Is it Safe? ▼

Your safety is our priority at CADRE. Our culture is one where students can decide on the speed and intensity that your training partner can present. This way you can increase the speed as you increase in fitness and skill.  


Additionally, our programs are designed according to sound scientific training principles that take into consideration different learning styles, fitness and skill levels.


All drills are supervised by our qualified coaches, and scaled accordingly. 

I am unfit / inactive can I still join ? ▼

Our classes are suitable for anyone who has not been explicitly advised against physical activities. Drills can be scaled accordingly and you will work at your capacity and progressively see improvement. You don't have to be fit to start, but once you start you can see your fitness gradually improves.


If you have specific concerns, we advice you to seek professional medical opinion on your situation before beginning with us.  

I have prior injuries / medical history can I still join? ▼

If you have already been cleared by a medical professional for your previous condition, then it is okay to join our class. If you have specific considerations, do inform our coaches and accommodations and modifications can be made to the drills to suit your needs.  


If you have an existing condition, we advice you to seek medical clearance before participating in any physical activity.

I have NO experience at all can I still join? ▼

Our mission is to empower anyone concerned with their safety and well-being to enhance their ability to protect themselves, while developing their physical, psychological and emotional capabilities.  Everyone regardless of experience can and will benefit from our classes.  Our coaches are trained to break down the explanation of the drill and techniques, and provide you with the step-by-step instructions so that you can follow. 


We focus on natural human movement, which makes the skills easy to pick up. 


What is the youngest age to start? ▼

While the youngest age in our categorization is 4 years old, we use the age as a guide. We have had students beginning from 3 years old, as they were developmentally more advanced compared to children their age. This is also the reason why we have the starter membership to allow time to settle in and evaluate suitability. 

What is the age of oldest student? ▼

Age should not be a limiting factor in the consideration of joining a class. Our oldest student is age at 76. As long as there is no medical limitation or concern, then anyone can have a meaningful training experience at our academy

membership & classes

Why do you not have a free trial? All other schools have one ▼

While we cannot speak for other schools, we believe that martial arts and self defense training can be truly rewarding in terms of discipline, focus and confidence. On-going classes are a commitment and isn't for everyone. The 4 weeks in our starter membership allow you to feel the culture of the school, interact with our team and other members, you'd also get to see the structure and progression of the class. Additionally you can adjust your schedules as you get accustomed to the commitment required for on-going classes. 


This period also allows us to see if this program is a right fit for you.

Certification / curriculum 

Are all KAPAP Schools the same? ▼

Many school around the world has adopted the term KAPAP or KAPAP Krav Maga, as the name gained popularity and prominence. Some of these schools many have at some point trained with Avi or researched his material. Many others, just plainly use the name KAPAP but teach something that is far from the KAPAP developed by Avi Nardia. KAPAP Krav Maga, was founded and developed by Major Avi Nardia and is the system used for the Israeli Counter Terrorist unit YAMAM and their special forces.  


CADRE Academy is the ONLY school directly recognized by Avi Nardia to teach KAPAP Krav Maga in Singapore. 

Are there belt ranks in KAPAP? ▼

There are belt ranks in KAPAP, and the ranks are used as milestone to recognize students commitment to the study of KAPAP Krav Maga.  It adopts a ranking system similar to Japanese Jiujitsu, beginning from White to yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, brown and finally black.

Are there instructor certification in KAPAP Krav Maga ▼

Yes, instructor certification is available for KAPAP Krav Maga.  Master Leon Koh is authorized by Avi Nardia to train, rank and certify instructors and teachers. Instructor candidates will have needed to study KAPAP under a recognized KAPAP Krav Maga School before being considered for Instructor certification.  

Is there a difference in the adults and kids curriculum? ▼

While we acknowledge the benefits that competition bring, we do not focus on training for competition. Competition training requires a different focus. While the technical skill sets used may be similar, but the tactics and thinking process is different.  More advanced students can decide to compete in Jiujitsu or standup striking competition, but that would require a competition focused training.
