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:
Master Krav Maga fighting techniques and tactics for realistic self defence scenarios.
Quickly improve your fitness with dynamic and fast paced drills.
Increase mental resilience and confidence
