Krav Maga and Self-Defense


AWARENESS
What is Krav Maga?
SELF-DEFENSE TECHNIQUES
Krav Maga is the official self-defense and fighting system of the Israel Defense Forces and many U.S. law enforcement agencies, emphasizing easy-to-learn, battle-tested techniques that expand on your natural survival instincts. This system is not sport-based with rules to keep things fair - Krav Maga is for the situations where the only goal is to get home safe.
It is designed to take those with little or no previous experience and bring them to a high level quickly by incorporating techniques from many martial arts, including boxing, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai.

Claymore Fighting & Fitness
ages 14+
Classes begin with a dynamic warmup, typically followed by drills to develop effective striking skills. We’ll move on to specific self-defense techniques that are practical for anyone regardless of age, gender, or size. Each technique is demonstrated, practiced, and then performed live with constant observation and correction by our Certified Krav Maga instructors. At the end of class, we pressure test the techniques to ensure they can be performed under stress - when it’s needed most.
