Try a free class5/5 from 110+ Google reviewsThe self-defence class at Octagon Academy Bucharest teaches you what to do in a real situation: how to avoid a conflict, how to break free from a hold and how to get to safety. The techniques come from BJJ, boxing and kickboxing and are chosen to work even for a smaller person or someone with no experience. We have groups for women, adults and teenagers. Your first lesson is free.
What you learn in a self-defence class
How to recognise and avoid a dangerous situation, how to keep your distance, how to break free from a hold or get up from the ground, and how to get to safety. The techniques rely on position and leverage, not strength.
Self-defence for women
The techniques are chosen to work against a bigger, stronger attacker: escapes from holds, simple and effective strikes, and getting up from the ground. You train at your own pace, in a friendly atmosphere.
Self-defence for teenagers
Teenagers learn to set boundaries, avoid conflict and defend themselves without causing unnecessary harm. They train with partners of a similar age, under the coach's supervision.
