Defensive Kombat Krav Maga

It has been superb training with Dean. His knowledge and expertise and teaching methods has made me more confident and continues to do so as I grow and learn with every lesson taken. I particularly enjoy the real life situations (simulations ) he puts you under and the solutions given to defend yourself and walk peacefully. I recommend him to anyone wanting to take self defence classes. Thanks Dean - Fabio M

I have been a member of Defensive Combat Krav Maga for over 2 years now. Dean runs a friendly, realistic approach to self defence. You don’t need any experience and he lays things out in simple effective way. When you start learning the ways of Krav Maga with Dean you realise how under prepared you actually are for real life situations.It’s not about beating people up it’s all about street awareness. All the other members are friendly and help new members. The classes are fun and you get a good sweat on. Prices are fair and there is flexibility.I would highly recommend anyone from any age or fitness level who wants to be more prepared for that crazy world out there to give it a go.

Been attending Dean’s personal training sessions since July 2020 now and could not recommend highly enough. Flexible personal training sessions that fit around a work schedule is very handy for busy people. The work is tough and the training can be painful, which is the point! I’m enjoying it, I am motivated to keep at it and I encourage anyone who’s thinking about fitness and a self-defence focussed martial art without the frills but with the adaptability, to speak to Dean at Defensive Kombat Krav Maga. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I started training with Dean back in mid 2020. My interest was gun and knife defence as I work in some difficult places and wanted some basic skills in case something not great happened while I was on the road.Dean is a martial arts nut. He lives and breathes his work and lives and breathes the successes of his students. His attention to detail is meticulous and of that conditioning is a significant part of what he teaches. Preparing one’s mind and body for real life should it ever occur.Dean has schooled me across a variety of disciplines during my time with him. Krav Maga. Wing Chun. And then general sparring also which I have found invaluable. His gun defence is some of the best I have encountered anywhere and I have studied that in Australia and overseas.Many people get hung up on belts but the real benefit of the martial arts is the lifestyle it teaches and the journey of successes and failures along the way.If you are into martial arts for the sake of belts then Dean is probably not your guy. But if you are into the martial arts to learn self defence and gain some serious life lessons then I would thoroughly recommend Dean.

I started training with Dean initially intending to do PT due to my long break from martial arts and my age (mid 40s) after a couple of lessons Dean convinced me to join the group classes and I’m glad I did. Aside from leaning self defence skills for a variety of real life situations you are also taught to try to defuse and avoid conflict as a first step. Training is physical with a good mix of cardio and strength but also sparring (opt in and with protection) which will really build your self defence skills and confidence from week 1. In my few months my fitness levels have increased and niggly ailments have disappeared. You will occasionally walk away with a bruise or two from conditioning but you will come back stronger and fitter. Highly recommend.

Been training here for a couple of months now and have thoroughly enjoyed every aspect and have learnt so much already about self defence against armed and a armed attacks. Dean is friendly and highly knowledgeable in martial arts and everyone who trains here is very welcoming and friendly too. Highly recommend Defensive Kombat to anyone looking to learn practical self defence in a friendly environment.

I started going there as an alternative on my purchase to fitness and to be more active, and I'm so glad I did. The evening group classes are amazing, and everybody there has such great energy. The sessions are very instructive, as they teach us self-defence techniques for real situations you could potentially face at the least expected time. Not to mention it is a wonderful way of exercising as well. On top of that, Dean (the master/teacher) is extremely experienced, professional, and a great motivator that always incentivizes the students to go that extra mile to get the desired results. Honestly, I'm very impressed by my experience there, and I couldn't recommend more!

1st I'm going to start by saying this is a great academy to attend to.I have learned a lot attending here. At the beginning.... after say 3months it gets repetitive.Dean the instructor can be shown as a kind, gentle and respective being until he expresses his frustration" of a fellow student behind their back. and then proceeds to do childish

Came across this place on Gumtree, I was already at another club in Perth but found them really unprofessional and more interested in doing sit ups and star jumps crunches and press ups! don't get me wrong you need to maintain a good level of fitness but half the class was exercising and not much time for actual Krav Maga. So thankfully I found the ad, Dean is the model professional and the club and people are very friendly which I think is helping me learn quicker. I joined in May 2015 and already on my way to my blue belt, he also does private PT lessons if you prefer to train that way.

The classes are well structured with a good balance basic drills, conditioning, self-defence and combat over the 1.5 hour session. Membership fees are affordable and the classes are conveniently timed throughout the week. Dean is a knowledgeable and professional instructor who is approachable and welcoming to new members.
