What is Krav Maga & Why You Should Learn it in Auckland?

Although Auckland is a relatively safe place by international standards, there is still plenty of violent situations that occur and if you are the victim on an incident it can be a life changing experience.

So it's a good idea to have self defence skills, but there's to be effective they need to be practical to use and prepare you for real "street" situations. Also, if you are going to spend the time to learn something, you want it to be enjoyable and give you other benefits also like getting fit and building mental strength.

Introducing Krav Maga - What is it, and Why learn it in Auckland?

Krav Maga translates as "hand-to-hand combat". It is a practical "street" self-defence system. It is an effective, real-world skill set consisting of techniques and tactics that equips you to prevent, handle, and avoid violence—no matter your age, fitness level, or experience.

Krav Maga was developed by Imi Lichtenfeld who was a champion boxer and wrestler who was involved in many street fights in pre-world war 2 violence in Europe. He had to adapt his conventional training to what actually worked in street situation which might involve multiple attackers, conventional and improvised weapons.

Krav Maga has evolved incorporating influences from other systems but is superior to traditional martial arts or combat sports for self defence because it has specifically been developed for real self defence situations, which do not conform to sporting rules or traditions.

Krav Maga just gives you no-nonscence solutions to real self defence problems, increasing your chances of staying safe in real self defence situations in Auckland, New Zealand or anywhere you may need to defend yourself, your family or friends.
