What is Krav Maga?

Krav Maga is a highly effective and practical self defence system that was originally taught to the
IDF (Israeli Defence Force), it has been adopted by many law enforcement agencies world wide.
Krav Maga was later adapted to suit the needs of civilians including children.

Krav Maga’s techniques mimic the bodies natural responses thus making the system easy to
learn in a relatively short time but hard to forget. Krav Maga is suitable for all, regardless of age
and ability.

Krav Maga is widely regarded as the most comprehensive reality based self defence in the world
today.

Krav Maga for Kids and Teens

Krav Maga is taught to children in much the same way as adults allowing them to develop self
defence skills in a short space of time. The material taught is age specific and is tailored in a way
to get the best from both groups. Students are taught how to recognise any potentially dangerous
situations and to avoid/prevent/de-escalate it, but in cases of physical contact learn how to
defend themselves against problems including, strikes, grabs, choking, headlocks, hair pulls, etc.
Students also learn how to fall safely and how to defend themselves on the ground and how to
use common objects to defend themselves.

Although many of the techniques that are taught are based around situations that may arise
between them and their peers the students also learn how to defend themselves against an adult
aggressor and how they should create attention, call for help and report any attack. In Krav Maga,
tactics are one of the fundamental lessons learned and students are put through scenario training
which can be as simple as what to do if approached by a stranger at the school gates or what to
do if they get lost in a supermarket for example.
