CCMA isn't a club. We no longer run public classes but offer private lessons by appointment, as well as seminars and courses for individuals or small groups. Private clients can also join small workshops every four weeks, creating a club-like atmosphere. Think of us as personal trainers, seminar leaders, and course instructors, depending on your needs. The "Clubb" in our name comes from our founder's surname.
At CCMA, self-protection involves skills for civilians to protect themselves from violence, including self-defense (physical skills) and personal security (non-physical skills). It's like a negative first aid course, teaching life-saving skills quickly. In self-protection, the personal security side is given the most attention. These skills include adopting a proactive and resilient attitude, situational awareness, managing fear/stress, understanding the nature of violence (such as the difference between predatory and social violence), setting boundaries in life, spotting pre-incident indicators, understanding the nature of threats, setting boundaries, deescalation techniques, post-incident check, the legal side, reporting crimes and coping with the aftermath. The physical skills are a set of highly restricted yet adaptive, relevant, low maintenance and scalable tactics. All self-protection training is individualised and centred on the end-user in line with their place of work, age, gender, travelling habits and location and other factors that would determine the type of threat they are likely to face. Further training can include specialised courses like weapon awareness.
Martial arts, on the other hand, are combat systems used in warfare, sport or self-protection, evolving over time. They often require regular training for continuous improvement. At CCMA, we focus on combat sports - mainly boxing, kickboxing, Thai Boxing (muay Thai), wrestling (stand-up grappling), submission grappling (ground fighting) and Mixed Martial Arts - but also incorporate traditional martial arts and combatives. This is a life journey and also an enjoyable pastime that will improve your fitness and well being. Sessions are always challenging and progressive in nature. You will train within the constraints of the art, training evermore sophisticated moves and techniques.
Self-protection and martial arts are trained separately, except when enhancing basic self-defence.
In summary, self-protection is a concise course for civilian safety, while martial arts are continuous training for personal improvement through combat.
