About Gendai

Training That Actually Works

Gendai Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu is a martial arts school based at Fight Family Gym in Kielpin, Łomianki — just northwest of Warsaw. We teach the internationally recognised Gendai Ryu system, a modern curriculum that blends Krav Maga and Jiu-Jitsu into one of the most complete real-world self-defence systems in the world.

Our approach is practical, inclusive, and results-driven. Whether you are seeking genuine self-defence capability, improved fitness, or mastering a martial art grounded in decades of development — you will be trained properly, progressively, and with full commitment from day one.

No experience needed. No ego tolerated. Every student, regardless of size, fitness, or background, is given the same quality of coaching and attention.

The Curriculum

The Gendai Ryu System

Gendai Ryu — literally "Modern System" — is built around five core pillars that cover every range of real-world conflict. No sport rules. No wasted movement. Just what works.

01

Self-Defence

Practical techniques for real-world situations — awareness, decision-making, and effective action under genuine pressure. The foundation of everything.

02

Striking

Stand-up fighting skills from boxing and Muay Thai. Build timing, movement, and effective striking capability you can actually use.

03

Clinch

Close-range control using Muay Thai, Judo, Wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu. Manage pressure and dominate position at short range.

04

Jiu-Jitsu

Ground defence integrating Japanese and Brazilian systems. Develop escapes, control, submissions, and composure when the fight moves to the floor.

05

Weapons

Understand and respond to armed threats — knives, blunt objects, improvised weapons — as part of a complete and honest self-defence curriculum.

What We Offer

Our Classes

Focused adult programmes for people with zero prior experience through to seasoned martial artists.

Krav Maga

The battle-tested self-defence system at the core of Gendai Ryu. Practical, instinctive techniques built for real-world situations — not tournaments. Learn to read danger, react under pressure, and protect yourself and others with confidence.

All Levels Welcome

Jiu-Jitsu

The art of yielding to overcome. Develop ground control, joint locks, throws, and submissions in a disciplined environment. Build technique and composure when the fight changes range — one of the most important and under-trained aspects of self-defence.

All Levels Welcome

Women's Self-Defence

A dedicated programme empowering women with practical, realistic self-protection skills. Awareness, de-escalation, and effective physical techniques — delivered in a safe, focused environment built specifically to serve and empower female students.

Women Only

Fitness & Conditioning

Combat-based conditioning that builds genuine functional fitness. Strength, endurance, agility, and coordination — developed through martial arts-inspired training that is far more engaging than a gym machine and far more useful in real life.

All Levels Welcome

Corporate & Professional Training

Security awareness training and defensive tactics delivered to companies, security professionals, law enforcement, and individuals. Taught by a certified Close Protection Officer with 10+ years of real operational experience — not a classroom theory course.

Your Instructor

Trained to Teach

Richard Harman is a 3rd Dan Black Belt in Gendai Ryu Krav Maga and Jiu-Jitsu and a Brown Belt in Dennis Hisardut Jiu-Jitsu — the combat system developed by Dr Dennis Hanover, the same lineage that shaped the Gendai Ryu curriculum. With over 20 years of active training and instructing, Richard has dedicated his life to mastering systems that work in the real world, not on a competition mat.

Beyond the martial arts, Richard is a certified Close Protection Officer and Instructor with over 10 years of operational experience in professional security environments. This real-world background is not a footnote — it fundamentally shapes how he teaches. Every technique, every drill, every principle taught at Gendai has been pressure-tested in genuine high-stakes contexts.

Richard also specialises in security awareness training and defensive tactics for companies, security professionals, law enforcement, and individuals. If your organisation needs practical, credible, and immediately applicable training — this is not a gym instructor running a workshop. This is a working professional with operational depth behind every lesson.

As the official Head Coach and Representative for Gendai Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu in Poland, Richard is the country's direct link to the international Gendai Ryu network under Dr Gavriel Schneider. He brings that same elite-level instruction to a local, welcoming school just outside Warsaw — where complete beginners train alongside professionals, and everyone is held to the same standard of honest, effective technique.

"Krav Maga is not about fighting — it's about never having to. We train hard so that real life is safer, and approached with complete confidence."

— Richard Harman, Gendai KM & Jiu-Jitsu
Our System

Gendai Ryu Poland

Gendai Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu Łomianki is part of the international Gendai Ryu network. Richard Harman is the official Head Coach and Representative for Gendai Ryu Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu in Poland — directly connected to the system founded and led by Dr Gavriel Schneider.

Dr Gavriel Schneider began training in South Africa in the early 1980s, earning black belts across Shotokan and Goju Ryu Karate, Ninjitsu, Taekwondo, and Dennis Survival Jiu-Jitsu. In 1996, he became a live-in student of Dr Dennis Hanover — founder of the Hisardut system — training up to 12 hours a day.

He had the privilege of training under Imi Lichtenfeld, the founder of Krav Maga, as well as legendary instructors including Dan Inosanto. These formative experiences shaped the Gendai Ryu philosophy: a modern, integrated system that draws the best from multiple disciplines and discards what does not work under real pressure.

Dr Schneider holds a PhD in Defensive Tactics Training Methodology and has trained elite military units, presidential and royal protection teams, and counter-terrorism police forces across Israel and South Africa. He holds international firearms certifications from the Israel Shooting Association.

As Director for Australia and New Zealand for the Federation of Israeli Martial Arts (FIMA), Dr Schneider continues to develop and certify instructors globally. His Gendai Ryu system has been described as "Krav Maga on Steroids" — a complete, honest, real-world curriculum that integrates Krav Maga, Jiu-Jitsu, Ninjitsu, and combat disciplines into one cohesive pathway.

Corporate & Professional Training

Professional Security Training

Operational security training for organisations and professionals — delivered by a certified Close Protection Officer with 10+ years of real-world experience.

Most corporate self-defence training is delivered by gym instructors with no real-world security background. Richard Harman is different — everything he teaches is grounded in over a decade of operational Close Protection work, not theory.

Training is customised to your organisation's specific environment, threat profile, and staff capability. Whether you need a one-day security awareness session or an extended defensive tactics programme — it is built around what you actually need.
