Defend Yourself. Defend Your Loved Ones!

Practical Scenario Training + Integrated Jiujitsu = Real-world readiness, not just martial arts drills.

Why Adults train at cadre?

scenario SPECIFIC

We are the only school in Singapore using scenario-based training from real-world attacks (captured on videos). It's practical no-nonsense training, where you'll learn to respond under pressure, practicing decision making in stressful realistic situations.

Complete system

Our integrated Jiujitsu blends striking, grappling, ground survival, weapon use and defense, and importantly mindset.  This isn't just sport - It's a martial art rooted in tradition, refined in real world conflict for today, ready for tomorrow

self development

Training at CADRE goes beyond just techniques. You'll build mobility, strength, resilience, and clarity of mind. Our approach develops not just warriors, but capable and confident individuals who can protect themselves and their loved ones. 

a pRACTICAL pRINCIPLE - BASED APPROACH

Other systems often focus on memorizing moves. At CADRE, you'll learn through concepts and principles - Why techniques work, how decisions are made, and how to adapt under pressure.

This ensures spontaneity and effectiveness, even when things don't go as planned. You'll learn to 

  • Detect threats before they escalate

  • Use verbal and tactical skills alongside physical defense

  • Train with both the civilian reality and legal context in mind

    • Your Path @ CADRE

    Step 1: Starter Membership 

    Your journey begins with a 4-week starter membership (4 sessions, 1 hour each). From day one, you join our regular  foundation classes — training in the same environment as our beginner full members. This gives you the chance to settle in, learn at your own pace, and experience the unique CADRE culture of scenario-based training and principle-driven martial arts.

    Step 2: Full Membership - Continue Training

    After your starter program, you continue seamlessly as a full member. Each week you’ll build real-world readiness through Integrated Jiujitsu: scenario drills, striking, grappling, ground survival, and weapon defense & use — all linked by tactical decision-making.

    Optional pathway - BJJ & Sports Jiujitsu

    CADRE’s Integrated Jiujitsu includes Brazilian Jiujitsu as one of its foundations. Students have the unique opportunity to earn BJJ rankings under the Machado lineage through Grandmaster Avi Nardia, currently a 4th Degress Machado BJJ black belt.

    For those who wish, there is also an opportunity to compete in Sport Jiujitsu through IJJF and SSJJF events. This pathway is complementary, built on the same foundation of Integrated Jiujitsu, and provides a platform for students who want to test themselves in competition.

    Lineage & Credibility

    Integrated Jiujitsu is the evolution of Isreali Jiujitsu, founded by Grandmaster Avi Nardia. A Military Major, who created the system of hand-to-hand combat for the Israeli Counter-terrorist unit, while he was in service. He is largely seen as a tactical specialist and martial arts scholar, with ranks of 8th dan in Aiki Kempo Jitsu (under Hanshi Patrick Macarthy) , 7th Dan In Kendo (Kubo Akira), 5th Dan in Judo (American Judo Federation) and 4th in BJJ under John Machado.

    CADRE Academy's founder and principal coach, Leon Koh, is Avi's direct student and the first person ranked 10th Dan in Israeli Jiujitsu by him. Leon also brings more than 30 years of marital arts leadership, achieving Grandmaster status in Taekwondo, Master and head instructor in Korean Swordsmanship, as well as a Dan rank in Arnis. Master Leon is also certified in applied psychology and adjucts as lecturer in Singapore tertiary institutes. 

    👉 This means every lesson at CADRE is grounded in authentic lineage, combat-tested experience, and modern application.

    At CADRE, you don’t just train moves — you train readiness.

    • For professionals: sharper situational awareness, resilience under stress, and a mindset that translates beyond the mat.

    Martial arts is not just what you do. It’s who you become!
