Train hard. Learn practical skills. Develop Confidence.
At Bristol Titans, we believe martial arts should develop skills that work, not just techniques that look impressive.
Our training draws from several established combat disciplines, combining them into a practical and progressive training programme.
Krav Maga is a modern self-defence system focused on dealing with realistic threats and violent encounters.
Training covers striking, defending against grabs and chokes, clinch work, ground survival, weapons awareness and scenario-based self-defence.
The emphasis is on simple, effective techniques, sound decision-making and the ability to respond under pressure.
Our striking training incorporates techniques and principles from Muay Thai, boxing and other combat sports.
You’ll develop:
This provides a solid foundation in stand-up fighting while developing coordination, timing, fitness and confidence.
Fighting doesn’t always remain standing. Our training also incorporates submission grappling and practical ground fighting.
You’ll develop skills including:
We focus on understanding how grappling works and applying those skills in a practical self-defence context.
Learning techniques is only part of martial arts training. You also need to understand how to apply them against resistance.
Our classes incorporate controlled sparring, partner drills and pressure-testing exercises.
This helps develop timing, distance, reactions, composure and the ability to apply techniques against a resisting partner.
Training is progressive, with intensity adapted to experience and ability.
