Modern Combatives & Self Defence Academy, spearheaded by renowned instructor Max Stringer, stands proudly in Derby, UK. Max and his team bring a wealth of experience and dedication to offer a well-rounded martial arts and self-defence training programme.
At the heart of MCSDA is Stringer Ryu JUKADO, a contemporary martial art that equips individuals with practical self-defence skills. This holistic training approach blends various techniques to ensure students are prepared for real-life scenarios.
Classes cater to athletes of all ages and abilities. For kids aged 5-10, junior sessions lay the groundwork in martial arts, strengthening flexibility, confidence, and teamwork. As they turn 10, they transition to Cadets classes, where more advanced techniques await.
For those aged 16 and above, senior classes deliver the full Stringer JUKADO curriculum under the guidance of seasoned instructors. Everyone, from complete novices to experienced martial artists, is welcomed with open arms and encouraged to train with an open mind.
Beyond the JUKADO core, MCSDA also offers a range of disciplines like MCSDA Wrestling, Ki-Aikido, Adaptive Karate, and the MCSDA Fear Fighter Self Defence Courses. This variety ensures every individual finds a niche matching their interests and goals.
The Academy boasts state-of-the-art facilities, including two matted areas and a sprung wooden floor training room, complemented by a comprehensive learning centre. These top-tier resources create a safe and supportive training environment.
Training here extends benefits far beyond physical fitness and self-defence. It fosters mental focus, stress relief, and a tight-knit community spirit. MCSDA’s classes instil respect, self-control, and valuable social skills, enabling young athletes to gain a sense of purpose and make lifelong friendships.
MCSDA also opens doors to national and international courses with top-tier instructors, giving students opportunities to further hone their skills and expand their martial arts knowledge.
Whether you're a novice eager to learn self-defence, a parent seeking martial arts classes for your child, or a seasoned practitioner aiming to push your limits, Max Stringer’s Modern Combatives & Self Defence Academy is your go-to training ground in Derby, UK.
