Beginner Classes

Our classes are organized into 30-minute segments to provide the most flexible training opportunities for our students e.g., you can combine two segments to get a 60-minute class that runs from 6pm to 7pm or start at 6:30 pm and finish an hour training at 7:30 pm etc., you could also train from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm, to create a 90-minute training session. Our classes cover striking, punching kicking and general combatives, as well as working through scenarios, such as being strangled and moved while getting into your car, or having to deal with an angry and aggressive person in a bar. We also teach ways, both physical and non-physical, to set and demonstrate boundaries, to deal with people who are looking to test whether we are going to be a compliant victim etc. We do this in such a way as to not escalate a situation or force a predatory individual to act etc.

While our classes are active, and will improve your fitness, coordination, and athletic skills, this is not the primary goal of our adult program. Our aim is to teach people how to practically deal with aggression and violence, whether that is through early identification and avoidance, de-escalation or by physical means. Our classes aren’t a “workout” but an education into handling violent incidents in a way that you walk away safely. Often in the US, there is a misunderstanding between what constitutes “Cosher Kravi” (Combat Fitness Training), and Krav Maga (learning how to fight). These two things are distinct and different and should not be confused. If your aerobic and anaerobic systems are being trained and tested you are not in an optimal state to learn new things and/or develop existing skills and techniques. There are times when Krav Maga training uses tiredness and exhaustion to replicate the body’s physical state after adrenaline has worn off and the body goes into a recovery mode, however this type of training should not be overdone or be confused with fitness training,

If you are interested in experiencing Krav Maga that comes direct from the source and hasn’t been filtered or combined with other martial arts or combat sports, please use the form below to sign up for one of our beginner classes.
