Nathaniel Peat sensei has almost 26 years experience in martial arts, and has taught several members of the police, security organisations, self defence specialists, and members of the public alike. He has a solid grounding in authentic martial arts with knowledge extending over several styles and systems within Budo; some of which include Ju-Jitsu, Shaolin Kung Fu, Aikido and Kobudo. Over the years he has had the opportunity to train with some of the worlds greatest martial arts teachers. He regularly travels to train with experienced and internationally recognised master instructors in order to develop and grow in the martial arts.

In addition to the traditional arts, he has trained in several other combat based modern systems such as Urban knife combat, Muay Tai and MMA.

One of his major aims is to make a difference in society, seeking to encourage and develop youngsters into achieving and bettering themselves within society. He is the founder of The Safety Box which runs through a wide range of interpersonal courses. Specifically tailored in line with the national curriculum the courses are taught through PSHE/PE/Enrichment/Citizenship/PLTS and Enterprise classes within schools in and around England, dealing with conflict resolution, anti-social behaviour, bullying, confidence building, leadership, motivation, enterprise, entrepreneurship and personal safety.

Within The Safety Box he developed a anti-knife based non aggressive defensive system and is the owner of The Safety Box Gross Motor Knife defence series which to date has been taught to over 4000 young people across the UK. The gross motor knife program, designed specifically for young people that carry weapons out of fear, has a structured training programme in place that teaches young people about the harsh realities of knife crime. The program takes it to a very real level of physical conflict and shows the young people how to effectively defend themselves against knives so that they do not feel the need to pick weapons up for a means of protection.

Despite acheivements made he regards himself as a continual student, seeking to improve skill and ability through intense training. Much of the success and experience he has acheived is due to the amount of dedicated and honest students that he has. They all seek to strive in bettering themselves and have become great role models of what true martial artists should be like.

He is forever grateful to the following teachers who have taught him in his development:
