A Police Academy For Civilians

C.O.B.R.A. is NOT a traditional martial art or a military style combat system!

Think of it as a Police Academy For Civilians. Developed by a former Sheriff, Police & Corrections Officer, the training follows the same kind of training structure police academies use around the world.

In C.O.B.R.A. courses, you will participate in interactive discussions, learn practical self-defense techniques, and experience simulated real-life scenarios.

Courses are expertly designed so that everyone works at the same pace, master the training in a safe & professional environment and graduate together.

C.O.B.R.A. Self-Defense Training was carefully designed so that eveyone can participate. You do not need to be fit, physically strong or have any prior experience.

What Clients Say

Very professional and practical training. I enjoyed and learned a lot from their programme. They replace the idea you have of self defence, with the reality of it.

Ryno van Straten

The sessions were extremely interactive and insightful, keeping us engaged from start to finish. The hands-on approach ensured practical takeaways, leaving our team feeling more confident and empowered.

Courtney-Joy Kleyn

Excellent course, will recommend for anyone. It’s the BEST investment anyone can make.Leon and Yolanda are amazing instructors, they make you feel at ease and completely comfortable.

Carien Sander

I didn’t think you can do self-defense without using a fist. The training was very informative. The part where you learn how to defend yourself using your car keys or your thump stood out for me. Highly recommended, especially for women.
