From the start, we teach practical techniques "step-by-step": defense, distance control, moving off the line of attack, as well as striking and counter-attacking.

• ✔ We teach punches, kicks, joint locks, and pressure point strikes.
• ✔ We teach how to escape holds in close contact using proper evasion and interception.
• ✔ For safety, we train using protective sports gear.
• ✔ We practice in pairs and on punching bags.
• ✔ We teach techniques derived from Karate Kata forms, enriched with boxing and self-defense elements.

Sensei Norbert Andrzejewski 4th Dan Shiro Washi Ryu Kempo 1st Dan Oyama Karate

I have been practicing martial arts for over 30 years. During this time, I have explored many different approaches to martial arts training, as well as the core direction and purpose of combat itself.

My achievements in sports tournaments and technical mastery bore little relation to the "street" reality I experienced and was involuntarily involved in.

Many aspects disappointed me, which is why I am developing in several directions, basing my practice on Classical Karate - Shiro Washi Ryu Kempo, through sports combat and street self-defense.

I strive to combine the techniques and concepts of Kata forms into dynamic actions aimed at survival and controlling the opponent/aggressor.

For regular students, we provide video materials on a dedicated platform.

• ✔ The knowledge contained in these materials is designed to systematize your understanding of specific sports techniques, self-defense, kata, and bunkai.
• ✔ Detailed explanations and technical corrections are carried out during training.
• ✔ Access to the platform is exclusively for students training at the Krakow school of martial arts and self-defense, after creating an account and being granted access by the Instructor.
• ✔ The presented techniques cover the technical requirements for subsequent Kyu grades.

Regular training is not just sweat on the mat, but above all, continuous and measurable development. In our club, you don't train blindly – you have a clearly defined path before you, leading you step by step to mastery.

By passing subsequent exams for student grades (Kyu), you verify your skills and master comprehensive material. At each stage, you learn three inseparable elements:

• ✔ Sports combat – building dynamics, stamina, distance control, and striking precision.
• ✔ Real self-defense – survival techniques and behavior in close contact.
• ✔ Traditional Kata forms – teaching proper mechanics and hidden combat applications (Bunkai).

It is a well-thought-out, logical system. Passing all student grades will solidly prepare you for the most important test – the Black Belt (Dan) exam.
