FUNCTIONAL FITNESS +
MARTIAL ARTS
Building an exclusive global community of new-generation practitioners leaning into fitness and resilience, who represent the ultimate contemporary evolution of the heritage martial arts.
It ALL STARTS WITH INITIATE
AKD :project is open to anybody, but it is definitely not for everybody... This is a community that you have to earn your place in - put simply, you can't just jump in on the lifestyle without doing the work.
The entry point to the AKD :project world is INITIATE, our foundational 12-week programme, and this is what creates the common thread that binds our entire community. So, whether you’re stepping in as a complete beginner, a seasoned hybrid athlete, a marathon runner, a gym bro, or even an experienced black belt, this is where it all begins.
If you want access to all the good stuff (like the right to wear AKD :project kit, join community events, unlock limited drops) and to train with us beyond INITIATE, then graduating is your key.
No shortcuts. No egos. No exceptions.
TRAINING THAT HITS DIFFERENT
Call it martial arts. Just call it training. Whatever.
But don’t call it ordinary.
AKD :project is where real-world combat skill meets modern physicality. It’s fitness with proper intention and movement that holds up under pressure - backed up by a mindset that doesn’t clock out when the workouts end.
Anyone can train to be strong, fast, and fit, but when it counts - really counts - can you stay composed?
Can you respond when things go off-script?
This is where contemporary performance meets heritage readiness. Where form, function, and focus collide, and not just in the gym or on the mat either, but in real life.
Whether this is your entry into martial arts or your new way to train for the long haul, reset your training here.
