I have been seeing Dean for 1 on 1 sessions and really recommend it to anyone considering. I have other commitments and cannot make it to the group classes, so the private sessions are great for it. Dean is friendly, calm and clear in his instruction. As someone new to self defence/martial arts, Dean makes you feel welcome and capable to achieve your desired outcome. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dean to friends and family. I am excited to continue my training with Dean.

First off, I'd recommend people look at the 99.9% of reviews and from that you can make your own conclusion!! I have been fortunate enough to attend Dean's Academy for over 12 months, I suffer from severe anxiety and am fortunate enough to attend personal lessons, I am also a NDIS Support Worker and have been able to introduce two of my clients to Krav Maga and Deans tuition. Together with my clients we have been able to improve our confidence, fitness and wellbeing through attending our lessons. Dean has consistently worked with us to support and accommodate our mental illness and structure our learning to allow us to learn and grow as individuals and Martial Artists!! The growth I personally have experienced and the improvement in my clients lives is immeasurable and I really cannot praise Dean enough for what he has helped us achieve. I would say to anyone that wants to build confidence, fitness and safety to approach Dean and discuss your goals and how to achieve them!! Please allow yourself to explore the possibilities and not just imagine what your life could be like but take control and love your best life!!!

I've been attending Krav Maga group classes here for a few months now, and it's been a great experience. Dean is knowledgeable and the training is practical and engaging. I feel like I've gained confidence in my self-defense skills, and enjoy the different challenges each class brings.

Great culture, great fun but most importantly you learn simple yet effective self defence from multiple different attacks including weapons and hostage situations. The content learnt helps to build confidence no matter what situation you may find yourself in.

I've been training at Defensive Kombat / Krav Maga - Tactical Mixed Martial Arts with Dean, and I can confidently say it's an incredible experience. Dean's knowledge is extensive, and the training is comprehensive, covering real-world self-defense scenarios in a way that is both practical and effective. What makes this place stand out is the supportive and disciplined training environment. The group training sessions are intense, yet the members push you to your limits without ever compromising safety. That level of trust built in training extends beyond the gym—you know you can rely on these people outside the training venue too. If you're looking for high-quality self-defense training in a welcoming and professional environment, I highly recommend Defensive Kombat!

Was a past member around 2017 went there for about 6 month, only just started again mid november last year when out of the blue instructors Dean reach out to me asking when I'm going back to training and no excuses this time. Instructor Dean is thorough in his explanation, and his knowledge in martial arts are abundant. The group atmosphere are friendly and respectful, was worried how it's going to be back with new faces around. Training are repetitive but fun, repetitive in a sense to built up muscle memories. Knife and gun techniques, not gonna lie i was in awe the first time i saw it and it seems difficult to get used to. Only after Instructors Dean break it down to multiple steps, it's easy to learn. After coming back i was more amazed that some of the previous training and muscle memories are still there even after 7 years of no training. Definitely worth it to give it a go, even if the goal is just to stay fit.

I had been curious about Krav Maga to support well-being and confidence. From the introductory meeting after a quick call, Dean made me feel welcome and inspired me with his experience, knowledge and skills around the potential for Krav Maga for self defence. Both the PT and group classes are very well priced and presented, with opportunities for all levels to participate alongside each other. The friendly, inclusive, and supportive group environment highlights the respect and admiration members have for the art, and each other. Training with Dean and the Defensive Kombat team has brought many personal positives alongside skill development. Confidence, strength and stamina to name a few. It's worth making that call!

Defensive Kombat / Krav Maga - Tactical Mix Martial Arts is a great. Instructor Dean is so well informed and inspiring. Firstly, it’s beginner friendly. I’m a beginner and I appreciate the friendliness of my fellow trainees and everyone leaves their egos at the door. Secondly, the training that’s being taught is next level serious stuff. My impression of this type of martial art is that it’s dirty and brutal, which is understandable when dealing with a life or death situation (knives and guns). Because of this the techniques being taught seem like they cannot be used in a competitive setting like a ring or octagon, the training is perfect for escaping street fights or for military and security personnel. Thank you Dean, I’m very impressed, see you again soon.

I have been a member of Defensive Combat Krav Maga for over 2 years now. Dean runs a friendly, realistic approach to self defence. You don’t need any experience and he lays things out in simple effective way. When you start learning the ways of Krav Maga with Dean you realise how under prepared you actually are for real life situations. It’s not about beating people up it’s all about street awareness. All the other members are friendly and help new members. The classes are fun and you get a good sweat on. Prices are fair and there is flexibility. I would highly recommend anyone from any age or fitness level who wants to be more prepared for that crazy world out there to give it a go.
