Krav Maga, “קרב מגע”, is a practical self-defence system. It gives you the tools to survive violent assaults. You learn self-defence principles rather than memorizing techniques. This allows you to adapt to the dynamics of real-life situations. You don’t have to be strong, fit, or experienced. Krav Maga is effective for people of any age, size or fitness level
“Necessity is the mother of invention”. Imi Lichtenfeld created Krav Maga in the 1930s to survive violence in Bratislava. He developed it when he moved to Israel in 1948 until his passing in 1998. Krav Maga continues to evolve to meet modern challenges.
It is natural to be a little nervous and excited before your first Krav Maga. We are fortunate to attract students who are very welcoming and friendly. Here are some things to expect, know, and bring.
Please bring workout clothes (t-shirt, long shorts or pants), indoor running shoes, and water. Men should bring groin protection (just in case).
The format of our classes is consistent. Here is an overview of a typical one-hour class:(15 mins warm up, 30 mins technical practice, 15 mins review).
