Krav Maga


“So That One May Walk In Peace”


Krav Maga is built on simple processes, instinctive movements, and practical techniques to teach students the foundation of self-defense and self-protection skills. Dubbed a “mental” self-defense system, it is not about how much physical strength a student has, but more about their mindset and awareness.

GET HOME SAFE

When training in Krav Maga, the primary objective is always to get home safely. This means that classes are focused on teaching the students techniques and habits to avoid threats all together.

ADDRESS THE IMMEDIATE THREAT OR DANGER

When presented with a life threatening scenario, our curriculum will demonstrate how to effectively and aggressively engage with an attacker.

SIMULTANEOUS COUNTER STRIKES

Learning how to go from defensive to offensive postures to bring adversity back to the target, and learning to strike with the intent required to prevent harm to you and others.

CONTINUOUS COUNTER STRIKES UNTIL THE THREAT IS NEUTRALIZED

Build up your endurance, confidence, strength and speed to demonstrate your ability to effectively protect yourself. Self-defense is more than a buzzword, it’s a mindset.
