PRIMAL Krav Maga is not a sport however combat as a whole requires a strong level of both fitness and athleticism to be effective. PRIMAL Krav Maga is to know how to fight to survive a violent life threatening attack. Krav Maga is a Mixed Martial Art that combines Boxing, MuayThai, Judo, Jiujitsu, Aikido and Wrestling principles and techniques under Military context. Armed Combat & Tactics training Knife, Machete and Tactical Baton is included under one coherent fight algorithm.
This makes PRIMAL a school of Striking, Grappling and practical Weapons training for both professionals and civilians. That means you!

TESTIMONIALS
“I have known Ryan for more than 10 years. I feel that it’s a great brag point:-) Our classes have never just been about training and technique, but intuition, vigilance and a curiosity for human behavior. I feel comfortable knowing that being vigilant does not mean being paranoid. Simple observation has helped me to know who I can trust on the street, in a shopping mall etc... and who not to. Our classes involve constantly going back to the basics, to role play, to measured levels of intensity and building to the levels of training. I enjoy the fact that our classes are not gender bias, yet exceptionally safe. Thanks RJD.”
“The best place to start a combatives journey. Coach Ryan has years of local and international experience and is extremely passionate about his craft. He is very patient and easy to train with. Would highly recommend his training!”
“It’s been a couple of years now that I’ve kept up the training sessions with you. I was hooked during Covid. I came out of that so impressed with the changes I noticed .. improved toning, increased stamina and better flexibility. All this for only 30 mins a day, 3 to 4 times a week. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for ‘Boot Camp’. That is what we call it. Even though here is the big surprise I discovered...
- It’s nothing like a full on ‘boot camp’
- The exercises are really doable, but because of the repetition against the clock the benefit
is quickly realised.
- It’s so convenient and short, without leaving me totally wrecked
- Your overseeing and guidance is excellent...without being a ‘bully’. In fact your style is the
glue that keeps me coming back.
- Your sessions are appropriate at every level. From totally unfit to the other end of the scale.
- Great variety and so many different exercises ..never a boring moment.
Thank you big time Zan. I plan to be present for a long time.”
““I view Coach Zan as the changer of lives when it comes to everything health and fitness related. Not only has my body transformed but my views and my approach to staying fit and healthy. Being a busy mom, one does not have hours to spend in the gym when there are deadlines, homework to be done, mouths to feed and bedtime routines to upkeep. Zan has proven that one does not need endless hours in the gym, that in itself is a revelation and my saving grace on a daily basis #saveroflives””
