What is Krav Maga?

Krav Maga is the official self defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces, and has been taught to hundreds of law enforcement agencies and thousands of civilians in the United States. It's also the preferred system of the US Military and law enforcement personnel.

A hybrid of karate, wrestling, judo, jujitsu, boxing, muay thai, and street survival tactics, Krav Maga is a simple, effective self defense system that emphasizes instInctive movements, practical techniques, and realistic training scenarios.

Students learn to deal with almost any violent or threatening situation through the use of hand-to-hand combat, improvised weapons, or simply knowing when to escape danger by running away. It's combat for a modern world - a system that's heavy on the martial and light on the art.

We offer complete self-defense instruction that will train both your body and mind to deal with any threatening situation.
