A fantastic class led by a brilliant team of instructors who are constantly looking to update and improve teaching and training methods. Gheorghe as an impressive CV and tons of knowledge to go with it, i couldn't recommend highly enough More...

So I've been training with Spartans Academy for a little over two years now, and it's been one hell of an education, not only in self-defence, but in how I view and adapt to the changing world around me. I've grown as a person and a fighter thanks to the excellent teaching and instruction from Gheorghe and Paul; and it's reached the point where I start to get withdrawal symptoms if I don't get my weekly training fix. Krav Maga is not a martial art for those looking for competition glory, but a more effective and versatile fighting system? There is none. This review is as much a thankyou as it is an appraisal. Keep up the awesome work, guys, and to anyone reading this I hope to see you in class some time. Stay safe and be well. More...

I'm busy and struggle to get to the classes so I booked a 1-2-1 session with Gheorghe. It was money well spent. Despite me being a complete beginner and having the coordination of a dead duck, Gheorghe was very patient, building my skills, and ensuring that I became more proficient with some of the basic movement patterns needed in Krav Maga. Although I have a long way to go, I did make huge progress, I'm looking forward to getting through to a few of the classes at Leeds and York in the months ahead, and developing my very basic skills to become more proficient and natural.

I joined the Spartan's Academy class in Leeds as a late fifty-something looking to regain some fitness and learn new skills. The classes are welcoming, friendly, informal and enjoyable, the instruction first class. Simple, straight forward techniques based around natural body movements, carefully demonstrated and practiced so they become automatic responses when fear and stress kick in. Classes suit all abilities and are made as realistic as possible with safety in training paramount, all underpinned with sound, practical advice on the avoidance of danger, the legal aspects of using force as a response to threat and exercises to improve fitness and flexibility. The Instructors are very knowledgable and work hard to make training relevant and up to date. If you are looking for the complex, choreographed movements and special costumes of some martial arts, this class is not for you - Krav Maga is a "front foot" response to threat and risk that puts you in the best position to defend yourself and others should the need arise. My advice would be, "don't be shy, give it a try," even from a single class you will definitely learn something and gain in confidence. More...

No better place to learn self defence than Spartans Academy. From being mindful of your surroundings to being able to extract yourself from harmful situations, Spartans Academy will change the way you look at the world around you. It will push you beyond your limits and show you that you are mentally stronger than you thought you could ever be.

I joined Spartans Academy of Krav Maga in Sheffield with no martial arts experience and without knowing really what to expect. I signed up for a free trial class and decided to join for a couple of months just to see what it was like. I ended up going to classes whenever I could for the best part of a year and only left as I was moving away. I would definitely go back and after meeting some great people and learning a lot of stuff which I would never have known from expert trainers, I would recommend this to anyone. If you're interested in learning some proper self defence techniques and you are anything from a complete beginner to being skilled in martial arts I think you should check this out!! More...

Spartans Academy's chief instructor Gheorghe Husar's real life experience and knowledge in combat is second to none.Because when he teaches you in class, he doesn't just tell you what technique to do but he meticulously breaks it down on how to do it properly and furthermore teaches you the reasons behind why you're doing it that way to begin with. Why is this important to you as a student?Because by challenging you to think about and understand the concepts and principles of krav maga as well as the reasons behind every technical detail of each technique he wants you to absorb and retain the information better than if you were only subjected to simple mechanical memorisation of techniques.This ultimately means you will perform better in a violent attack and will be more likely to adapt and overcome unforeseen attacks with counterattacks of you're own.Because of the above reasons you will often hear Gheorghe say in class " keep your hands up, observe the distance, look for the opportunity and neutralise the threat because action beats reaction, use tactical savagery if you can and when you disengage, scan the area around you for additional threats, weapons to defend yourself with and an escape route to make your getaway and get home safely " when we are practising and learning new techniques.Can you see how Gheorghe is the right instructor now?So the only question left to ask you is this, are you ready to learn real krav maga with Spartans Academy?And remember like Gheorghe says " Slow is Smooth. Smooth is Fast." More...

I’ve been hugely impressed with the Spartan Academy and Krav Maga as a practical, effective and efficient self-defence system. The Spartan Academy instructors are all highly skilled and experienced, they are calm, patient and proficient in their teaching. They demonstrate skills and techniques, then watching and supporting all class members in developing their skills and understanding. I have been particularly impressed with the chief instructor, Gheorghe, who seems to have exceptional knowledge, insight and understanding, not just of Krav Maga and biomechanics, but also of teaching and the barriers in transitioning from a martial arts background to Krav Maga. I have about 20 years’ experience in various martial arts and I have found all of them enjoyable and interesting forms of exercise, but I’ve always doubted their practical application in real world situations. It’s one thing blocking or throwing a punch in controlled sparring or the ring, but this isn’t reflective of the real world.I’ve been attending weekly classes with the Spartan Academy for about 2 months, my impression is that Krav Maga, as taught at the Spartan Academy, isn’t a martial art, but a practical, well thought out self-defence system, utilising situational awareness, biomechanics and muscle memory, in real world environments and scenarios. It’s also fun and fantastic exercise. More...

Joining Krav Maga helped me to build up my confidence, and my awareness, two hours of intensive training made me able to focuse for a longer time, it's not like other type of self defence, it's not for showing off, it's a real training. Instructors are happy to correct my mistakes even if I did them for many times which helped me to learn how to correct my self. I recommend Krav Maga for all the ladies, to stay safe, aware and confident.One of the most amazing things with this team is that by the time they become like a family, we are not only thier for training, we are a Krav Maga family.
