Black Onyx is designed to expose participants to the mindset, discipline, and standards behind special forces training. Guided by former UK Special Forces operators, the objective is to test physical resilience, mental robustness, teamwork, and decision-making under pressure, using real methodologies drawn from elite military operations.
This is not a demonstration. It is structured SF training, adapted for civilians in a controlled and professional environment.
Participants are led by a team of former Special Forces operators through a series of immersive, scenario-led exercises. These missions are designed to replicate the pressures of elite military training, testing leadership, communication, and adaptability in real time.
Training may include planning exercises, decision-making under stress, and SF-style training scenarios that demand teamwork and clarity when fatigue and pressure are high.
The Black Onyx experience can run over one, two, or three days, depending on the programme selected. Training is delivered primarily across Dorset and London, with the flexibility to adapt locations where required.
Each day is structured, progressive, and demanding, ensuring participants are challenged safely while gaining a genuine insight into civilian special forces training in the UK.
Black Onyx is built around the principles that define UK Special Forces training: teamwork, discipline, and performance under pressure.
