You should come to classes in comfortable street wear or gym/training clothing. You will be moving and need to be comfortable. Please don't wear clothing with hoods, or hanging ties that can become caught or torn. You will need to remove all jewellery and watches before class. We ask you to tie long hair up out of the way.

Boris has depended on his skills and expertise having served internationally with military special forces. Boris is also an internationally certified boxing coach and has competed in amateur MMA.
Do I need to be fit to attend the classes?
Our self defence classes are not fitness classes. A base level of fitness will help you apply the techniques effectively and we do recommend regular fitness and agility training to improve application of the techniques.
If you would like fitness boxing or personal training please Register for Personal Training Sessions.
Will I be learning martial arts?
No. Our classes are not martial arts based. You will be learning practical techniques that can be applied in real situations. You will be disappointed if you come to our classes to learn how to fight someone as we focus on the defensive aspect. Some of techniques/movements are taught in patterns that will work together to disable your attacker. A lot of the movements use momentum rather than strength.
