Affiliated under Rio Grappling Club (International Affiliation) At Ability Academy one of our primary focus are the kids. The bully guard classes have been running since 2014 and are for ages 6 – 13. We’ve had much success stories of kids being more confident, disciplines and handling real life bully situations at school in a calm and rational manner without using violence. The main basis for our bully guard program is founded on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (more on BJJ below) where we teach them to all the different techniques in order to control the opponent rather than hurt them as well as specific escapes if they ever find themselves in a trapped position. With this being said we strive to create an environment where they will be able to thrive and be the best version of themselves. The key is to never forget that we are still working with kids and therefore we incorporate a whole lot of fun in our classes. Jiu Jitsu also works on a belt system and there are tournaments held throughout the year. This keeps the kids motivated and they strive to earn their next stipe or belt and this automatically raises their skill levels. They can also earn their regional or SA colours when participating in the tournaments. Our bully classes run from Monday to Thursday (14:30 - 15:15 ; 16:30 - 17:15)

Affiliated under SAKA (South African Kickboxing Association) and SAKA are nationally affiliated to MASA ( Martial Arts South Africa) who is associated to SASCOC ( South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee ) and are also internationally affiliated to WAKO ( World Association of Kickboxing Organizations ) and we are also affiliated under NMA-ISKA (National Martial Arts) Kickboxing is a fighting style on its own. Here we teach the student about the fundamentals of punching, kicking and movement (basically how to fight and defend yourself from your feet) not forgetting the strength and conditioning training in order to improve overall fitness, speed, endurance and flexibility levels. Kickboxing also works on a belt system and offers tournaments throughout the year where you can qualify for regional or SA colours. Ability Academy’s Kickboxing classes are age 6 to adults. Kickboxing is not just for martial arts experts. Any person can benefit from going for a kickboxing workout routine even if he does not intend to compete in actual kickboxing tournaments. This discipline will strengthen your arms and legs, shaping them in the process. It is now widely popular as a strength workout routine among fitness enthusiasts. Our Kickboxing classes runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays (17:15 – 18:15)

Our aim in the fitness classes is to do a combination of weight training, Low Intensity Interval Training (LIIT) as well as Hi Intensity Interval Training (HIIT – shuttle sprints, kicking, push ups, etc.) to get the maximum results for each session. Whether it is boxing, circuits, taebo or weight training you are sure to never leave Ability without feeling refreshed, redefined and re- energised. Due to strict routines in our daily lives it is important to keep the training interesting but more importantly FUN. This program is for you whether fit or not and is designed to get you in the best shape. There are different packages available depending on how many times you would like to train per week. Our fitness classes run from Monday to Fridays (05:00-07:00; 08:00-09:00; 18:00 – 19:00)

Affiliated under Rio Grappling Club (International Affiliation) Jiu Jitsu is a very good self-defence and realistic system for the ladies. In this class you don’t have to be fit or strong (Obviously on competitive level being fit and conditioned will count in your favour). The technique taught in this sport focusses on using an opponent’s strength and size in your favour. So no matter how big our small, if you are tired of the usual gym program BJJ is for you. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a rapidly growing sport in South Africa and the tournaments held for this sport is getting a lot of attention. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is for any person that wants to challenge themselves in body and mind. One of the nicknames for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the “Human Chess”. It’s a sport where you have to think outside the box in order to outsmart your opponent. Our classes run from 19:00 - 20:00 on Tuesday and Thursdays

Affiliated under MASA ( Martial Arts South Africa) who is associated to SASCOC ( South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee ) Mixed Martial Arts are one of the fastest growing sports in the world therefore require a specific set of rules, regulations, discipline and restraint. MMA is a combat sport and is seen as an extreme cardiovascular workout and therefore produces high levels of endurance. There are various fighting styles like Grappling, Mauy Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, Wresting, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu etc. In this class you will get fit, conditioned and learn how to defend yourself whether on your feet or on your back. Whether you are a Mixed Martial Artist or just an MMA enthusiast, this class will keep you on your feet (or back) and challenge you mentally and physically. Our classes run from 20:00 - 21:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays
