Benefits of Learning with Regular Krav Maga Classes
Regular classes increase your chances of being able to respond effectively in danger situations. They allow you to:
- Refine your techniques,
- Retain what you’ve learned,
- Stay sharp and prepared.
While Krav Maga is not a fitness class, regular classes are also a great way to get fit and tone. Our members regularly report their fitness and strength rapidly increasing, along with impressive weight loss.
We've got 3 classes suitable for beginners to choose from. You will progress with 1 class a week but we recommend 2 classes a week for fast progress (and if you want to come to more classes, that's included in your membership for extra flexibility).

The Krav Maga Approach to Self Defence Training
You never know when you will need self defence skills so you need to be ready to react instinctively any time, any place.
As Krav Maga is a practical self-defence system developed for real-world situations. Unlike traditional martial arts, it focuses on instinctive movements, efficient techniques, and rapid threat neutralisation. In our regular Krav Maga classes you will not only learn how to defend against attacks, but you will drill these defences so you are prepared. This build confidence, and also improve fitness which are also key components of readiness.
Here's how Krav Maga classes prepare you:
