Eircode K45CK00 My aim was to seek out what really works under pressure.

My name is Aidan Carroll and I am the founder of Hard Target Self Defence Systems. Hard Target was founded in 2006 with an objective to teach self protection skills that can be taught to all ages, fitness levels, both male & female. As I say at the start of any class or seminar I teach " I will not teach any technique that I have not successfully used in a live conflict or completely pressure test
