Unfortunately, for people who lose their source of income or find themselves in a transitional time of economic vulnerability, it often is. What's worse, is that they're also the ones who statistically need self-defence skills the most.
We want to do something about that, so we've launched the "Self-Defence Is A Right" or SDR Program.
For a nominal membership fee, we open up the gym to everyone in the SDR program anytime they want to train for an unlimited number of classes. Participants can come to any striking, fundamentals, Sambo, or Mixed Adults classes, any time they want, as many times as they want.
It's our way of giving back to the community, and living our mission: to empower as many people as we can with skills to keep themselves and their loved ones safer.

knowing how to defend YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES is a right everyone should have access to
Here are the facts…
- The latest data from the ABS indicates 2 in 5 Australian adults had experienced violence since the age of 15 and rates of domestic violence are rising
- Research conducted by Good Shepherd and Roy Morgan, found that post-pandemic, 2 in 5 Australians have experienced negative employment outcomes because of the pandemic
- A UNSW study for the Commonwealth Bank’s (CBA) Next Chapter program found that financial abuse frequently occurs alongside other forms of intimate partner violence
- Financial vulnerability is statistically linked to an increase in the risk of being a victim of violence, and women and minorities are the most vulnerable demographics in this group
- The average price for a self-defence class is more than $20 per hour, making learning self-defence an unattainable skill for vulnerable members of the community
When things are tough, difficult decisions need to be made and access to a gym that offers self-defence classes seems unattainable.
We don’t want anyone to have to choose between learning to protect themselves and paying the bills.
The average weekly membership fees at self-defence gyms are well over $50. That can be difficult to manage.
As prices have been rising, COVID has up-ended many, events like the bushfires and floods have made balancing finances more and more difficult.
We are launching the SDR program with the hope that it goes some way to helping bridge the gap between access and need.
realistic and effective self defence
Tactical. Efficient. Proven.
Krav Maga is composed of three pillars: self-defence, fighting skills and tactics, and 3rd party protection. In other words:DEFEND - FIGHT - PROTECT
Krav Maga is a practical and realistic system that teaches how to avoid, prevent, deter or deal with all types of violent confrontations no matter who you are. Adapted for the unique needs of women, children, and teenagers Krav Maga can help prepare anyone - young or old - for a confrontation we all hope won't happen to us.
NO SENSEI or MCDOJO HERE. JUST THE REAL DEAL.
In the real world, there are no rules. Your attackers won't fight fair. You don't get to choose an attacker of similar size, strength, and skill level to you. You won't be given gloves for the fight.
We'll teach you techniques to give yourself the best chance of going home safely in any situation.

Students say
Was new to the fighting style so went in with no knowledge aside from its origins, and am proud to be one of its members!
My confidence and feeling of self worth has improved immensely from training and learning this system of self defense.
If you’re looking to start learning Krav Maga, willing to get fit, make friends and work hard, SGS Krav Maga is the school to be in!
Nathan M.
Since starting with SGS Krav Maga, I’ve felt my confidence improve, my strength increase and thanks to the amazing instructors, I’ve already begun building a toolkit of self-defence techniques to feel safer in everyday life.
Highly recommend this gym to everyone, especially women who want to feel stronger, safer and more capable!
Korina S.
SGS Krav Maga teaches an effective, real-life based self-defence system with a strong focus on safety in training.
The instructors observe for and deal with inappropriate behaviour or aggression on the mat.
In addition, the gym caters for women in their women’s only lessons, with a focus on self defense and workshopping techniques against much larger attackers.
Classes are on nearly every day of the week with flexible payment options – cheap when you consider how highly trained all the instructors are!
If you’re looking for real Krav Maga this is the school for you.
