Kalah Basics Courses
The Kalah Basics Course is an ideal starting point if you’re seeking a comprehensive understanding of the Kalah Combat System’s foundational principles. Despite Kalah’s simplicity, it’s not to be mistaken for ease. Its simplicity contributes to its effectiveness; under stress, there’s no room to ponder over the angle of an incoming attack or consider multiple response options.
In the Kalah Basics Course, the focus is on equipping you with essential skills to counteract common attacks. Over six weekly sessions, each lasting three hours, you’ll engage in rigorous training. The course covers basic defense strategies against a range of threats – from knife attacks and gun threats to chokes, holds, grabs, and punches. We’ll also touch upon some ground situations.
Upon course completion, your acquired skills and knowledge will be put to the ultimate test. This experience will give you a sense of what it’s like to truly fight for your survival, instilling confidence in your newfound capabilities. Engage in the Kalah Basics Course and embark on your journey towards mastering realistic self-defense.
The Kalah Basics Course is accessible to all. We encourage prospective participants to attend one of our complimentary Open Introduction Seminars to determine if the Kalah approach aligns with their self-defense training needs. Check out our event calendar for upcoming courses.

Kalah Instructor Preparation Course
The Kalah Instructor Preparation Course offered by Kalah Amsterdam is your express pathway to the Kalah Combat Instructor Course. We design a personalized training plan to ready you for one of the most intense weeks you’re likely to encounter.
To be considered for the role of a Kalah Combat Instructor, a minimum of two years’ worth of weekly training equivalent is required. Through our Kalah Instructor Preparation Course, this extensive training is compacted into a shorter timeframe. This rigorous journey will require immense dedication and may even push you to your physical and emotional limits, but this level of intensive preparation is crucial for tackling the subsequent Instructors Course, often referred to as “Hell Week”.
