Action and Energy is a self defence program based on the principles and techniques of the Israeli Krav Maga system. With an emphasis on awareness and disengagement, the program is designed to teach civilians everything they need to know in order to be able to effectively defend themselves.
You do not need to be “sporty” and you do not need any previous fighting or martial arts experience. Any exercises we do will be tailored to your personal fitness and movement ability, and the methods of action are based on reflexes so it’s much easier to master than you might think. The warmup section of the class includes proprioception exercises for balance and strength

I also teach a bare essentials course comprising two one hour sessions. This covers disengagement, hand and leg strikes along with knife defence. The concise nature of the course is ideal for those with busy lifestyles who are travelling to places less safe than they might be used to, or for young adults who may be starting university abroad.
Personal training and HIIT style KM sessions are also available.
There are positive influences of self-defense programs on all facets of life. There is a positive effect on the self-esteem and confidence of the trainees through physical exercise and group experience, relaxation techniques, concentration, assertiveness, directness and honest communication. It can also help with managing the expression of emotions such as aggressiveness and vulnerability, and help decrease sleep disorders and depression.
EQUIPMENT: All equipment will be provided. Just bring yourself!

Along with teaching the Action & Energy program and his ongoing Krav Maga training in Israel, he currently trains in Jun Fan Jeet Kuen Do, Tsing Yi, and Tai Chi (BJJ, Wing Chun and Aikido in the past). He is also a group fitness instructor and has a keen interest in movement based therapies such as Alexander Technique, Feldenkreis Method and Shaw Technique. For Berni, mindfulness is inextricably linked to self improvement and so he strives to makes it a central part of his daily life.
