About Us
Atemi Ryu Ninjutsu is a street-survival system built on efficiency, decisive action, and a focus on staying alive.
The system includes practical techniques such as headbutts, groin strikes, attacks to vulnerable points, and other methods that are not allowed in sport fighting. Everything taught is aimed at real-world situations where safety is on the line.
Our Close-Quarters Combat method blends several martial disciplines into one streamlined program. The emphasis is on proven techniques that work under pressure.
Atemi Ryu Ninjutsu is a progressive, multi-discipline martial system designed for modern threats. We believe that every person should have the skills to protect themselves.
We provide self-defence training for adults, women’s empowerment groups, and corporate groups looking to strengthen personal safety and team confidence.

At Atemi Ryu – Self Defence Academy, we do not negotiate on quality instruction. All instructors are required to complete a minimum of 2 years training before starting their instructor training. Instructor training is a 12-month process, where the potential instructor will be guided on how to present quality instruction.
The potential instructor will start with assisting during group classes, helping beginners learn the basics and teaching small groups under supervision. After 12 months, the potential instructor will undergo official instructor testing. This consists of a skill test under pressure, an instruction evaluation and finally a physical test.
After successfully completing all of the above, will the individual qualify as a fully certified Atemi Ryu instructor. Each Atemi Ryu instructor undergoes annual performance appraisals under strict penalty of instructor status revocation.
Reviews
“One the best decisions I could have made during lock down, was attending a session and immediately thereafter joining. If you want to know the real deal about protecting yourself in everyday life, this is the place to be. What started off as a random class has turned into a valuable life experience, if you need some serious real-life Street defence classes this is where you need to be. You will learn from the absolute best, at a pace that you can handle with a mountain of patience from the Academy”
