History

Established in 2012.

Apolaki Krav Maga & Dirty Boxing is an explosive and dynamic street defence system. We are dedicated to teaching practical personal safety and effective tools against real-​life situations.

The foundation of our system is traditional Krav Maga, but through cross-​training in other systems such as Kapap, Boxing, Filipino martial arts, Muay Thai, Pencak Silat, Jeet Kune Do and No-​Gi submission wrestling, Kelina has created something very special that she wants to share with you. With our own syllabus and grading system, the Apolaki Krav Maga & Dirty Boxing® system is constantly evolving and improving, as any street survival system should be!
