WHAT IS KRAV MAGA?
Krav Maga is a military close quarter combat system used by Special Forces and Elite Law Enforcement. Gain powerful self-protection skills specifically for the South African streets. In the process, you will also get fit, get strong and lose weight.
Krav Maga is known for its focus on real-world situations and its extreme efficiency. You are trained to be a human, walking weapon; your prime directive is the preservation of life - yours and the lives of others, in the face of a violent encounter. While we encourage peaceful resolution of conflict, should your life be in danger, you will learn to finish the fight using devastating techniques.
​
Discover how to turn the attacker into your victim! All techniques taught are not based on size or strength. You could be 6ft4 and weigh 120kg, but somewhere out there is someone bigger and stronger than you are and possibly on drugs so that he feels no pain. These techniques will enable you to prevail regardless.
At Storm Combat we are widely known for two things: being a seriously hard-core, no nonsense combat gym, with very friendly people and no egos, lots of laughter and lots of sweat! You can be any age, any fitness level and have no prior experience. A great alternative to normal gym!
WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE MISSED THE START OF THE COURSE?
Our course is structured in cycles. This allows us to accommodate entries throughout the month.
We also structure repeats throughout the course. This means that you will automatically cover anything you missed at the start of the course later on in your course.
WHAT DO I WEAR
Please wear regular gym attire. We work barefoot on the mats so it is best to either wear, or bring along a pair of slip slops. Please do not wear fitness watches, bracelets or chains or earrings that can snag. Bring a water bottle and a sweat towel.

I cannot express enough how amazing my experience has been at Storm Combat! As a beginner with no prior experience in boxing, I was hesitant to join a martial arts dojo. However, after hearing great things about Storm Combat and meeting the incredible head coach Ivana Ries, I knew I had to give it a try.Not only did Storm Combat provide me with an incredible workout, but I was also able to achieve my goal of becoming a boxer in less than 6 months! Ivana is an incredible teacher who is patient, kind, and truly dedicated to her students' success. Her passion for martial arts is contagious, and she makes every class fun and exciting.After training with Ivana and the team at Storm Combat, I was able to enter my first white-collar boxing match with confidence. I was amazed at how much progress I had made in such a short amount of time. The match was exhilarating, and I was able to TKO my opponent after just two rounds! I couldn't have done it without the incredible training I received at Storm Combat.I would highly recommend Storm Combat to anyone looking to learn martial arts, get in shape, or achieve a new fitness goal. The dojo is extremely welcoming and friendly, and everyone is patient and supportive of each other's journey. Whether you are a beginner or have prior experience in martial arts, Ivana and the team at Storm Combat will help you achieve your goals and become the best version of yourself. Don't hesitate - come check out Storm Combat today!

I have found confidence in the lessons I have learnt over the last 6 months that I have been at Storm.
Ivana Ries is a great leader and instructor.
SIYABONGA NDLOVU
In a country where every man should be prepared to protect their loved ones, I wouldn't recommend a better place not just to start, but to stay and keep striving for excellence too.
That's my experience and that's my truth.
Truly blessed to be here.

Storm Combat is the best place to go if you want to learn real life self defense. The facility is amazing, the atmosphere is just awesome.

The training is absolutely top notch. People are welcoming and encouraging. Joining Storm Combat was definitely one of the best decisions.
ADAM
SCOTT
If you are looking for top class, usable coaching you can't do better than Storm!
No time wasted on meaningless, repetitive, choreographed fighting techniques that have little place in the real life scenario. Rather Storm focuses on practical self defence and counter attacks against what you are likely to face in the real world.
Ivana Ries coaches with street defence in mind, at a pace that is easy to follow in an environment that is friendly and welcoming to all. Her knowledge and dedication are unmatched in my view, and she effortlessly combines the best from each style into her formidable Krav Maga classes.
Whether you are an absolute beginner looking to defend yourself, if reqd, in this ever increasingly violent world, or a seasoned martial artist looking to expand or blend your knowledge, I can guarantee you a fantastic learning experience.
Cannot recommend Ivana and Storm enough, no matter what your age, knowledge or physical condition!

I walked into this Dojo bodybuilder strong, but with no fight training. I was nervous about physical confrontation from fights in the past, but I desperately wanted to learn combat sports.This club gave me the opportunity to try multiple disciplines before finding my niche in the Storm Combat Fight Squad. Boxing & BJJ have become my focus disciplines.Head Coach, Ivana Ries, has helped me to see combat like moves and counter moves in a Chess match. Ivana gets her students to think calmly and clearly about what needs to be done, using a problem solving approach to combat. As a fighter, I'm confident in the techniques she teaches because we to put them to the test daily, sparring and rolling against multiple opponents.The comradery between the Fight Squad members is unique to this gym. The team spirit is what motivated me to join the squad and compete.Storm Combat can be credited with training me from base zero and turning me into a weapon.
