Overview
Studying Krav Maga from a local instructor will teach you how to defend yourself, your friends and make sure the people you care about survive. Training is very aerobic and uses lots of pads, encouraging you to attack at full speed even when practicing. Focus is put on your natural reactions to situations, then builds from there to give you easy to use defensive tactics. The goal is to make your training an instinct so that when you are suprised by an attacker, your natural reaction is to prevent injury and neutralize the threat as quickly as possible.
Some people don't consider Krav Maga to be a martial art, since it doesn't actually teach physical fitness, have a sport component, or claim to be an "art form". But we're including it on our website anyways as we feel it's one of the best systems to learn if your goal is self-defense.
