To Honor the Past. To Teach with Truth. To Shape the Future.
There are moments that say everything — without a single word.
In this image, we see more than a diploma being handed over.
We see the past placing its trust in the future.
A master recognizing, with deep respect, the value of one who is just beginning.
A gesture of humility, continuity, and mission.
Our school brings together generations, abilities, and life stories.
Children, youth, and adults — beginners or veterans — share the same mat, guided by one purpose:
to preserve, with truth and respect, the original art created by Imi.
Just as no one has the right to alter a work by Shakespeare, Michelangelo, or Homer,
no one should fragment the legacy of Krav Maga.
Here, the essence is sacred.
We do not seek shortcuts. We do not compromise principles.
We teach Krav Maga as it was meant to be: with integrity, precision, and soul.
Our mission is clear:
to protect and propagate the truth, the beauty, and the integrity of this martial art — as it was intended.
Because this is not just about self-defense.
It’s about shaping character.
Passing on a legacy.
Keeping a truth alive.
As long as there are those who teach with humility,
there will always be those who rise with honor.
At Bukan School of Krav Maga, we believe Krav Maga is more than just a martial art. It’s a path to personal growth, self-awareness, and inner strength. Our mission is to form stronger individuals, not just practitioners.

Beyond Physical Training
Every class is designed not only to teach self-defense but to build confidence, discipline, and resilience. Krav Maga challenges your body and sharpens your mind. More than reacting to threats, you learn to stay calm, think clearly, and act with responsibility.
-
A Philosophy of Growth
Our training is rooted in a philosophy of balance – between mind, body, and values. Respect, humility, and self-control are as important as technique. Our instructors guide students to grow beyond the mat, helping them become more aware, focused, and confident in everyday life.
-
Real-Life Impact
Krav Maga transforms how you face life. It develops self-protection, mental clarity, and emotional strength. You’ll learn to overcome fear, set boundaries, and make smart decisions under pressure.

Meet your instructor
Hi! My name is Thiago — I’m a certified instructor from the Bukan School of Krav Maga and the official representative of the school here in Poland.
I was born and raised in Brazil, but I also have Italian roots. From a young age, I was surrounded by martial arts culture, which eventually became a true passion for Krav Maga.
My goal is to share the powerful and traditional Bukan system here in Poland and help you train with real purpose — whether you want to build confidence, improve physical fitness, or learn effective self-defense.
On the mat and beyond, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let’s train with passion, discipline, and loyalty to the essence of Krav Maga.
I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish — and a little bit Polish... 😀
Still learning!
