WHAT IS KRAV MAGA?
Krav Maga is a self-defense system that was developed for the Israeli military. It emphasizes practical techniques and instinctive movements, designed to quickly neutralize threats and end confrontations as quickly as possible.
Krav Maga incorporates elements of boxing, wrestling, and grappling, as well as techniques for defending against weapons such as guns and knives. The system is known for its simplicity and focus on practical self-defense, making it a popular choice for military, law enforcement, and civilian training.
Krav Maga training often involves physically and mentally demanding scenarios and techniques, which can improve physical fitness, coordination, and overall well-being. The techniques taught in Krav Maga can be applied in real-life self-defense situations, providing students with the skills and confidence to protect themselves and their loved ones.

OUR APPROACH
In our view, the skill of hand-to-hand combatives is the most important out of all defensive the tools available. While weapons are extremely effective, 95% of all assaults are categorized as simple assaults prohibiting the legal use of a firearm. We believe that hand to hand combatives are important because we are more likely to use our hands than our firearms in our daily lives. We believe that every individual regardless of gender, size or age should learn what to do when confronted with an aggressive assailant. The goal in self-defense is to get to safety as quickly as possible, but it is rarely easy.
Our highly specialized hand to hand program will provide you the necessary physical and mental tools to face the threat and help survive the encounter. When retreat is not available, we must take in account striking arts as well as grappling arts. Our unique hand to hand combatives system adopted methods from Israeli Krav Maga, a military system used by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
