Still Not Convinced...?
  • There is no other Martial Art more street and battle-tested than Modern Defendo - "MD"
  • It is what many international agencies including the FBI, DEA, Navy Seals, Commandos, SAS and local law enforcement agencies teach.
  • MD has a long and credible history and is regarded by many to be the best self-defense system around. We know MD works and it works under severe conditions. All MD techniques are tried and tested in real-life situations.
  • When you learn MD you can rest assured you are learning techniques that are proven to work. MD is quick to learn and easy to retain. MD has no sporting applications.
  • It's high energy, easy to learn and students adapt quickly to MD, which teaches fast, instinctive, and natural responses to the threats they are likely to face from an attacker. This is not a martial art, but an easy to learn, structured self defense system originally developed in the 1920's as a Police system for dealing with some of the world's worst criminals.
  • Elements of fear are introduced into the class so that students will learn to deal with the fear they might experience in a street altercation. Taught at an exhilarating pace, students are encouraged to keep going when they are tired, which adds to both the fitness and realistic aspects of this civilian combat system.
  • It is our belief that everybody, no matter what age, weight, gender or body type, has the right to defend themselves and their loved ones.
  • The practical nature for the techniques makes MD easy to learn and easy to remember!
  • The techniques and philosophy behind the program are based on the belief that students already possess the ability to defend themselves.
  • The appeal of MD is the lack of rituals, such as bowing or other types of formality. We deal with reality. It's not based on any 5,000-year old system. It's based on what happens to people today on the streets when they're attacked. Modern Defendo has attracted students ranging from housewives to special forces personnel to others looking to expand their martial arts expertise.
  • Our Course is designed to very quickly teach normal people how to protect themselves.
  • You already have what it takes to successfully defend yourself - Let us show you how!
