Today, the first event was held at the new BFD training centre.

Thanks to the Covid crisis, the launch of this new Britain First facility was delayed by over a year.

Today, our security officers were shown techniques from Krav Maga, Aikido, Jiu Jitsu, wrestling and several other grappling disciplines.

All of the training was defensive in nature.

Party treasurer Timothy Burton (below) is a black belt in Aikido and the assembled volunteers were surprised by the effectiveness of the techniques he demonstrated.

After the training ended, those assembled held a relaxing social complete with a barbecue.

We will be holding these training sessions on a regular basis.

The full video report will be posted over the next few days.
