Having studied martial arts for several years previously, I was looking for a more hands-on and real-life defence system. Gheorghe Husar is a fantastic instructor; incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and approachable. He teaches a range of techniques to both men and women, ensuring that as you progress, you learn to apply your skills to a range of real-life situations. Retrieval is key to the successes of the learners as Gheorghe reviews and reinforces key moves every session. His teaching style forces the learners to stop and consider potential solutions to a range of situations instead of simply providing the solution. As an educator of 20 years, I am incredibly impressed, and I am now a lifelong krav learner. The atmosphere is friendly, and everyone is approachable. The full day seminars are fantastic and give an opportunity to meet a range of learners from across the classes. Give it a go. It's a fantastic activity for health and fitness as well as effective self-defense. Fully recommended.

Instructors are fantastic. Experience in sessions are great. The whole trainings are tailored for the manouveres later in the session. Fantastic self defence that is practical in real life applications

I have trained at Durham, Newcastle and online and the experience is second to none. Over the last few years training with Spartan Academy I have seen nothing but excellent and received help and support when required both in and outside of classes. From self defence to fitness, networking and building friendships I would not look anywhere else.

Gheorghe Husar heads such an amazingly skilled and knowledgeable team. The realistic drills are detailed and well explained and adaptable to each person's capabilities. The environment is extremely friendly and intimate where everyone works together to support each other to push our limits while having lots of fun! Definitely recommend Spartans Academy of Krav Maga THE Academy to join!!

I joined the Spartans Academy back in July 2021. I have found both the content of the classes, combined with the teaching style of Gheorghe incredibly intuitive and accessible. From someone with little experience in self defense, it has been an invaluable experience to build up what I now consider essential knowledge and skills in this area. The extra curricular content (such as the online course content, the core Krav seminars) are an added bonus to what is otherwise a fantastic way to learn Krav Maga. I have recommended the Spartans Academy to others and will continue to do so.

I have been training with the Spartans Academy for just over a year now and it is the complete package. Both my mental and physical health and my confidence have improved drastically. The instructors are an amazing, highly dedicated and professional team who put their students first at all times. If you are thinking of joining, do not hesitate. You will be welcome and you will become a better “you”. Learn very effective skills and techniques with the Spartan Academy. You will not regret it!

Spartans Academy of Krav Maga is the best for learning self defence and how to improve your thinking in critical situations. I can say that I have improved much more than I would’ve thought along the years and I truly recommend Spartans Academy. The instructors are very knowledgeable and the chief instructor Gheorghe Husar is world renowned for his achievements in Krav Maga, this means you will train with the best instructor of Krav. Also, training in a friendly and motivating environment helps to bring the best in you during every class.

What a remarkable academy! Gheorghe Husar and his fantastic team at Spartans Academy of Krav Maga provide excellent and professional training, as well as a wealth of knowledge about all things Krav Maga and self defence related. The standard of tuition is first rate and their dedication to the well-being/progress of students is unquestionable. I'll never regret taking the first step to learning to defend myself and all the benefits that have naturally followed. As someone who started with no physical fitness or a martial arts background, I can't believe how much I've learned so far and look forward to improving continuously alongside my fellow Spartans.

I've been a part of the Spartans Krav Maga community for over a decade. for a lot of that time I was inactive due to an extended period away from the area on business and for an extended business due to life threatening illness. Throughout this time the community was supportive and has welcomed me back. During my inactive periods I attended the one day short courses / seminars whenever I could to keep in touch. The instructors and techniques are world class and practical. I could wax lyrical for hours about the character and capabilities of Gheorghe Husar, the founder and chief instructor of Spartans Academy. Suffice to say his knowledge is peerless and his thirst to learn from students and different fighting styles boundless. Newcastle is a brilliant club with a supportive team of instructors and students. You'll get a lot out of training with us.
