Krav Maga is a self-defense and fitness system originally designed for the Israeli Defense Forces, and has been taught to hundreds of law enforcement agencies and thousands of civilians.  It's high energy, easy to learn, and teaches fast,  instinctive responses to the threats that you are likely to face from an attacker.

It is a complete head-to-toe, full body workout  that emphasizes simple movements, allowing people of all ages and fitness levels to

get in shape and learn real self-defense.  Krav Maga is not a traditional martial art.  No katas. No rituals.  No nonsense.

Based on simple principles and instinctive movements, this reality-based system is designed to teach real self defense in the shortest possible time.  Learn to defend against common chokes, grabs, and bearhugs, as well as weapons such as guns, knives, and sticks.  Just as important, we teach people to function during the stress and shock of a sudden violent encounter.  Tested on the battlefield and in the streets, Krav Maga's practical approach to self defense will make you safer and more secure.
