What you'll learn

Every session is planned around you. Here's the ground we cover, in the order that makes sense for your level.

  1. Awareness, de-escalation and avoiding the fight
  2. A strong defensive stance and fence
  3. Simple, high-percentage strikes
  4. Escapes from grabs, chokes and holds
  5. Getting back to your feet safely
  6. Drilling under pressure so the skills stick

Good questions

Is Krav Maga safe to learn?

Yes. Training is controlled and progressive. You'll learn every technique slowly with a cooperative partner before adding any speed or pressure.

Do I need to get in shape first?

No. Self-defense is about technique and decision-making. Your fitness will improve as you train.

Can I train with my spouse or a friend?

Yes. Partner sessions are one of the best ways to train self-defense.
