EVENT REPORT
involving a military martial art and a very
different – axe throwing!
We were given a number of different
axes and a wooden target to aim at, and
shown the various methods of safely and
accurately throwing an axe. It’s harder than
it looks, if you were wondering!
The final part of the day started with
a lesson in surveillance and the type of
equipment that can be used. These ranged
from normal surveillance cameras right
through to cameras the size of a 5p piece.
Then finally there was a self-defence lesson
experienced Instructor.
I was pleased to see that there was a
good even mix of both males and females
attending the day, and also that many were
couples that had come along for a bit of a
laugh (but I suspect walked away having
learnt a thing or two!).
The average group size is around 12
people but this can vary from as little as six
up to 24 people. The ratio of instructors to
students means no one is left to their own
devices at any time. This also means that
people are always busy and not sat around
waiting and getting bored. All the lessons
and areas you go to are very hands-on and
you are actively encouraged to get stuck
in and ask questions. Even after the day
had finished the instructors were happy to
stand around chatting to the people that
had attended and all the instructors are
very experienced in what they teach; most
of them come from either a military or
police background.
I know that this is just a snapshot but I
hope it provides a good insight into what
Spy Games do. It was a new experience
to me and I must say I found the staff to
be thoroughly professional and friendly,
and they answered all the questions I
had. If you fancy trying something fun and
enjoyable, but slightly out of the ordinary
(you might even learn something too), Spy
Games is well worth checking out. ■
