Apex Self Defence

About Apex Self Defence

We offer a range of techniques in our classes, private training, and corporate and group training, including: Striking and sparring — Attacks typically start with someone throwing a punch, so learning how to defend your head and body and how to counterstrike are important skills to develop. Our training incorporates established combatives such as boxing to train your striking. Your defence also needs to be stress and pressure-tested, which is where sparring comes into play. Sparring is practiced in a safe and controlled training environment to test your reflexes and defences.

Sparring is practiced in a safe and controlled training environment to test your reflexes and defences. Chokes and holds — Another common form of attack is the use of chokes or holds. Being able to react quickly and effectively is key to surviving these attacks. We train you to use the correct techniques that become muscle memory through consistent training. Weapons defence — Most homicides and attacks that occur in Australia involve weapons, which tend to be knives or sticks. We train you in techniques to defend yourself against these close-range and long-range attacks. Some weapons can be concealed until the second before they are used, so reading body language and assessing threats before an attack are just as important as the techniques after an attack has started and are incorporated into your training. Groundwork and grappling — Sometimes attacks can end up on the ground. Our training program uses techniques from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and grappling to get you back on your feet. Multiple attackers — Assaults that occur on the street can escalate quickly and can turn into a multiple attacker situation. Our training includes movement, avoidance, initiation, and escape to minimise injury. Risk of serious injury increases as time passes, so it is critical to secure an advantage and escape as soon as possible. Fitness and conditioning — As with martial arts, Krav Maga and self defence training has a strong physical aspect. Most self defence situations need you to react quickly and explosively, so high-intensity training as well as strength and endurance training will improve your chances of getting out of dangerous situations. Through consistent Krav Maga and self defence training, your fitness and conditioning will improve. If additional fitness or conditioning is an area you feel you want to or need to improve, we can develop a training program to help build your strength, speed, and cardiovascular endurance. Travel — If you are travelling to an at-risk area, or if you feel like you need to develop some basics of self defence training before travelling, we can create a program to cover as much material as we can before you travel. Consistent training over a long period is always the best approach to training, but if you are pressed for time, a crash course can provide you with some fundamentals to ensure you are safer while travelling. Depending on your destination, certain techniques are more important to cover than others and we will focus on the most common attacks in the region you are travelling to in the first instance. We recommend you visit the Australian Government Smart Traveller website, which provides regular updates, information, and advice on safety while travelling. Third-party protection — As we become more skilled and confident in our abilities, these skills can be used for the protection of others, whether it be our friends, family, loved ones, or even strangers. We train awareness, movement, and techniques to shield or prevent harm to others. Whether you’re acting in your capacity as a civilian or as security, we can train you to keep others safe from harm.
