Protect Yourself with Confidence with Practical Self Defence Training

What is Krav Maga?

Krav Maga is a modern self-defence system focused on practical defence skills that work in real life — not competition or sport.

In our classes you will learn practical techniques and tactics to be more prepared and confident in situations where you may face aggression or violence.

Why Krav Maga is the Best Self Defence System to Learn in Auckland

Self Defence Designed for Real Life

  • Krav Maga is designed specifically for real self defence. It prepares you with practical techniques and proven tactics for situations you may realistically face in Auckland, including verbal confrontation, aggressive behaviour, and physical threats.
  • Whether your goal is to feel safer, build fitness with purpose, or develop genuine self-defence capability, you will learn skills that work under pressure.
  • Krav Maga does not rely on strength or size, which makes it effective for adults of all ages, sexes, body types and fitness levels.

Krav Maga Global teaches effective, practical fighting skills — but always with a clear purpose.

You’ll learn effective and powerful fighting techniques — not for sport or performance, but to support your safety and decision-making in everyday life.

That combination of physical skill and calm awareness helps you be more confident, more capable, and better able to handle challenging situations without panic.

Confidence Through Preparation — That’s Krav Maga.

Who is this Training Best Suitable For?

  • This training is especially well suited for you if you are interested in learning practical self defence skills that prepare you for real situations whether that is street, work or home.
  • You may not primarily be interested in fighting but want skills to both avoid or deescalate trouble before it gets physical, but also the confidence of knowing that if it does get physical you have tried and tested defensive techniques that work to respond effectively.
  • You may be new to martial arts, feeling cautious about training, or returning to exercise later in life.
  • You may have some previous martial arts experience but are looking for something that is self defence rather than sport or tradition focused.
  • Many people start here because they want practical self-defence skills without the pressure, ego, or competitiveness that can come with some training environments. You don’t need to be fit, fast, or confident to begin. Those things tend to develop naturally over time.
  • If you’re looking for a supportive place to learn real-world self-defence at your own pace — in a structured, controlled, and respectful environment — this style of training is designed with you in mind.

Gain the Confidence to Act Under Pressure & Avoid Conflict

Training Builds Judgement — not just technique

Real-world safety isn’t about reacting quickly at any cost. It’s about making good decisions under pressure.

That’s why training includes:

  • Awareness and early recognition of risk
  • Verbal boundaries and de-escalation
  • Creating space and exiting safely
  • Physical techniques as a last line of defence

The goal is is not to fight but to protect yourself and minimise harm.

Confidence Reduces Conflict

When you are trained and capable, you are able to:

  • Stay calmer in tense moments
  • Communicate more clearly
  • Set firmer boundaries
  • Avoid situations escalating unnecessarily

Many members find that learning physical skills actually helps them avoid physical conflict — because confidence changes how they carry themselves and respond.

This is what makes Krav Maga suitable for people in customer-facing roles, professional environments, and everyday life.

What is Krav Maga Training Like?

Krav Maga training emphasises what matters most in real situations: situational awareness, decision-making, stress control, and simple, effective movements that hold up when adrenaline is high.

Training includes learning defensive techniques along with tactics for controlling danger, creating distance, and creating opportunities to escape safely.

Classes also include conditioning drills that improve fitness, endurance, coordination, and agility, while strengthening mental resilience and self-confidence — skills that carry over into everyday life.


No experience is required. You’ll be coached step by step, trained at the right pace, and supported as your confidence grows — both mentally and physically.

How we Train at Krav Maga Auckland — Step by Step

At Krav Maga Global in Auckland, our training is designed for real people living real, busy lives — not ideal conditions or sporting environments.

Krav Maga training follows a structured, progressive approach, so skills are learned clearly and applied calmly in real-world situations.

We begin with core Krav Maga self-defence skills that are simple, effective, and designed to work under stress — without relying on strength, fitness, or previous training.

As those foundations develop, we introduce tactical understanding:

  • awareness, distance management, positioning, and safer decision-making under pressure.

Training for real situations, not just techniques

Rather than focusing only on movements, training reflects the full timeline of a real-world situation — the way things actually unfold.

That includes:

  • Noticing and avoiding problems early
  • De-escalating situations wherever possible
  • Using physical self-defence only when there’s no safer option
  • Creating space to disengage, escape, and get home safely

Scenarios are grounded in everyday environments people move through across Auckland — with an emphasis on staying safe, aware, and responsible.

You’ll also learn how to act within New Zealand law, how to break contact appropriately, and what to do once a situation has ended.

A supportive way to learn Krav Maga

Training is always:

  • Controlled and clearly explained
  • Adapted to different experience levels
  • Respectful of personal limits
  • Focused on understanding and good decision-making

The aim is steady, practical progress — without pressure.
