Hi 👋 I’m Pawel — black belt, certified instructor and your private coach for real-world self-defence.

01 — Why train with me

Authenticity

Krav Maga isn’t a protected name, which means anyone can claim to teach it. Unfortunately, more and more people do — often taking advantage of an uninformed public and, worse, giving students a false sense of confidence through unsafe or ineffective training.

That’s why authenticity matters so much to me.

It’s important to me that I continue learning and pass on genuine Krav Maga to my students. Training under Uri Refaeli makes that possible. Uri was a direct student of Imi Lichtenfeld, the founder of Krav Maga himself. That direct lineage is incredibly important to me — it means what I teach is rooted in the original system, passed down through firsthand instruction rather than reinvented interpretations.

Qualifications

Black belt

Achieving my black belt involved seven years of rigorous, near-daily training, equipping me to teach a comprehensive range of techniques.

Certified instructor

I earned my official instructor certification following an intense, 3-month-long course at Krav Maga Uri Refaeli — the culmination of a 4-year daily training programme.

Trust & safety

  • Enhanced DBS certificate
  • Public liability insurance
  • Health & Safety training

03 — Why Krav Maga

Built for everyone.
Built for real situations.

Krav Maga stands out for its simplicity and real-world effectiveness. It’s not about flashy moves — it’s about instinctive, practical techniques that work under pressure, no matter your size or strength.

The goal is simple: neutralise the threat and stay safe. And if you want to build strength or fitness too, we’ll work on that along the way.

05 — FAQ

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Do I need prior experience?

None whatsoever. Many of my students had no experience with any martial arts. I‘ll ease you in and help you grasp the essentials.

Where can we train?

We can train in your home, office, a public space (like a park) or a private space (like a gym). Wherever you choose to train, make sure you have the necessary permission — a gym, for example, may require a visitor pass.

What do I need to bring?

Comfortable clothing and a bottle of water. If you’d like to include pad work or sparring, bring personal protective gear (boxing gloves, shin guards, mouth guard, etc).

Are group sessions available?

Absolutely. Bring up to 3 friends for £20 each.
