ABOUT RISE
RISE KRAV MAGA offers authentic, reality-based self-defence training in Stockport, helping people across Manchester build confidence, fitness, strength, and practical skills.
​
Led by a certified instructor, RISE teaches techniques trusted by people worldwide to protect themselves and others. Our sessions are welcoming, effective, challenging and designed for all experience levels.
At RISE, you're not just learning self-defence. You're joining a club built on Resilience, Integrity, Strength, and Empowerment.
For reality. For you.
Unfortunately, not everyone out there thinks or acts the way we do.
Violent crime, harassment and other inappropriate behaviour continue to affect people from all walks of life.
And...life is not a movie. There’s no masked superhero coming to save you, and you don’t have superpowers either. But, you can learn self-defence skills that will protect you against attacks and get you to safety.
Self-defence isn’t about paranoia. It’s about techniques, confidence, preparation for the unexpected, and being ready to act when it really counts.
You will also build your fitness, resilience and awareness and train alongside people who share your goals.
​
WHY RISE?
At RISE, you receive training from an experienced self-defence instructor ​
We focus on reality-based self-defence that prepares you for real threats, real environments and real decisions. But we also believe that it’s about more than just techniques. It’s also about how you respond under pressure, and who you become through training — in a supportive environment, with friendships that last beyond the mat.
R.I.S.E. isn’t just our name. It’s our foundation.
R ESILIENCE
We train for the moments that don’t go to plan. When you're tired, overwhelmed, or unsure we keep going. You never give up. Self-defence training teaches people to adapt under pressure and recover from adversity.
S TRENGTH
Strength isn’t just about muscle. It’s about mental grit, showing up, and doing the work even when it’s hard. Our training builds real-world strength. The kind that helps you act under pressure and do what it takes to get to safety. You’ll be surprised what you’re actually capable of!
I NTEGRITY
We train and teach with honesty, respect each other, and leave ego at the door. In self-defence, integrity means knowing when to walk away, when to stand your ground, and doing the right thing, even under pressure.
E MPOWERMENT
We don’t just teach techniques, we help people take control. Empowerment is what happens when you walk out of a session taller, clearer, and more confident. You don’t need to be fearless, you just need to show up. Because failing is just not trying.
Why Krav Maga?
Krav Maga is a self-defence system designed to work in real-life situations. We teach practical techniques that help you fight back and get out. It’s built on natural reactions, so anyone can learn to respond quickly and get to safety.
