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.

Learn how to avoid violence

Deal with multiple attackers

Dealing with common weapon attacks

The first lesson is completely free

Here’s the truth, if you are looking to compete in a competitive or sport based martial art we aren’t for you. No hard feelings. But if you want to learn martial arts purely for self defence in a safe environment then this could be one of the best decisions of your life — the first lesson is completely free.
