Peter Consterdine
Peter is a 7th Dan Black Belt in Karate and a former Great Britain and England Karate International. With over 36 continuous years of martial arts training behind him, Peter has made self defence a lifetime study. A former British Full Contact Champion, Peter also spent over 10 years working as a doorman in night-clubs in Manchester, England. In addition to Karate, Peter has studied most martial arts, in particular Wing Chun, which study took him to Hong Kong, where he trained privately with Ip Chun.
As a professional Bodyguard and Operations and Training Director of his own specialist Risk Management and Security Company (Chase Consultants Limited), Peter works around the world on Close Protection operations. His book 'The Modern Bodyguard' has become the seminal work on Close Protection.
Peter's unique skills are in bridging the gap between the physical skills of martial arts and self protection and the specialist corporate security world. It is this unique combination of talents and an ability to bring an intellectual contact to what is often seen as purely a physical art form, that makes Peter stand out from the crowd.
Through his writings, articles and teaching, Peter has become recognised as a world authority on his subjects.
