Krav Maga London in Battersea
Krav Maga London runs practical self-defence classes in Battersea at Latchmere Leisure Centre. The training is suitable for complete beginners as well as people with previous martial arts or combat sports experience.
The classes focus on real-world self-protection, not sport fighting or fitness trends. You will learn striking, movement, awareness, escapes, defence under pressure and how to deal with common threats in a realistic but controlled training environment.
Our approach is structured, direct and progressive. You do not need to be fit, aggressive or experienced before you start. The purpose of the training is to help you build skill, confidence and the ability to respond under stress.

Krav Maga London Fundamentals Programme
If you are new to Krav Maga, the best place to start is our structured Fundamentals programme. The programme covers the core skills you need before moving into more advanced training.
You will learn basic movement, striking, defensive reactions, escapes, ground survival and how to stay calm under pressure. Each class builds on the previous material, so you are not just copying techniques — you are developing usable self-defence skills.
Most people who join us start with no experience. The training is challenging, but the progression is clear and the atmosphere is supportive.
