Reviews from people who attended our martial arts & Krav Maga self defence classes

The Self Defence Academy

Great self-defence classes. I started a few weeks ago and It is great fun! I felt welcome straight away. Our instructor, Jack, is an excellent teacher who introduces lots of new techniques every week and makes the class good fun too. He ensures to motivate you and pushes you to your limit. It is an ideal training ground to get fit and learn self-defence.

Jack’s classes push you but don’t break you. He has a very enthusiastic attitude which rubs off on to the students. Each class ties in to what was learnt the week before. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. So glad I joined!

I came to know Jack as a highly skilled instructor who can draw upon a huge treasure of professional experience without losing track of the fact that the best training is also supposed to be fun. That said, he also stands out as a caring, decent, and trustworthy human being. I think very highly of Jack and recommend him strongly without any hesitation!

Excellent self defence training from one of the top Krav Maga clubs in the country. Instructor Jack is both highly skilled and very friendly, taking particular care of beginners. Classes are a blend of fitness training and detailed techniques, including the very latest updates from Israel, and ensure that all students go home feeling that much stronger, fitter and safer each time. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Highly recommend this self-defence class! Jack is a fantastic instructor, pushing you to get the best out of yourself. I’ve been to self-defence classes before but this is by far the most practical, useful self-defence I’ve learnt. This class prepares you for real life situations. You’ll improve your fitness feeling like you’ve had a great workout at the same time as learning valuable self-defence from the best teacher! Jack is also a recognised Krav Maga Global Instructor so you know you’re learning from the very best!

Jack is a great teacher, very supportive attentive, friendly, makes the class a great experience. He efficiently teaches really good Krav Maga self-defence techniques, very practical and designed to give skills to everyone, regardless of their physical skills or strength (which however grow over time!). Speaking as a woman – I cannot think of a better club and self-defence style. What ads to the experience, is that everybody is trying their best and there is a great team of fellow students. Definitely worth trying!

Jack ran a private self-defence workshop for 9 girls in my garden. It was FANTASTIC! The girls learnt so much and the workshop was extremely well structured. Book him – you won’t be disappointed!!

Jack is a fantastic teacher and already in a short time I have learnt a lot and significantly improved my skill. Techniques are built upon carefully before expanding them and starting to put them into practice in a scenario. Very friendly and welcoming community who are willing to help you with anything.

Great martial art classes! I moved to Oxford recently and was looking for a martial arts school to keep fit, build up strength, learn skills to defend myself, and take a break from daily work. I took a trial class and found it a perfect fit. The class is very friendly and welcoming. Jack is a great teacher. He is very professional and knowledgeable and he really cares for his students. Each class is an enjoyable experience, full of fresh air, laughs, and a lot of sweats while learning some serious skills that could be used towards practical self-defence scenarios. I am very grateful that I joined!

Brilliant coach. My son, 11 years old is waiting excitedly for Monday & Wednesdays to come to the trainings. The workouts are physically and mentally empowering. Training is a tool for a better quality life. Jack has a wonderful approach to children and he knows exactly how to promote each child accord to his needs. I highly recommend.

This is a friendly and welcoming club that’s both suitable for beginners and more experienced students. Lessons are always fun and engaging. Jack is a great instructor who is both affable and professional. The classes are well structured and include detailed explanations and breakdowns of techniques, plenty of opportunities to spar and practice and a good workout. Highly recommended.
