Full analysis
Overview
This is the public website of Besançon Self-Défense, presenting Neurostrike Kapap Krav-Maga training through course information, schedules, pricing, instructor credentials, trial classes, workshops, and contact facilities; its apparent business model is a local self-defense and martial-arts club funded by memberships and paid instruction.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed. The site presents an ordinary local-services model rather than an investment, financial, or credential-harvesting operation, and the available page analysis identified no phishing, impersonation, malicious-form, or suspicious behavioral indicators. The apparent legitimacy of the service is supported by substantive course-related content and linked social presence, although the real-world operator identity remains likely rather than independently verified.
- The homepage is classified as a local club and course landing page, with no detected login form, hidden form, or sensitive-data submission mechanism.
- Page analysis identified no red flags, no brand-impersonation indicators, and no crypto-related or wallet-connection activity.
- The domain registration record shows creation on 2016-09-08T10:16:40Z and an age of 9.96 years.
- The homepage links to Facebook and YouTube profiles associated with the club’s public presence.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site’s apparent legitimacy is evidence-consistent, but its legal and regulatory status should not be treated as independently established. The public content does not present a license claim, licensing authority, or registration number; for a local training service, this is a transparency and applicability question rather than evidence of a scam. The available external reputation checks did not identify malicious activity, and no matching broker-reputation record was found; these are contextual signals, not legal or licensing determinations. The site also has limited formal web-authority and structured metadata, which is consistent with a small local organization but does not establish corporate identity.
- The public-facing pages identify the service by the operating name “Besançon Self Défense - Neurostrike Kapap Krav-Maga,” without presenting a license number or licensing authority.
- The domain is registered through OVH, with creation date 2016-09-08T10:16:40Z and expiration date 2026-09-08T10:16:40Z.
- Hosting is provided by OVH - OVH SAS, FR, on AS16276.
- The site’s TLS certificate is issued by YE1 at DV validation level and is valid through 2026-10-24T00:24:58+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before a credential or payment interaction, the operator name shown on the site should be matched against an appropriate independent business or association register, where applicable. Course cancellation, refund, and payment-protection terms should be confirmed through the site’s legal or commercial information and, for material payments, through the payment provider or an independently obtained contact channel.
- The site publishes course pricing, membership information, and contact details relevant to a merchant-identity and payment review.
- The public content provides instructor and course information that can be compared with independently obtained local references.
- The applicable legal or registration status is not specified through a license number or licensing authority on the reviewed pages.
Summary Verdict
The website has a high-trust, low-risk posture and is apparently legitimate on the evidence available. Its established presentation and absence of contradictory threat or impersonation signals support normal browsing and ordinary service evaluation, while the operator’s real-world identity remains not independently verified.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site benefits from CDN/WAF protection, and all observed addresses were associated with edge infrastructure rather than an identified origin candidate. This reduces direct exposure of the underlying service and is a mitigating technical control, not proof of legitimacy.
- The infrastructure reports two observed edge addresses: 2001:41d0:301::20 and 46.105.204.20.
- Both observed addresses are associated with AS16276 and the OVH hosting environment in France.
- The site’s transport encryption uses a DV certificate issued by YE1, valid until 2026-10-24T00:24:58+00:00.
Closing Assessment
Ordinary use is proportionate to the available evidence, with independent merchant-identity, cancellation-policy, and payment-protection checks completed before entering credentials or making a material payment.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about besancon-self-defense.fr at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
