strength is forged.
Forge strength, resilience, and peak fitness through modern self-defense and combat-based training. With Krav Maga, boxing, kickboxing, BJJ, and Filipino weapons tactics, you’ll build practical skills to protect yourself and those around you.
Self defense is a mindset
Self-defense goes beyond techniques—it’s about forging awareness, adapting to any situation, and protecting what matters most. Through Krav Maga, BJJ, boxing, kickboxing and Filipino martial arts, you’ll learn to stay calm under pressure, act decisively, and build the skills to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
— Elsa B
“Krav Maga taught me to handle anything—whether it’s dodging punches or navigating SF as a young woman. After 8 years, I’m still here for the practical, no-nonsense training and the supportive community.”
