KRAV MAGA

MUAY THAI
Muay Thai is a fun, fast-paced martial art from Thailand which combines fists, elbows, knees and shins to create one of the most effective striking systems in the world. Training will leave you feeling stronger, more confident and empowered.
BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a self-defence martial art and combat sport system that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. By using energy efficiently along with the principles of leverage and momentum it helps people overcome size and force with technique.
CAPOEIRA
Capoeira combines elements of traditional martial arts and African-Brazilian dances with the quick-witted dodging of boxing. Fast footwork, acrobatics, music and dance are all part of the performance that makes capoeira such a unique fighting style.
BOXING
Boxing is about confidence, discipline and respect for yourself. We help you learn the techniques of boxing, including punching and footwork, to increase your fitness, strength and stamina, as well as your ability to protect yourself on the street.
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS (MMA)
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a combat sport that incorporates striking, clinch fighting and ground fighting. It utilizes the most effective elements of boxing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, karate, judo and other sports.
