Krav Maga was born on the battlefield and has been proven over the last 40 years in many areas of conflict, including civilian, law enforcement, security and military all over the world.

Krav Maga is meant to keep you safe in real life. It works on the street, with ANY form of attack (such as style of martial art, number of attackers, or types of weapons), to immediately stop the dangerous behaviour and get to safety as quickly as possible.

Krav Maga is not just about physical technique. It includes the mindset, situational awareness and tactical positioning to first avoid entering a dangerous situation, and if one cannot be avoided, to strategize on the best approach to exit with the best possible outcome.

Most people don't have years to learn a new system of self-defence. Within one class you can learn the key basics, and walk out with just a little more confidence. Of course you won't be a ninja right away, but with dedicated practice, you can be proficient in hours rather than years.

The general approach and philosophy is based on principles that are timeless and true, such as 200% defence, and leveraging the natural, instinctive movements of the body. These always supercede any formulated series of techniques, which is why it is not a martial art.

Krav Maga is intended to be used and adapted regardless of any age, body type, size, gender or physical limitation.

Krav Maga develops the mindset necessary to effectively prevail against violence and not be a victim. It grows your confidence in knowing what to do in potentially violent situations.

Krav Maga is easy to learn and works in cooperation with your body's natural reflexes. It is based upon simple principles that can be used in any dangerous situation rather than complex technique.
