CADRE Academy teaches integrated Jiujitsu - The 2025 evolution of Israeli Jiujitsu by Grandmaster Avi Nardia. A System that helps kids, teens, and adults become Rooted, Refined and ready for real-world challenges.
Defend Yourself. Defend Your Loved Ones.
The CADRE 3-D Framework:
Discover. Discern. Deploy
Self Defense isn't just about techniques - It's about thinking, awareness and appropriate action
Discover - Your responsibility, rationale and resource for self defense that you never knew existed
Discern - the myths, threats, triggers and distractions to act with clarity
Deploy - apply the right skills calmly and effectively under pressure to face life's challenges
This is how we prepare children for resilience, and adults for readiness.

Kids & Teens Program
Confidence. Discipline. Resilience.
Our kids classes are unique. We are the only school in Singapore that does safe scenario based training and include a structured and intentional character development component.
- Cubs (4–8 years old): Fun foundations in focus, balance, and respect.
- Tigers (9–13 years old): Practical self-defense with optional Sport Jiujitsu.
- Teens (13+ years old): No separate “teen class.” Instead, teens are placed into Tigers or Adults depending on their physical ability, psychological maturity, and emotional readiness.
This ensures each student gets the right balance of challenge and support.
Adults program
Practical. Adaptable. Future-Ready.
- Integrated Jiujitsu Core: Self-defense across all ranges.
- Machado BJJ Pathway: Potential BJJ ranking under the Machado lineage.
