Why Combat

The idea of the training is to keep the sessions dynamic and to gradually provide a good physical and mental understanding of what a real threat or attack might feel like.

Krav Maga is a self defence system which is about developing confidence and skills not only to defend but also to counterattack and gain the mindset of a fighter rather than feel like a victim.

Krav Maga is used to train everyday people to become proficient in hand-to-hand combat in a short period of time. The system comes from a military mindset that is all about survival. It’s not an a choreography like other martial arts. It’s about making quick and effective strikes when there is simply no time for fancy movements.

Students are taught how to defend themselves against common chokes, grabs, bear hugs, hair pulls and other attacks often used by larger, stronger aggressors. Teaching includes dealing with sticks, knives and fire arms threats and attacks. Sessions also include boxing, ground fighting drills and grappling to build endurance and technique on ground.

Personal Trainer

An amazing well detailed session learning the basics of Krav Maga and self defence. My boxing background has helped with the punches but was great to learn the power of my hips and legs.
Definitely feeling more confident and safe from the first session!
