. winning author and world-renowned martial arts teacher.

"My training with John allowed me to look anyone in the eye and be on equal terms, not a victim as I felt before. I have become mentally a stronger person through my training."
Caroline steans; mother, martial artist and businesswoman.

"John’s Teaching has built my confidence to such heights that I’m now breaking new ground in my life it just keeps getting better and better. His self-defence training has given me greater awareness. I now know fear and how to control it and I know where I stand in life and the fact that I do matter."
Danny Rennocks, Car body repair specialist

John teaches a variety of techniques taken from the arts he has studied. Including muy Thai, Karate and military combatatives.

He says; “Its all there In the kata’s, sets and forms, you just got to know how to apply it in a real situation taking into account fear of consequences and the psychological control your attacker may excert on you”.
