Master Combat Sports & Self-Defense

X-Fight Academy of combat sport & self-defense, is a stand-up fights mixed martial arts training center started in 2021 at Malelane, Mpumalanga, South Africa. In the academy, we provide classes for TAE KWON DO (World Taekwondo Federation & Chang Moo Kwan), JEET KUNE DO CONCEPTS, and KRAV MAGA fighting techniques. Our Academy distinguishes itself by offering a combination of martial arts and combat systems, as well as teaching life skills to participants. Coach Cibi John Francis started the academy, and as both an educator and life coach, he holds certification from Transformation Academy, UK. X-Fight Academy of Combat Sports & Self Defence is instrumental in learning martial arts for all age groups and gender. Especially to learn self defence which is one of the derivatives of martial arts. With the team of qualified trainers trained in India and abroad and well a equipped academy, we provide training with a different approach.

“We believe that Martial Arts is just not a training of our body but more of our mind”

Our combat training styles:
  • TAE KWON DO (WTF & Chang Moo Kwan)
  • JEET KUNE DO CONCEPTS
  • KRAV MAGA DEFENSE TRAININGS
  • KICK BOXING

In our mixed martial arts style, we use the stand-up fight concept. In addition, we provide training sessions for grappling and groundwork that are specifically designed for self-defense. We teach each martial art style in a systematic way, but the ultimate goal is to develop a unique fighting method. The name we give to this concept is X-FIGHT DEFENSE TRAINING (XDT). However, it is not a distinct style or technique. You learn the X-Fight system of fighting until you find your own unique fighting approach. Our students are taught respect and behavior as part of our training.

“Our approach is not limited to one specific style or method, but rather to teach you how to fight using various fighting styles, with the option to choose the best fit for you.”
Dr. Cibi John Francis
