Self-defense, krav maga basics and Combat 56
Combat Wilanów
Combat Wilanów is a self-defense class. We teach the basics of two close-combat systems: krav maga and Combat 56.
Krav maga is a self-defense system that began in Israel. Combat 56 is a Polish close-combat system. It began in the early 1990s in the 56th Special Company. Both favor simple movements over elaborate technique.
There is no sporting competition and no points in this class. We work in pairs, under the coach's eye. The pace and the force of contact rise gradually.

The coach's experience
The class is led by Mirosław Okniński. Over forty years in combat sports.
He has many years of training cooperation with Major Arkadiusz Kups, creator of Combat 56. On the 30th anniversary of his work on the system, its creator thanked the coach with a commemorative plaque.
From September 2004 he ran weekly sessions for the instructors of the police intervention team at the Police Training Center in Legionowo.
