We train in small group sizes so you don't get lost in a large class setting. We like to ensure all participants get personal instruction.

Our intention is to share our knowledge, understanding and empower you to find your super powers in a fun and safe environment.

We base our program on the techniques of Krav Maga, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling.

In this program, we will teach you how to neutralize the most common attacks ranging from having your hair grabbed to being pinned to the ground.

Each focus point addresses different applications for your skills. You can start the program at any time and learn at your own pace. Unlike most self defence systems that rely heavily on strength, speed, and coordination, the techniques in our program employ leverage, technique, and timing, so anyone, regardless of age or athletic ability, can make them work against larger opponents.

Our self defence style is about using what generally works for smaller framed people so it's perfect for all body types.

Here's Exactly

What you'll discover

How to throw strikes that will be effective

You will learn exactly what hand strikes to throw depending on the height of attacker and what positions will give you the upper hand.
How to throw powerful kicks to disenable your opponent

Learn when it's safe to throw a kick and when it's best to focus on stance. We cover what kicks to throw and when to throw them.
How to escape from common grabs

What would you do if someone comes up behind you or grabs your arms or your neck? We uncovered the most common attacks and how to defend against them.
How to defend against common weapons

We always say if you see a weapon, RUN! We all know that weapons are dangerous but what can you do to minimise damage and put yourself in the best position to get away.
The power you hold in your own body

Sometimes, we can get stuck into thinking about how vulnerable we are without knowing exactly how powerful we can be. It doesn't matter if you're small or tall, you can stand strong and have the whole world witness your power within.
