Civilian Tactical Grappling
Tactical Grappling Civil is a self-defense program designed for everyday people. It combines standing and ground fighting, takedowns, and opponent control — all adapted to real-world scenarios outside a sport context. The goal is to give you the tools to protect yourself and others in an actual threat situation.
No prior experience is necessary. The program is structured to take students from zero and progress gradually. What matters is attitude and a willingness to learn — we take care of the rest.
Comfortable sports clothes to start. As training intensity increases, we'll add basic protective gear such as gloves and a mouthguard. We'll give you a full rundown at the beginning of the program on what you'll need along the way.
Classes run several times a week. Check the timetable on the website or ask us directly — groups are kept small to ensure personalised attention.
Yes, we offer a free first trial class. It's the best way to see the group dynamic, the level of demand, and whether this program is what you're looking for. Message us and we'll reserve your spot.

Law Enforcement Tactical Grappling
Tactical Grappling Policial is a specialist program for security professionals and law enforcement. It covers restraint, immobilization, and control techniques adapted to professional intervention contexts: handcuffing, safe distances, equipment handling, and working in confined spaces.
The program is aimed at all public and private security personnel: National Police, Local Police, Civil Guard, private security, and intervention teams in general. If you're unsure whether your profile fits, just ask us.
A background in martial arts or self-defense is a plus but not mandatory. The program builds from tactical fundamentals and adapts to the group's level. What is required is a professional attitude and commitment to training.
Comfortable, durable training clothes. Depending on the program phase, we'll work with protective equipment and in some modules with service gear, regulation or simulated. We'll brief you at the start of each module.
Contact us via WhatsApp or through the website form. For groups or units looking for collective training, we also offer tailored programs. Tell us your situation and we'll put together a proposal.
Pricing depends on the format: individual, group, or ongoing training. Contact us for a personalised quote tailored to your needs or your unit's requirements.
Women's Tactical Grappling
It's a self-defense program designed specifically for women. We start from the reality of the most common attacks against women — physical assaults, abduction attempts, sexual violence — and teach realistic, effective techniques for those specific scenarios. The environment is safe, respectful, and built for learning without pressure.
Neither. The program starts from scratch and adapts to all fitness levels. The techniques we teach are designed to work regardless of strength or size — effectiveness comes from technique, not physicality.
Women's Tactical Grappling is an exclusively female group. We believe this environment makes it easier to learn and allows us to work through specific female assault scenarios with complete comfort and confidence.
Comfortable sports clothes: leggings, t-shirt or sports top. No special equipment needed to start. As you progress in the program we may add some basic protective gear — we'll cross that bridge together when we get there.
Absolutely. Come along with no commitment to a first class to meet the group and check that the atmosphere is what you're looking for. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll get you in.
We have different membership options. Contact us for up-to-date pricing — we want self-defense for women in Badalona to be as accessible as possible.
Krav Maga
Krav Maga is the combat system developed by the Israel Defense Forces. It's not a sport — it's a real-world self-defense method built for everyday threat scenarios. In our classes you'll learn to neutralize armed and unarmed threats, protect others, and develop a tactical mindset. It's the most practical self-defense system you can learn in Barcelona.
None at all. Krav Maga is designed so that anyone can learn to defend themselves from scratch. All you need is the willingness to train hard. If you have any injuries or medical conditions, just let us know beforehand and we'll work with you.
Just comfortable sports clothes to start — tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt. As you progress, you'll need boxing gloves and shin guards for sparring drills. We'll guide you on equipment when you're ready. Don't worry about any of that on your first day.
We run classes several times a week. Check the up-to-date schedule on our timetable page, or message us on WhatsApp — groups are kept small so we want to make sure you find a slot that works for you.
Yes. We offer a free trial class with no commitment, so you can see the vibe, the level and whether Krav Maga is what you're looking for. Just message us on WhatsApp or through the contact form and we'll save you a spot.
We have different membership options to suit different needs. Contact us for up-to-date pricing — we're committed to making quality self-defense training in Badalona accessible.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art focused on ground fighting, takedowns, and submissions. You'll learn to control opponents, escape bad positions, and apply joint locks and chokes that work regardless of your size or strength. It's a discipline that combines effective self-defense, physical development, and mental chess.
No experience needed. Beginner classes are designed for people with no prior martial arts background. You'll learn safe falling, basic positions, and fundamental ground movement progressively. Every training session is a step forward.
For gi BJJ you'll need an approved kimono. For no-gi, leggings and a fitted rash guard or t-shirt work great. If you don't have a gi yet, come your first time in comfortable sports clothes and we'll advise you on what to get.
Competition is entirely optional. Many of our students train purely for the joy of it, fitness, or self-defense, with no interest in competing. Those who do want to compete get specific preparation and team support at local and international tournaments.
Of course. Come to a class with no obligation and see the atmosphere and teaching level for yourself. Message us on WhatsApp or through the contact form and we'll fit you in.
We have various membership options to fit different needs. Contact us directly for current pricing — we'll be happy to walk you through what's available.
Kids
Our Kids program is designed for children and young people. We have age-appropriate groups so learning matches each stage of development. Get in touch with your child's age and we'll point you to the right group.
Safety is our absolute priority. All classes are adapted to the children's age and level, with progressive techniques and constant supervision. The goal isn't only to teach self-defense — it's also to build values like respect, self-control and responsibility.
They'll learn basic age-appropriate self-defense techniques, but above all they'll build self-confidence, discipline, motor coordination and social skills. The program combines self-defense, physical activity and values education.
Comfortable sports clothes to start. As they progress we recommend some basic protective gear. We'll brief you in detail after the initial assessment.
Yes — we invite children and their parents to come to a free trial class to meet the instructor and see the atmosphere. It's the best way to know if the program is the right fit. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll arrange it.
We have special rates for children and families with multiple children enrolled. Contact us for current pricing — we want every child in Badalona to have the opportunity to train in self-defense and martial arts.
