Our training programmes

Adult Classes

A fundamental principle of self-defense is prioritizing personal safety. In the face of an attack, the primary goal is to avoid injury. Simply taking a defensive stance is unlikely to deter the attacker, so it’s essential to respond decisively and assertively to neutralize the threat effectively.

Junior Classes

Many parents choose martial arts programs like IDefend Kids to help their children build essential life skills. This exceptional class instills confidence, focus, respect, and self-control in young learners. This section is dedicated to helping you maximize the benefits of Krav Maga training for your child, providing insights on how to support their journey and become an informed, engaged martial arts parent.

Corporate Initiatives

Our goal is to empower your staff by strengthening both their mental and physical resilience. Whether they rely on private or public transport, they will gain the confidence and skills to effectively manage any situation they encounter.

Education Sectors

IDefend is committed to empowering students at all levels—primary schools, high schools, colleges, and universities. Our proven track record reflects our dedication to developing and equipping the next generation with valuable self-defense skills. Contributing to the growth and resilience of young minds is both our passion and our pride.

Other Courses Offered

We provide Anti-Hijacking Seminars that focus on practical strategies for situations where physical engagement with an attacker is unavoidable. Additionally, we offer a specialized Rifle & Shotgun Disarmament Seminar, available upon request, designed to equip participants with the skills to handle high-risk scenarios involving firearms.

Anthony is knowledgeable about Krav Maga and has the ability to impart that knowledge to his students, no matter what their age. Anthony is responsible, honest and reliable. I trust him implicitly and am quite happy to leave my girls aged 12 and 10 in his care.
