Krav Maga is the official hand to hand combat system of the Israeli Defense Forces. It is taught to all members of service regardless of age, gender, physical condition or job title. Whether you are a cook or a commando in the IDF, you get Krav Maga training. This makes it ideal for everyday people who want to defend themselves. Our classes are geared toward practical self defense while improving physical conditioning. 

Our instructors have been trained by some of the top Krav Maga trainers in the world. They are currently involved with training law enforcement on a local, state, federal and special unit basis. Some of these instructors have taught elite military units and executive protection teams for Fortune 100 companies. 

These classes will be taught in a quasi boot camp manner that will challenge individuals to push themselves both mentally and physically. Participants will learn basic striking and movement skills as well as how to defend against chokes, headlocks and ground attacks. As students advance, they will learn to deal with adversaries armed with handguns and knives. In the beginning levels, no prior experience is needed. We welcome people of all ages and especially encourage females to participate

The training is tough and students are expected to push hard. All they need to bring is water and a positive attitude!  As students advance, gear will be needed and detailed instructions will be given when required. Krav Maga is an extremely fun way to get into better shape and improve your physical safety.
