I initially began Krav Maga classes so that I could defend myself if I needed to but I quickly realised that the classes give you so much more - better fitness levels, self-confidence and friends! Everyone should try Krav Maga, you will have great fun and you will be surprised at how tough you really are!!

The instructors know their subject thoroughly and have the essential ability to effectively pass skills on. Classes are great - tough, absorbing and always enjoyable. I've never felt as fit or as motivated as I do now.

Self Defence Dublin run the best classes of their kind that I have ever attended. The classes are structured so that anyone can take part and intense enough to allow people to advance steadily and gain real benefits. The instructors are professional, friendly and encouraging.
Anyone thinking about trying out Krav Maga or learning about self defence would do well to try out this class. The best part about it is that it's a lot of fun.

To date I've been learning Krav Maga with self-defence.ie for about 10 weeks, and KM does pretty much what it says on the tin. You're not expected to be uber-fit, and there are no intricate and complicated Bruce Lee style contortions involved. Each class is a workout which really is second to none (tip: Mr. Waterbottle will be your new BFF!). The training staff are extremely professional and friendly and are quick to answer any question and help out if there's anything you're not quite getting right. As a self defence system, it really does work "in the real world" - after just a few weeks of classes I was confronted by an aggressive individual at a music festival, and I was able to deal with the problem really easily and get away safe. Finally, I've found my fitness has come on in leaps and bounds and the extra few kgs of weight have been falling away steadily. I honestly feel that overall you get much more out of training in KM with self-defence.ie than paying through the nose at your nearest gym.

Easy to understand moves that may save your life or a loved one. Very professionally organized and taught classes by the team. Excellent for core fitness.

Brian Judge

I have background in Taekwondo and various other martial arts, but i have never been trained in a system as effective as Krav Maga. Krav Maga is a holistic, easy to learn, instinctive self defense system. The trainers at self-defence.ie are highly personable and they create a friendly, open environment to train in. They are extremely knowledgeable and their training methods are extremely effective.

Richard Mc Grath

I had not practised any self defence (Bushido) for 17 years so I was a bit apprehensive starting something new. I found Krav Maga to be very relevant from the first class and I find that I have more energy and confidence than I have had for many years!

Michael O'Donnell

Self Defence Dublin's best asset is it's instructors--clear, professional and friendly. The classes are not only an excellent workout but a real confidence builder also.

Matt Byrne

Since starting training Self Defence Dublin I feel more confident in any potential confrontation be it professionally or on the streets. Also, the training has provided noticable improvements to my levels of fitness and balance not to mention the social side, especially since moving to Level 2 and the group size getting smaller.

Lauren Grendon

Self Defence Dublin has been one of the best martial arts schools i have ever attended. It is instructed extremely well by experienced teachers in a clear and concise manner... it is also a lot of fun and perfect for beginners!

Anthony Fernandes

Friendly and caring instructors, they watch over everyone's performance personally without losing focus from the rest of the class and still manage to make the techniques fun and easy to learn.

Erick Sevmont

Self Defence Dublin provided me with an excellent introduction to self-defence and Krav Maga. Their instruction was clear, and they were able to give personal time to each student to ensure that we were all picking the techniques up correctly. The skills taught were both practical and effective and the work-out was second to none. I'll be coming back!

Finbarr O'Mahony

Brilliant Training. It's a real world, practical self defence.

Patrycja Gruszka

The Krav Maga 4 week free trial was well worth it. It didn't pull any punches and highlighted the seriousness of what was being taught, but there was also good banter and I left feeling safer and refreshed both physically and mentally.

Keith Clarke

A very useful course teaching how to defend yourself with controlled/“optimized” actions! I think knowing how to defend yourself is necessary for everyone, although you may never need to use it! This course helped me build self confidence with Edsko and Ray in a very friendly atmosphere.

Atieh Zarabzadeh

I found the training to be excellent and extremely practical. I was also very impressed with the level of personal attention and training each student gets during each session. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family. Thanks again!

Henry Scullion

Great training environment; instructors are highly personable and concentrate on making sure everyone is getting it right, making you feel that you're actually getting value for your money.

Gavin Heaney

Thoroughly enjoyed the lesson. It was well planned and structured with plenty of trying the new moves learned. Drills are a killer! :)

Conor Harlow

The Self Defence Dublin instructors are of a high standard and they cover useful techniques in every class. I thoroughly recommend them to anyone interested in learning self-defence.

Rob McAdoo

Second class of Krav Maga was a good workout! Much more fun than sweating on a treadmill alone!

Vassilis Koutavas

Krav Maga is incredibly practical. Everything you learn has an application and it's all taught very simply and professionally by Edsko and Soraya. I definitely intend to return and will recommend these classes to my friends.
