What is
Krav Maga
Developed by the Israeli military and used by police forces, security and military units Krav Maga is a no-nonsense martial art that has been adapted for civilians…
It is a collection of the best techniques from other martial arts such as:
- MMA
- Kickboxing/Mauy Thai
- Grappling
But instead of the focus being on sport and competition it is on realistic self defence.
It covers important aspects that are usually left out when talking about sport or competition:
- How to deal with confrontation and avoid violence
- How to deal with multiple attackers
- How to target harden yourself and avoid being targeted.
