From DenThanks to all who have posted their impressions so far, keep them coming.
Each guy made his individual Mind-Map during the NBI Program....
........ the walls were entirely covered with them.
Here's Marcus with some of the guys at the hotel after the Friday training

The 4th International combatives seminar in Liverpool:
I’ll make my contribution as short as possible and hopefully also easily readable, leaving the details of training, technique and historical review to those who know it better than I. Here are some of my collected inputs...
Views and comments from the Swedish Lynx:
First, I have to start off giving my thanks to Dennis (a true Leader and Teacher), for having me on such short notice and to Marcus for letting me join in as a guest on his NLP course. I have to say that I have rarely met two such gentlemen and with your kind of experience, still so humble and kind! Thank you very much for letting me embark on this journey.
In general:
Well, I have to say, spending 5 days in a crowded room full of sweaty guys in t-shirts working out – mustn’t it be a dream coming true, to any girl!?! Drawing my breath inhaling the steaming, raw, testosterone filled air from the stress drills certainly did me good! LOL
It’s rare to meet so many experienced instructors, very well into their subjects. I was happy to notice that although this was my first combatives seminar, I didn’t have any trouble training the drills I participated in - and I found it very easy to learn the basics needed to do so.
Marcus contributed an important part the first two days preceding the combatives seminar. It made my experience complete. I’m a firm believer in the importance of “soft skills”, allowing the subconscious, “intuition” or “gut”, play a leading part in self protection as well as in professional contexts. It’s definitely not all about technique, size or gender! It was amazing to see everyone taking it in and trying it out, first as students and then some as instructors at the International – and seeing, feeling, the obvious positive effects of the training! A reflection of mine is that - it’s interesting that visualisation and emotion are obvious parts of training musicians and other performing artists, as well as in sports, but still it has a hard time getting acknowledged in the fighting community! The effects are undeniable and it’s benefits incomparable.
My firm belief is that the training I got this weekend is of a quality that is rarely seen or practised, neither for civilians or professionals involving Mind, Heart, Body and Soul in the art of human self protection.
A big “Thank You” to All attending - students as well as instructors.
See Ya!!! I’ll be back…

A quick note of appreciation to Den, Marcus and all others involved in presenting and attending this excellent seminar.
The whole event was outstanding from start to finish and the opportunity to work with such incredibly impressive yet humble people as all of those in attendance I consider a privilege.
I'd just like to add my thanks. The programme gave me a great deal to think about. It was a privilege to attend.
Thanks again.

Quick one to say many thanks....I was privileged to be on this course and I appreciate we received some very unique training, we're a lucky bunch. I'm still digesting the stuff in my head.....awesome!
I said nice stuff about you on the other thread Marcus, you can't have it twice

I think that Sandbag weighed about as much as me.
Also it was after I had the experience of flying through the locked door of that storeroom and being battered from Pillar to Post by the guys.
Some seriously good matirial was presented here and like James i'm still digesting it - big thanks to Marcus and Den for running the programmes.

At various phases the group was split for syndicate tasks.
The above syndicate were tasked with developing a drill to teach time distortion.....which they did, brilliantly........
by putting Si [ a non-shooter] through a complex target-identification/speed drill
