Self-defence (definition): is a countermeasure that involves defending the health and well-being of oneself from harm. The use of the right of self-defence as a legal justification for the use of force in times of danger is available in many jurisdictions, but the interpretation varies widely.
Our world is beautiful, but can also be very dangerous. Everybody would have encountered a threat or an attack at some stage of their life. Some more than others; some never lived to tell the tale.
We enable everyday people to defend themselves. No man should be threatened or attacked; no woman should be assaulted or raped; no child should be abducted or bullied.
Anyone can become a fighter... defined [a person with the will, courage, determination, ability, or disposition to fight, struggle, resist, etc.]
We help everyday people understand the weapons they posses within; how to use them; when to use them; but more importantly, train with a sense of realism to become effective.

Hebrew for Contact Combat, Krav Maga is globally recognised as the leading self defence system. It teaches life-skills to help prevent, avoid, deter and deal with violence. Governed by principles, Krav Maga is taught in a unique and comprehensive manner born out of the environment it was developed under in Israel. Practitioners gain knowledge in self protection, situational awareness and combat skills. At Life Athletes we teach our mixed classes in small groups of 4. It enables us to maximise learning whilst maintaining personal attention. Learn more...
Children between the ages of 5-8 years old should enjoy their physical activities. The more fun they have the more they learn. Just like learning how to cross a road safely, we believe self-defence is an essential life skill that must be nurtured from a young age. It isn’t about serious training, but learning what’s important through play. Learn more...
Playground bullying and youth violence are more common during the ages 9-15. That’s why our junior programme focuses on building confidence at an age when innocence starts to erode and the reality of everyday life threats begins to hit home. Parents and teachers cannot be there all the time to offer protection. We help our students develop the necessary awareness and skills to keep themselves safe. Learn more...
