Kapap Combative Concepts Highwood, Highwood

The word “KAPAP” is derived from the Hebrew acronym for fearsome, face-to-face combat. Operating under the umbrella of the international KAPAP Academies, Kapap Combative Concepts helps mold students in the skills of modern, real-world combat. A staff of veteran instructors trains up-and-coming MMA fighters alongside first-time students learning self-defense techniques. The gym’s core KAPAP class teaches practical fighting skills similar to krav maga, infused with elements of boxing, judo, and Japanese slappy-hands. Instructors also teach submission grappling, muay thai, and kickboxing skills, and lead dedicated sessions in women’s self-defense. The gym’s combat-fitness classes help build better bodies through a rigorous, boot-camp-style environment that works indoors and outdoors while challenging strength, endurance, and flexibility.
