Johnny Mehta would like to invite everyone to check out Self Defence Chelsea, a well-known martial arts school in London that specialises in Urban Krav Maga. Their aim is to teach practical self-defence techniques to help people protect themselves in real-life situations.
Most of the classes at Self Defence Chelsea happen outdoors, which many folks seem to prefer. But if indoor training is more your style, they can arrange that too. They’ve got group sessions and private lessons, whatever suits you best. Johnny even offers the first trial private lesson at a discounted rate of £30, so you can get a taste of what the training's like without a big commitment.
Self Defence Chelsea holds classes in various spots around London. In South Kensington, you can train indoors at Aquilla Health Club in The Rembrandt Hotel. Over in Marylebone, they mix it up with indoor and outdoor sessions, using Regent's Park and Total Chi & Pilates. Hyde Park is the spot for outdoor training in Knightsbridge, while Duo Chelsea hosts indoor sessions in Chelsea & Fulham. If none of these locations work for you, just let Johnny know—he’s open to setting up classes in other areas around London as well. Keep in mind that class times and locations might change, so it’s always a good idea to check ahead.
Urban Krav Maga, the main system at Self Defence Chelsea, blends techniques from various martial arts like Karate, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Aikido, Boxing, and more. It’s designed to be accessible regardless of your size, strength, or fitness level. The system focuses on pre-emptive strikes, highlighting the importance of taking action before an attacker does. It’s practical and tested in real-life scenarios, continually evolving to be as effective as possible.
Classes cover techniques for handling common street attacks and emphasise awareness and avoidance. But if things get physical, Johnny makes sure students are ready to defend themselves in all sorts of environments—tight spaces, busy places, cars, shops, clubs, you name it.
All the Urban Krav Maga instructors, including Johnny, are trained by the UKM Technical Committee. This committee features top names like Stewart McGill, a Hall of Fame martial artist, and Leo Negao, a four-time World champ in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. So, the training you get comes from highly skilled and experienced professionals.
Joining Self Defence Chelsea means you’re becoming part of a community focused on effective self-defence techniques and personal growth. Johnny Mehta’s approach combines various martial arts disciplines and keeps evolving, aiming to help everyone protect themselves with confidence.
