The Journey Behind Bittan Academy

Bittan Academy was built on discipline, integrity, and a commitment to excellence.

Founded by Patrick Bittan, a 6th Dan Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and 5th Dan Krav Maga master, the academy was created with one mission: to develop strong, confident individuals through authentic martial arts training.

With decades of experience across Europe and internationally, Patrick has trained champions, instructors, and hundreds of students who now carry the values of martial arts into their everyday lives.

Every student who walks through our doors becomes part of that legacy.
