Some Testimonials

I cannot recommend Sifu Alasdair Blaikie and Breakthrough enough. If you are interested in learning self Protection then there is no better group of people to train with. I have had the pleasure of being involved with Sifu Blaikie for many years now and in 2012 he became one of my most senior students learning all aspects of Street Combat, Self Protection, etc. as well as internal martial arts for personal development. Sifu Blaikie continues to train with me and together we tread the journey to help people learn to defend themselves and keep their bodies young as they get older through diligent training creating confidence and a new sense of well being.
If I had to describe Sifu Blaikie and Breakthrough it would simply be "AWESOME ! "

I have had the continual pleasure to train under Sifu Blaikie; I initially wanted to improve my stand-up game through the Chinese Arts, later I desired a bridge from my Jiu-Jitsu, which was ‘San Shou’ kickboxing.

I’ve known Alasdair for coming on ten years now, through various different stages of training. Both in the Lau Gar Kung Fu / Kickboxing squad, and my own Muay Thai, he has shared his inspired, insightful mentality. Most recently I was training for a Muay Thai interclub competition, and asked if he’d lend a hand with some techniques and fitness. The session was great – technically challenging, hard as hell, and most importantly, made me look forward to the fight even more, with new ideas and new confidence in my movement.
On top of being a skilled fighter himself, and a great observational and demonstration tutor, Ali is a great lad and a right laugh. Every training session has something new and you always come away with new skills and something hurting, but laughing all the same. "

Sifu Blaikie: Seeing is believing. I have suffered his knowledge of pressure point techniques in both an embarrassing -instantly dropping on the floor- way during technique demos, but also in a healing way, with equally instant effects of relief. His insights as a friend and teacher have always helped me move, expand, understand and ultimately feel strong and healthy, much more in tune with my Self than ever before. I am practicing some Qi Gong techniques, Hun Yuan Gong and beginning Tai Chi. Although I can easily classify myself as a beginner, the effects have already been significant in all levels of my being, be it physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Blaikie's approach is one of a great teacher that can through skill, knowledge, insight and a kind of greater understanding point each different student to a safe and wonderful path they shouldn't miss.

My proudest achievement is without doubt my black sash in Lau Gar Kung Fu, which I know would not have been possible without the expertise of Sifu Ali Blaikie. While there have been many people who have influenced my career in martial arts, no one has had such a positive impact and provided such a wide range of opportunities as Sifu Blaikie. His continued support and encouragement has allowed me to overcome many obstacles during my journey over the past 11 years. His understanding and enthusiasm of the many areas relating to health, self-defence and martial arts are an inspiration to people of all abilities. I would encourage everyone to train with Sifu Blaikie at Breakthrough Combat Arts and gain your own experience of his comprehensive knowledge. This will be all the convincing you need to begin learning his remarkable approach to a range of styles. It has been and is still an absolute honour to be able to learn from and train with an individual of such vision.
