Arkadiusz Kryszewski is one of the most active instructors at Saario Academy in Poland. He holds a black belt in Defendo and is certified as both a Safe Kid and Classic Krav Maga instructor. A retired officer from one of Poland’s elite military special units, Arkadiusz brings a wealth of experience, passion, fun and expertise to his teaching.

Quality Guarantee

Defendo's strength is its team of instructors who are highly skilled in teaching. Skills at each level of advancement are only part of the requirements we set for our instructors. Equally important is the ability to teach effectively and safely.

Last Saturday, we held another Defendo Instructors' Meeting, where we discussed technical and methodological aspects of teaching at Hard Target, Combat Tech, and STAR levels.

Our quality guarantee is an instructor who systematically improves their skills and enhances their qualifications.

Istvan Nagy and Tomasz Maczuga prepared and conducted the training.

❗️ Officers of the Action Security Group ( ) from Podlasie have been improving their skills in the application of direct coercive measures. This intensive training program included techniques for using physical force, such as restraining, defence, and transport techniques, as well as handcuffs, chemical incapacitating agents, and the service baton (telescopic). The exercises covered individual skills and teamwork. The entire training was based on the Defendo Blue training program, developed by an international group of experts as part of the Saario Academy. This program is characterized by effectiveness in action, simplicity, and safety during instruction. A key advantage is the alignment of technical solutions with legal regulations. The training was prepared and conducted by Dr. Tomasz Maczuga, the coordinator of the Defendo system in Poland, who has many years of experience training uniformed services and also serves as a court expert in the field of intervention tactics and techniques.
