You’ll join a supportive community that encourages growth and celebrates every achievement. Our mission at Champions Krav Maga Academy is to empower each individual to unleash the champion within. We guide our members in becoming the best versions of themselves, enriching their lives on and off the mats through our specialised curriculum in Modern Krav Maga and integrated Mixed Martial Arts. Established on September 12, 2022, by Max McGregor — an Australian Defence Force veteran and a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Gendai-Ryu Krav Maga and Jiu-Jitsu and Dennis Survival Ju-Jitsu — Champions Krav Maga Academy is Brisbane's premier destination for Modern Krav Maga training. With an unyielding focus on real-world self defence, our adult-centered curriculum is engineered to fortify you against life's unpredictable challenges and threats. We deliver unparalleled value through our results-oriented training, within a community-focused, inclusive environment, offering a welcoming and friendly space for all members. At Champions Krav Maga Academy, we employ a unique, modern Krav Maga methodology built upon our proven 5 Pillar system, covering self defence, striking, clinch, Jiu-Jitsu, and weapons. This offers a robust and comprehensive training program that is designed for real-world application. Our training is built on five core pillars that integrate to fortify our Modern Krav Maga approach:

1. Self Defence: Modern Krav Maga techniques form the backbone of our self defence training, preparing you for real-world situations. This serves as the central, foundational pillar, laying the groundwork for all other pillars in our curriculum.

2. Striking: Our curriculum in striking, inspired by Boxing and Muay Thai, focuses on enhancing your stand-up combat proficiency. You'll be trained in a variety of striking techniques, from foundational punches and kicks to more complex combinations and footwork. This element of our training hones your abilities in stand-up engagements, contributing significantly to your comprehensive self defence toolkit.

3. Clinch: The Clinch component of our training immerses you in the intricacies of close-quarters combat. Integrating techniques from Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Wrestling, this section covers essential grappling methods, takedowns, and control strategies. It's tailored to give you a tactical advantage in close-range confrontations, empowering you to neutralise threats effectively.

4. Jiu-Jitsu: Our Jiu-Jitsu training combines elements of Japanese and Brazilian styles, along with Ninjitsu. Focusing on ground combat, this training equips you with crucial skills for ground control, submissions, and defences. This is a vital part of self defence, preparing you for situations where you need to manage ground-based confrontations confidently.

5. Weapons: In our Weapons training pillar, you'll gain skills in defending against armed attackers. Utilising techniques from Krav Maga, Ninjitsu, and Filipino Martial Arts (FMA), this training is vital for contemporary self defence scenarios. You'll learn to recognise potential weapon threats, disarm attackers effectively, and use improvised weapons, significantly elevating your capability to handle armed confrontations. These pillars collectively fortify the core principle of Self Defence, forging a holistic and effective Modern Krav Maga methodology. Our 5 Pillar system is more than a set of techniques; it's a philosophy that shapes your journey in martial arts. Each pillar serves as a building block that enhances your ability to defend yourself and others effectively. As you advance through the curriculum, you'll also notice improvements in your physical fitness, mental toughness, and overall sense of well-being. This multi-dimensional training enriches your life on and off the mat, making you a more confident and capable individual.

You will not train under this many experienced coaches in one weekend very often.

Modern Warrior Alliance 2026 brings together expert instructors from seven different schools and three martial arts, all on the mats at Champions Krav Maga Academy from Friday 20 to Sunday 22 November.

If you train seriously, this is worth clearing the weekend for.

Big reveal time. The thing we have been hinting at is Modern Warrior Alliance 2026.

From Friday 20 to Sunday 22 November, Brisbane becomes the meeting point for Australia's most committed martial artists. This one lands right here at Champions Krav Maga Academy in Holland Park.

Instructors from Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai and self defence are training under one roof for the weekend. Every session runs two rooms at once, each led by a different instructor for a full hour. Halfway through, everyone swaps, so you train with both instead of missing one.

The Expert Instructors:

🥋 Dr Gavriel Schneider, 9th Dan, Gendai Ryu Krav Maga and Jiu Jitsu, Head of System
🥋 Ron Amram, 4th Dan, Gendai Ryu Krav Maga and Jiu Jitsu, Head Krav Maga Coach at The Barn Martial Arts and Fitness in Perth
🥋 Max McGregor, 3rd Dan, Gendai Ryu Krav Maga and Jiu Jitsu, Head Coach and Founder of Champions Krav Maga Academy
🥋 Nick Rymer, 2nd Dan, Gendai Ryu Krav Maga and Jiu Jitsu, Head Coach of Krav Maga at BTC
🥋 Paul Johnstone, Head Coach and Founder of Street Edge Krav Maga
🥋 David McDonald, 3rd Dan, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Head Coach and Founder of Level 5 BJJ
🥋 Bradley Traynor, Head Coach and Founder of Fight House Industries Muay Thai
🥋 Van Damn (Jean Claude Bernard), 1st Dan, Carlson Gracie BJJ, Head Coach at Carlson Gracie BJJ Redlands

No all or nothing pass. Choose Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or all three with BBQ lunch included Saturday. Fifty spots per session, and only 15 at early bird pricing. Early bird closes 18 October, or sooner if those spots go first.

Gendai Ryu members, your weekend keeps going Sunday with grading, a BBQ and the end of year awards.
