Yes, but what is it REALLY like ?!

We like to think that there is something for everyone…

  • With over 30 years experience teaching martial arts, Simon’s aim is to build a club where everyone can learn at their own pace.
  • The atmosphere in the club is of mutual development and support – it doesn’t matter if you have never done anything before or you have years of martial arts experience behind you.
  • The key thing is that we work hard together to get better at defending ourselves and becoming more capable and confident as individuals.

How do you define Krav Maga?

Krav Maga is a practical self-defense system developed for the Israeli military that focuses on real-world scenarios and quick, effective techniques.

Do I need any prior experience to join?

No prior experience is necessary! Our classes are designed for beginners as well as advanced practitioners.

What should I wear to my first class?

Wear comfortable workout clothes and athletic shoes. Bring water and a towel if needed.

Is Krav Maga suitable for all fitness levels?

Absolutely! Our classes are tailored to accommodate all fitness levels, and you can progress at your own pace.

How is Krav Maga different from other martial arts?

Krav Maga focuses on practical self-defense rather than competition or traditional forms. It’s designed to prepare you for real-life threats.

Will I get hurt in training?

While Krav Maga involves physical activity, we minimise risks by teaching techniques with care and ensuring proper warm-ups and cool-downs.

Is there sparring involved?

Sparring is something we introduce from the beginning of your training. It is kept very slow and relaxed with plenty of support from the other instructors and students. It develops as you do.

How much does it cost?

Training memberships range from £75 a month to £700 per year, however there is also an annual registration required with our governing body the FEKM-UK of £40 which covers your insurance and provides access to training resources.
