KRAV MAGA SELF DEFENSE

 

During aggression, only simple, spontaneous, and explosive reactions may save your life, by rapidly neutralizing the aggressor before running away.

In the classes, we cover a huge variety of counter-aggression techniques (defense against neck chokes, weapons, ground tackle, etc..). We teach realistic and easy-to-reproduce strikes and techniques adapted to real violence. We also follow a graduation system for our regular students (grade after exam once or twice a year), with a comprehensive, constantly updated, and complete curriculum, way more modern than traditional KM cursus.

For every Adult, regardless of your gender, age or background. Everyone SHOULD have some self-defense knowledge!

Expect self-defense techniques, real-life scenarios, strikes, stress-test, ground fights, and weapons

Our method is simple, easy-to-learn and efficient. We guarantee results to the regular student.  Krav Maga - translated "Close Combat" in Hebrew - constitutes the core of our teaching. It is the most efficient  and popular self defense system in the world, practiced by professionals and civilians, due to its simplicity and efficacy.

Moreover, unlike another Krav Maga academy around the world, our method explores a huge range of practices and techniques from different systems, accumulating from years of practice, tests and teachings, such as Mastro Self Defense System, Modern Arnis, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu , Pencak Silat and many more, which are still continuously practiced by the founder of the academy. In the street, there is no “better style”. Only surviving matters.

 
Instructor Ben Abbes Jihad has built up a strong expertise in Self Defense for Civilians. He is a reference in the region.

JEET KUNE DO

 

Jeet Kune Do or JKD, “ the Way of the Intercepting Fist “, is a hybrid system and philosophy of martial arts created by legendary Bruce Lee.

Unlike more traditional martial arts, Jeet Kune Do is not fixed or patterned and is a philosophy with guiding thoughts. It was named for the Wing Chun concept of interception or attacking while one's opponent is about to attack while using Western Boxing and fencing as the main influences for the displacements. Jeet Kune Do practitioners believe in minimal movement with maximum effect. The sources of influences of JKD are numerous and certainly consider it the origin of Mixed Martial Arts. The magic of JKD principles is the fact that its principles can be applied in every sport, or system, including in Self Defense.

.The system created by Bruce Lee, emphasizes strikes, trapping, and grappling.

JKD is a perfect addition for anyone interested in Martial Arts or Self defense. Beyond a system, it is a very specific philosophy of martial arts, taught in a dynamic class, conducted by the only JKD certified instructor in the region.

Expect punches, kicks, pad work, displacement, trapping, grappling drills, and sparring.

 
Ben Abbes Jihad has studied JKD under many instructors in the world, and spend a decade with his mentor and instructor Sifu David Bertrand.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

 

Coach Vincent Chow is our in-house black belt Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor. 25 years of teaching martial arts made him a wise and fantastic instructor.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, “The Gentle art”, is a necessary step for anyone, man or woman, interested in self-defense. It is also a great activity for people who love science-based sports!

BJJ is a martial arts and combat sport based on grappling and submission holds. It focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground, controlling one’s opponent, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds. Practitioners wear “gi”, a reinforced set of jackets and pants. But a No-Gi version of the sport exists too.

BJJ revolves around the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger,  opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground, and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them.  

In the street, a huge number of aggressions end up on the ground (rape attempts, assaults, chokes, etc). It is very important for any serious self defense student to have some background in ground fighting.

Expect groundwork, takedowns, submissions, and rolls!

 
 

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - KidS program

 

Our Kid’s Classes are conducted in Group ( 2 instructors ) and in Personal Training (one-to-one)

There is no better gift a parent can offer to his kid than exposing him/her to martial arts as soon as possible. Especially Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

With our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Kids program, we teach your kids to be more comfortable in the uncomfortable and we expose them to situations where they have to use ingenuity, techniques, and control to deal with.

According to us, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is by far the best of all martial arts for kids. It will empower them as no other sport and will teach them humility when it is needed, strength when it is needed, and to fight back when it is needed. The wisdom to know when to stop and the will to keep pushing! A real metaphor of Life.

No martial art has ever made a kid violent. It channels their energy and transforms it into something positive for them. The academy will become their safety garden. They will grow as more confident adults on their mats. And this will shines in all other aspects of their life. BJJ is a real school of life!

Expect games, drills, rolls, groundwork, self-defense techniques and lots of fun!
