Top-Class MMA Fighter Teaches Street-Applicable
Striking & Grappling WS Confirmed for Sunday 4/13!
|
Until last year, he competed in the UFC, and is currently in Japan to participate in the Kyokushin Karate World Championship on April 27. He is the Israel-born MMA fighter Natan Levy. Recently, he met with Julian Littleton, which led to the sudden decision to hold a Natan-led workshop at MagaGym!

This elite MMA fighter, Natan, will explain and teach how to apply MMA striking (boxing & kicks) and grappling (wrestling & jiu-jitsu) in real-world scenarios. It’s a perfect opportunity to learn about self-defense from an MMA perspective!
- Controlling distance and striking against an opponent
- Ground control in a street setting rather than cage or wall-based scenarios
- How to convert MMA position control into practical self-defense strategies
You can clearly see the differences between typical training and real-life situations.

MagaGym Staff Comment
“We had a meeting with Natan recently. He is known worldwide as a top fighter, and at first, we were a bit nervous because of his formidable appearance. However, once we met, we found him extremely humble and gracious, a genuinely kind and respectful person—this was truly surprising in the best way.
He first arrived in Japan at 16 to learn karate in Okinawa, adopting not only the techniques but also the spirit of Japanese martial arts. We were very impressed to hear that he had always dreamed of fighting in a Japanese ring since childhood.”
We look forward to your participation!
