All you need to train are some comfortable clothes, jogging bottoms and a plain t-shirt.

What is it?

The Street Fighting Academy (SFA) is a martial arts body under which the Dragon Fist Martial Arts System is taught. It is divided into two programs, the Street Combat System for adults and the Self Defence System for children (up to 15 years of age).

The system taught is a combined martial art consisting of Japanese, Chinese, Pilipino and Thai martial arts with western influences. It has been developed by the head instructor after having studied these individual martial arts for over 17 years with some of the best martial artist around today.

Through years of training, dedication, commitment and a deeper understanding of these various martial arts, the head instructor felt it necessary to develop a system that was pertinent in today’s environment.

By combining the most effective elements of these martial arts, the DFMAS delivers a training program that is not only traditional in its values but modern and effective in its application. True to the essence of martial arts, it not only develops you physically but also focuses on the mental development of the students, as the arts always intended.

Dragon Fist Street Combat System

The adult syllabus is geared towards the harder side of the martial art and focuses on achieving results in a short space of time. Although we work on the mental development and the psychology of combat, this is really developed in the senior ranks. Through the training up to that stage, we focus on your physical development, to get you the results you need.

Street crime is on a rise and years of training to achieve results are not viable option anymore. Our system will give you usable results in a short period of time by developing your confidence and skill set whilst significantly improving your physical abilities to protect yourself and those close to you.

Dragon Ninjas Self Defence System

The children’s program focuses on the softer side of martial arts which sets the foundations for their eventual entry into the adult program. It is geared more towards their physical and mental development, by learning the techniques in a fun and engaging way. We achieve this by teaching them positive values such as respect and kindness, while teaching them to be aware of their environment and how to handle situations with controlled aggression.

By breaking down the techniques into their simpler elements the children learn to grasp these skills as they would a language and through practice it becomes second nature to them. This way the body and mind develop in sync allowing them to apply these skills and deal with situations with intelligence rather than mindless aggression.

The SFA does not promote or condone violence and thus teaches the importance of respect and patience. Bullying and street violence are every parents worst fear and the SFA places this at highest importance. We teach our children to not only how to defend themselves against such instances but also why they should avoid engaging in such behaviour and the importance of anti bullying. It is our aim to develop well rounded, well mannered and confident Dragon Ninjas, through hard work and commitment.

The Dragon Fist Martial Arts System is an adaptive art; it gives you the tools to adapt to a situation you may find yourself in. It covers all fighting ranges, long range, close quarter, grappling and multiple assailants, whilst covering weapons, pressure points and advanced techniques at the senior grades. The effectiveness of all this training is continually tested through sparring drills, one on one and group drills, giving you all the opportunities you will need to continually develop.

Self Defence

With the rise in physical assaults and knife crime the need to defend oneself is ever more present. The objective of the SFA is to provide all of its students with an effective self defence program that can deliver the necessary skills needed to be able to defend themselves in an ever increasingly unsafe environment.

We are not here to develop cage fighters or any other sport orientated art, our objective is to deliver a self defence system that works. By providing you with the necessary skills so you can go about your lives safely and content knowing that if ever needed, you can protect yourself effectively and confidently and that is what the SFA prides itself upon.

For everyone

We understand the different needs of our students, which can range from a fun recreational level, improving health and fitness all the way up to complete self development through the entire system. Whatever you wish to focus on; we will be with you throughout your training, through our comprehensive syllabus and innovative training methods to help you reach you goals.

We look forward to seeing you at the school very soon.
