WHAT IS KRAV MAGA?

Krav Maga, meaning ‘Close Combat’ in Hebrew was developed in Israel and is regarded by many as one of the best self-defence systems available. It is a practical and logical self-defence system that’s been tried and tested in real-life situations. Unlike traditional martial arts, Krav Maga has no sporting or stylised elements to it, and evolves in response to the nature of violence our societies face.

Krav Maga is based on the adaptation of our natural responses through principle-based learning, making it easy to learn so that you can acquire skills to deal with stressful, unpredictable or even violent situations. As such Krav Maga is suitable for all, regardless of gender, size, strength, fitness level, or experience.

Through our unique training methods, Krav Maga equips you with the tools needed to make better decisions in self-defence situations, and to be prepared for anything that is likely to happen on the street. What’s more, it’s a great way to improve your fitness levels, self-confidence and make new friends.
