Self-Defence For Real Life
our comprehensive self-defence system
At the heart of our approach is Krav Maga, the simple and instinctive fighting system employed by the Israel Defence Forces, chosen for its extreme efficiency in real-life situations.
Combine this with specific techniques from other martial arts, such as the hand-speed from boxing, the range of kicks used in Muay Thai and the grappling holds of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, to give you even greater skill.
Time in each session is given to fitness training, to develop your strength, stamina, co-ordination and balance, so you can apply the techniques effectively.
The final ingredient is our extensive ‘pressure testing’. By showing you how to cope with adrenaline rushes, face-to-face combat encounters and unpredictable real-world environments, we make sure you feel ready to react no matter what life throws at you.
Why is DSDA right for me?
We offer mixed classes in person and online for a wide range of age groups. All our live/onsite classes take place in our purpose-built, air-conditioned and fully accessible training academy using ProGuard Armour, specially designed by us for Krav Maga training, to help you get the most out of every session.
Many of our students want to rebuild their confidence after a bad experience, or prepare themselves for challenges they may have to face. Whatever your age or ability, our classes can help you:
Build your self-confidence and resilience under pressure
Improve your fitness and strength
Feel mentally and physically prepared for any challenge
