Not every gym or class is for everyone. So we offer all our customers a Free Trial Class option, just to find out if it’s the right fit for you.

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.

Testimonials

“I’ve been trying to get my confidence back for a while after a really unpleasant incident with an aggressive patient a few years ago. I would never use self-defence at work, but knowing it has helped me feel much more prepared for challenging situations, at work and walking home on my own too.”

Tracey

“Going to uni was a really steep learning curve in more ways than one. I had to get used to a whole new city, and was given a course by a worried relative who wanted to know I’d be safe! I’ve not been in any scrapes, but there’s been more than one incident where the training has definitely helped me keep a cool head in some tricky situations.”

Mary

“I wasn’t sure about doing Krav Maga, but my husband signed me up for a 4-week taster course, so I thought I might as well give it a try! Almost a year later, I’m still training every week and I really enjoy it! I find it quite empowering at times and it’s a great stress buster!”

Jo

“Totally brilliant! I was really struggling after getting mugged and was finding it hard to leave the house, even in the day. The mental impact on me was huge, and I needed something to make me feel ready if anything like that ever happened again. Thanks again DSDA. Highly recommended.”
