Krav Maga as a self defence system is very easy to learn because it is based on natural movements of a human body. Some martial arts require lots of flexibility and big muscles. Krav Maga self defence doesn't. Of course strength and good flexibility is a plus, but it is not a must.

In martial arts training and in particularly in Krav Maga self defence we practice defences against a baseball bat, knife, stone, gun, bottle, etc. To check what other weapons we use click here.
When learning Krav Maga you will find that lots of self defence
techniques include simple boxing skills. Boxing is therefore inseparable part of our martial arts and self defence classes. If you already have boxing gloves at home bring them with you.

You will also learn how to kick, just like in karate for example. Legs are stronger and longer
than our arms, hence kicking is a great part of many martial arts classes, and that is also true for
our Krav Maga self defence training.
And as most of the street fights end up on the ground, you will also learn ground fighting techniques similar to those found in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Wrestling. Our professional instructors will be able to share with you their knowledge and skills of all those great martial arts.

A message from the Founder
Hi everyone and thank you for visiting our website. I am Jack, the Founder of The Self Defence Academy.
Simply speaking, it is my mission in life to help as many women, men and children to
develop good martial arts and Krav Maga self defence skills, so that they could be safe
in today’s ever increasingly dangerous world.
I have always been curious about different martial arts and self defence styles and if you are
here on our website I would believe we share the same interest. For many centuries people have been training martial arts. And interestingly enough the main purpose of many of such martial arts has always been self defence. So self defence and martial arts cannot really be separated.
