Practical self-defense training focusing on real-world application
The entire team, led by Etienne, are highly skilled and passionate about what they do. As an individual, you receive practical / usable skills from your very first session. Classes are demanding and on point, exactly what is needed to build this particular skillset. Can't recommend them enough.
Real-world expertise you can trust. Spent 3 months in Cape Town and joined TRUEKRAV. It was even better than I expected! Even as a total beginner with only one session a week, I gained so much value. You can truly feel Etienne’s passion, and it’s obvious that his knowledge is forged in real-life combat and high-risk situations. This isn’t just theoretical martial arts; it’s practical, life-saving skill. The sessions are structured in a clear and progressive way, making it easy to build up your skills. Most importantly: I feel much more confident and safe in my daily life after these three months. Etienne is not just a world-class professional, but also a genuinely cool and friendly guy. You learn serious skills while having a great time. Highly recommended!
I have trained in many martial arts over the years, and I can honestly say this is by far the most effective and realistic self-defence training I have ever experienced. The techniques focus on practicality and real-world application, not showy movements. As a female, I especially value training that acknowledges the realities of defending yourself against a larger and stronger male opponent. This system works. Ettiene is an excellent instructor, knowledgeable, patient, and focused on building genuine capability rather than just theory. The training environment is supportive and challenging in the right way. I have seen clear improvements in my confidence and ability to protect myself. If you are looking for self-defence that actually works in realistic situations, I cannot recommend this enough.
I trained at TrueKrav for two years and it was one of the most valuable training experiences I've ever had. The self-defence techniques are realistic, effective, and taught in a way that truly prepares you for real life situations. Etienne is an exceptional instructor- Knowledgeable, intense and deeply committed to his students. Training is done under high-stress conditions, which builds both mental toughness and physical endurance. You're pushed beyond your comfort zone in the best way possible. This is not a "fitness class" pretending to be self-defence. You learn to stay focused under pressure, protect yourself and respond decisively when it matters. I left each class feeling stronger, more confident and better prepared for any situation. Highly recommended to anyone serious about real self-defence. The online training resources were also extremely useful when I could not attend classes in person, allowing me to continue learning and reinforcing techniques. If you are reading this trying to decide whether this is the right place for you, I can honestly say you'd be doing yourself a favour by giving it a try.
We had an incredible self-defence session with Etienne at Truekrav! The training was practical, engaging, and empowering—everyone walked away feeling more confident and better prepared. Etienne’s knowledge, professionalism, and passion really stood out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for effective, real-world self-defence training especially as a group class for your employees. Lula will definitely be coming back!
