Why Krav Maga?
Krav Maga is built around simple, efficient techniques designed for real-world self-defense. Rather than relying on sport rules or complex forms, training focuses on recognizing threats, responding quickly, and creating an opportunity to escape. Students learn practical defensive skills while improving confidence, awareness, fitness, and the ability to perform under pressure.
What is Krav Maga?
Krav Maga, meaning “contact combat,” is a practical self-defense system originally developed for real-world situations. Its techniques are designed to be direct, efficient, and easy to apply under stress. Training includes striking, defensive movement, escapes, threat recognition, and responses to common attacks.
Unlike many traditional martial arts, Krav Maga is not centered on competition or forms. The goal is practical problem-solving: recognize the danger, respond decisively, and get to safety.
Quick FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions:
Why should someone choose to train in this self defense system?
Victims are chosen for their perceived disadvantages. Krav Maga trains so that the fight is never fair - to the attacker. It is stacking the odds in favor of those with a perceived disadvantage.
How hard is it? Can I get hurt?
This is definitely going to be harder than yoga, however each student can progress at their own pace. Safety is the ultimate goal of the class because you can't train if you're hurt and we can't teach if no one is training - or if we're hurt. We try to replicate real life situations as best as we can by practicing punching, kicking, and other strikes on pads; as well as practicing choke grabs, hair pulls, grappling and other escapes with partners.
Will it help me lose weight?
As stated before, fitness is a side effect of Krav Maga! Through practice and repetition of these habit-forming techniques you will be able to gain cardio, and learn life saving techniques.
What if I have no prior fighting experience?
You don't need any martial arts experience to start training in Krav Maga. What you will need is water, an open mind, and perseverance!
