Dynamic Self Defence Academy

Fantastic experience: the people here, Mel, Shaun and Gideon, really helped my wife after she lost all her confidence following an incident in the local park. The team here done a fantastic job in helping my wife get back to her bubbly self. The training in Krav Maga was exactly what she needed. Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at DSD Academy in Hendon, and I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough. The staff and instructors are fantastic. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, supportive, and feels like family. Everyone, from the coaches to the members, creates an environment where you’re encouraged to grow, push yourself, and enjoy the journey. The instructors are top-notch, each bringing their own style and energy: •Grace – the only female instructor, and an absolute inspiration. She has incredible technical skills, rhythm, and precision, showing the beauty and discipline of Muay Thai in every movement. •Nate – highly technical and excellent at breaking down the “why” behind techniques, making sure you understand not just how to do something, but how it applies in a real fight. •Sam – a cardio machine! He pushes you to your limits and beyond, helping you build stamina and resilience something that’s definitely needed in Muay Thai. Every class challenges you to step outside your comfort zone, build endurance, and keep improving, and I’ve never once regretted a session. The academy has taught me so much already, and I know I’ll continue to grow with every class I take. DSD isn’t just a place to train it’s a community where passion for Muay Thai is shared and nurtured. I show up to show out, and I leave every class feeling stronger, sharper, and more grateful for the art and the people who teach it!

Fantastic experience: Organsed, professional, friendly and tailored to the students goals

Fantastic experience: An ideal place for beginners and advanced. Professionalism, commitment, high personal culture and great patience for those who need it.

Fantastic experience: Great! My son is loving his Muay Thai lessons. Grace is an amazing instructor.

Negative experience: Not recommended. Just wasted money and time No one talks to you , no one explain, trainers only talking eachother. They do not care if you new on this, not explaining positions , kicks, punches...

Fantastic experience: High level martial arts Gym, all top quality instructors. Especially love the new BJJ classes under Coach Stefan Zoll

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn martial arts. So far, only tried Muay Thai beginners class and everyone made me feel welcome and also reassured to me that Muay Thai wasn't for the weak and required hard work. Amazing.

Fantastic experience: Capoiera! I love Chris and her Wednesday class, combinding stretching and copeira to really grow our skills!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend enough DSD! I’ve done both Krav Maga and Muay Thai and love both classes! Instructors are very capable and incredibly knowledgeable. The atmosphere is amazing and everyone is welcome. I’ve tried other martial art gyms in London and I hated that toxic masculinity environment or feeling out of place. None of that happened at DSD. You’ll train within your comfort zone no matter the class you join and you’ll train with people with a mix of experiences. All the instructors ensure that each person gets the right level of training.
