How do I choose between private and group training?

In a group, you learn and practice with different training partners. In private training, you work directly with Ran on what you want to learn or improve, with time for focused demonstration, practice and correction. Both formats suit beginners and people who want to go further. Ran will help you choose based on your interests and what fits into your life.

Meet Ran

A coach who gets to know you.
Still a student today.

When Ran comes to train with Dennis, he meets his teacher and his friends — and learns something new.

Ran wants to create that same combination in his own classes: serious practice, a real challenge and a coach who gets to know you. With a young child, it may start with play and movement. With an experienced student, it might be a small adjustment that changes an entire technique.

Martial arts, in the fullest sense

There's a lot
to learn here.

Stance, movement, throws, groundwork and self-defense. Technique learned through practice, contact and judgment, in a system you can keep studying for years.

Before you come

What should you know before your first session?

I have another question
Can I start without any experience?

Yes. You start with a short conversation about what interests you and your background, then choose a suitable trial session. You don't need to know any techniques or already have a belt.

What happens in the first session?

Wear comfortable clothes. Before you begin, Ran talks with you about previous experience and any limitations he should take into account, then explains what you will do. The format and details of the trial session are agreed on in advance.

Is there contact and sparring with a partner?

Contact, partner work and controlled sparring are part of learning martial arts. Ran adapts the practice to age, experience and ability and supervises throughout the session. If you have any concerns, you can talk with him before the session.

What age can kids start?

Usually around age five. For younger children, Ran considers each child individually. Early training focuses on movement, balance, coordination and play within a martial arts class.

Ran's volunteer work · Amcha in Holon

Music, food and gifts.
Years of showing up.

Ran has volunteered for years at Amcha, a community club for Holocaust survivors in Holon. He organizes celebrations with music, food and gifts and comes with friends and students to meet the club members again.

There is joy in the celebration itself, and a connection that continues from one visit to the next. Ran says he comes away with something, too: the participants’ love of life, the closeness that develops and the things he learns from them.
