Train with Purpose. Live with Confidence.
Is It Suitable for You?
The Essentials course is designed for adults who are completely new to Krav Maga and self defence. You might just be wanting to learn basics self defence in a short course, but this is also a natural pathway for you to transition to our ongoing classes should you want to continue at the end.
The accompanying video course breaks down key techniques so that you can review these at home in your own time.
You don’t need to be fit, fast, or confident before you begin. The Essentials course is where those things are built — gradually, through practical training and supportive coaching — so you can move forward feeling capable rather than overwhelmed.
Many people considering self defence training feel unsure or nervous — that’s normal. The course is built to guide you step-by-step. You’ll train in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment where the focus is on practical skills you can use in real life.
Training is led by experienced instructors in a supportive, no-ego environment, with a strong focus on safety, confidence, and progressive learning.

All the other students are friendly and a joy to train with.
Highly recommend giving it a try.”
Michael
“Fantastic skills taught for real life threat scenarios and while one hopes to never have to use them in real life, it’s great to know them. It’s also a great workout with a really friendly group of people. The experienced Kravists in the class are very generous in sharing their knowledge and the instructors are great guys.”
