MORE THAN JUST KICKING AND PUNCHING

The best self defense?

You might think self defense is about learning cool martial arts techniques to neutralize an aggressor.

It is.

But it's so much more than that.

Here are just some of the critically important skills we teach in our self defense training:

  • How to develop automatic situational awareness - which means you learn to anticipate threats, read situations, and avoid the bad guys before they can get to you.
  • How to use your voice, body language, and smart psychology to deter an aggressor - or to defuse a high-risk situation.
  • How to learn the most effective physical techniques, as quickly and efficiently as possible.
  • How to overcome fear and unfreeze if you're faced with a crisis.
  • How to utilize everyday objects - and your immediate environment - as highly effective self defense weapons if you have to.
Our goal is to equip you with what works, quickly and efficiently, without wasting your time.

You don't have to be in any kind of shape, either, or have any particular level of physical ability. That's the whole point of practical self defence. We adapt our system to you, to your unique needs and context.

It's that simple.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

Confidence, newfound ability, and genuine skill, for starters.

You can't become a doctor in just a few hours - but you can learn CPR or first aid. Learning self defense is the same. It takes years to become truly proficient, but you can learn key techniques  - and become surprisingly capable - in a very short space of time.

And in an unforeseen crisis situation, those key techniques are what will save your life, or enable you to protect your loved ones.

A QUICK WORD ABOUT PURCHASES AND PAYMENTS ON THIS WEBSITE...

Payment gateway iconThis website uses PayFast as its payment gateway. PayFast is a trusted payment gateway with more than 80,000 merchant customers, and it enables us to price our videos in South African Rands (ZAR) as opposed to US$.


Because we're based in South Africa, that makes sense - and for our overseas members, it means you pay far less than you usually would for the same thing in your own country. The South African Rand is not a strong currency, with around 19 South African Rands to 1 US Dollar on average. (So, when you see a video priced at R199 on our site, in reality, you'll only be billed for around US$10 on your card).

The Payfast gateway accepts most cards and banks, but if you do experience any kind of problem during checkout, please just pop us a quick mail at des@edakravmaga.com, and we can provide you with an alternative payment option if necessary.
