Full Contact started in 2021 in a 3x3-meter rented room. Three moves later it's the beachfront flagship at Darah Mall: three halls, eight disciplines, specialist coaches. But it's still a room you can walk into off the street and train your first class for free.

Full Contact was born out of a clear ambition: to build the undisputed premier martial arts academy in the Middle East, setting a standard that rivals the best gyms in the world.
My martial arts path began at nine years old the moment I first stepped onto a karate mat. What started as childhood training quickly forged into a lifelong obsession with combat, discipline, and the pursuit of physical mastery.
Over decades of dedicated practice, I earned my 4th Dan Black Belt in Kyokushin Karate under Master Hussein from Lebanon, developing the grit and conditioning that define full-contact fighting.
To expand my combat vision, I immersed myself across multiple disciplines and international training grounds. I earned a Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, grounded my grappling through competitive wrestling, and honed mixed martial arts skills through relentless training in Kazakhstan and Perth, Australia.
Competing on global stages, from elite mats in Japan to international battlegrounds across Central Asia, tested my limits and instilled a deep respect for authentic combat culture.
The academy started in a modest, 3x3-meter rented room. With minimal space but unmatched determination, the foundation of our training culture was laid.
Demand surged, leading to our first medium-sized facility where over 180 dedicated athletes trained under one roof.
We expanded into a massive 1,000 m² facility, upgrading our training grounds to support elite striking, grappling, and conditioning.
We opened our landmark beachfront facility at Darah Mall. Overlooking the ocean, this state-of-the-art academy stands as the pinnacle of martial arts in Kuwait and the wider region.
Every discipline is led by a coach with a real competition record in that art. No one teaching a sport they only read about. Specialists only, across all eight disciplines.

First-timers and pros share the same floor. Kids, beginners, hobbyists and fighters. Different sessions, same standards. You are never the only new person in the room.

We spar hard but we leave it on the mat. Control over chaos, position over panic, the long career over the short highlight. Check your ego at the door.
