Which Combat System suits me?
If you want to defend yourself in everyday life, start with Krav Maga. If weapons like the stick or the knife interest you, a Fighting Art is right for you. The system finder above recommends a system in three questions.
Can I train several Combat Systems at the same time?
Yes. All SAMI systems share the same movement principles, so they complement each other. With the Full Membership you train Krav Maga, Panantukan, Stick, Knife, and Axe in one subscription.
Do I need martial arts experience?
No. All SAMI Combat Systems start at level 1, online and at the center. You learn at your own pace.
Which systems are in the Full Membership?
Krav Maga, Panantukan, Stick, Knife, and Axe. Panantukan is also available on its own as a Single Membership. You learn the other systems like this: Core, SDS, and Karambit (Online course), SAMI-X PRO (On request), EBC (Seminars).
Can I get an official certification?
Yes. In the online course you finish every level with an exam and an official SAMI diploma. For exams at a center any membership counts: SAMI International, Single or Full Membership; some dates are only open to members of the organising center. If you want to teach, take the training to become a SAMI instructor.
