Krav Maga is an Israeli martial art specifically created for use in the street, a place where rules do not exist. The self defense techniques are designed to be used by everyone, never relying on size, strength or fitness level. Krav Maga techniques utilize strikes to an attacker’s most vulnerable targets; thereby leveling the playing field. Defenses against multiple attackers and attackers using weapons are taught, and sparring is an important aspect of training. Physical fitness, self confidence and strength are all increased through continued committed training.
We provide classes for children as young as three that focus on building concentration, listening skills, discipline and physical fitness. Our classes for children ages six through fourteen cover all of the same self-defense techniques as adult Krav Maga classes but at a more kid-friendly pace.
As children learn Krav Maga they gain a high level of discipline, respect for self and others, the ability to focus and the self-confidence to act. Often parents comment on the changes that they see in their children – particularly in how it affects their school work and behavior with other kids. Our students are taught when, and under what circumstances they are allowed to use what they learn in our classes and on whom – practicing techniques on siblings or friends is never acceptable.

Krav Maga Training for Women
The understanding in our art is that the only way to stop an assailant is with the use of force, but students are taught not to use strength against strength, training with the understanding that an attacker will likely always be larger and stronger than the defender. This principle is particularly pertinent for women.
Krav Maga techniques teach strikes to vulnerable targets; places on the body that can not be strengthened but can be easily damaged such as the throat, eyes and groin. Practitioners are taught to move from being passive as a defender to becoming an aggressor as quickly as possible. Defense without immediate offense does not exist in Krav Maga.
