About us, masters and trainers
Motto “Mens sana in corpore sano” – “a healthy mind in a healthy body”
We gained our experience in different countries and large corporations such as Yahoo, Microsoft, Sunrise Communications, Getty Images, Walt Disney, Regus, British Telecom and many others. We found our new homeland over ten years ago in Switzerland; our passion, the martial arts, has long been our life essence. We are positive, active, like to look ahead and work hands-on.
Our range of services offers besides our daily programs for children, young people and adults, coaching and consulting for companies. In these compact training units, we show how the principles of martial arts fit into everyday life and have a positive impact on the work environment as well as on daily life.

Lucia Polatti
With passion and empathy, she supports individuals on their career and personal development journeys — particularly women who want to assert themselves and communicate their needs more effectively. Drawing on the principles and techniques of martial arts, she helps them use their voice with confidence, set clear boundaries, and trust their own strengths. It’s not just about self-defense but about cultivating inner stability, clear communication, and a strong sense of body awareness.
Her 1:1 and group coachings provide women with a solid foundation to build the confidence they need to stand up for themselves at work and in everyday life.
