"I've been training Krav Maga under lead instructors Dave and Andrea for over 2 years, and I must say - these guys are amazing! Dave is a true professional with lots of ratings in self-defence and Krav Maga under his belt; he is also the IKMF Canada director, which says a lot.

 

All classes are extremely friendly and open to students, yet very intense in terms of the physical activity, which is exactly what I was looking for. All classes are structured to provide various Krav techniques to students according to their levels with the goal to progress on the IKMF scale. If you are searching for a reliable self-defence course and want to boost your confidence, look no further! Highly recommended!"

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Skills you'll build from Day One

Our Adult Beginner Classes follow the official IKMF Krav Maga Practitioner 1 (P1) curriculum, giving you real-world skills you can use immediately while building a strong foundation in movement, awareness, avoidance and confidence. Here’s a look at what we’ll cover: • Stances & Movement – positioning and moving under pressure. • Falling & Recovery – fall safely, get up fast. • Striking Fundamentals – punches, kicks, elbows, knees, palms, hammers. • Defenses vs. Common Attacks – straight punches, slaps, hooks. • Weapon Defenses – knife threats and attacks. • Choke & Headlock Escapes – including ground defenses. • Everyday Object Defenses – using items like a purse or bag. • Multiple Attackers – survival tactics against groups. • Awareness & Fear Management – stay calm, spot danger, act decisively. • Distance & Options – tactics based on attacker’s range. And much more — all taught in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment where you’ll build both skill and confidence from day one.

WHY CHOOSE US

What sets our training apart

1. Training Treated as a Serious Responsibility We take this work seriously because lives are at stake. We teach what has been proven to work under pressure and prepare students to apply their skills the moment they walk out the door. We don’t guess. We don’t improvise. We teach what works. 2. A Safe Training Environment We will never put students at unnecessary risk through reckless training methods. Injuries on the mat reduce your ability to defend yourself in the real world. Our priority is keeping you safe while building real capability. 3. Structured Stress Inoculation Training We use structured, progressive stress inoculation—building controlled pressure step-by-step so you can stay calm, think clearly, and perform when it actually matters. 4. Two IKMF-Certified Instructors in Every Class Every class is led by two International Krav Maga Federation-certified instructors, allowing for constant correction, encouragement, and a higher standard of safety for all students. 5. Intentionally Small Class Sizes We keep classes small so every student receives individual coaching and never gets lost in a crowded room. Quality instruction requires attention, correction, and care. 6. One Focused, Proven System—Taught in Depth We teach Krav Maga as it was designed: a complete, cohesive system. By focusing on one proven methodology, students avoid confusion from conflicting techniques or principles from multiple systems and develop clarity they can rely on under stress. 7. Real-World Context, Not Just Technique Training goes beyond physical movements. We emphasize understanding real-world situations, human behaviour, and decision-making—because knowing when and how to act matters just as much as knowing what to do. 8. Depth of Instruction You Can Trust We are proud to have the largest Krav Maga instruction team in Canada, with instructors ranked G1–G5 and certified across multiple advanced IKMF programs. This depth ensures consistency, continuity, and a high standard of instruction across every class. 9. Ongoing Instructor Development & Mentorship Our instructors are continually training, certifying, and advancing within the IKMF system. They are mentored, challenged, and held to high standards in their own technique and their instruction methods—so you can trust that your instruction reflects current best practices, not outdated habits.

"Andrea and her team really know their stuff. They are excellent teachers, and their classes are super engaging. I've had to use some of what they taught me in the real world, and I was extremely glad to have those tools in my toolbox. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn how to defend themselves or just for a good workout."

"Exceptional self-defence training by nationally recognized leadership—professional, welcoming, and confidence-building for all levels. TalonPoint Defence, led by Dave and Andrea Suffern and supported by an incredible team, delivers outstanding, real-world training that builds confidence, awareness, and calm under pressure. I’ve had the privilege of being trained by them and deeply admire their competence, professionalism, humility, and care.

If you’ve ever considered self-defence or martial arts, this is an excellent place for you and your loved ones to begin. The team is thoughtfully balanced with both men and women, creating an environment where anyone can show up, feel accommodated, and build confidence at their own pace. Training is challenging in the right ways—energizing, empowering, and genuinely enjoyable—without ever feeling intimidating.

It’s a great way to blow off steam, meet good people, get into (or stay in) shape, and learn effective self-defence from professionals who care deeply about doing things the right way. An excellent place for individuals, families, and professionals seeking real-world self-defence in a balanced, supportive environment."
