Why train
Krav Maga?

Krav Maga was built for the Israeli Defence Forces and refined for civilians. It strips out the showmanship and keeps only what works — under pressure, against real attackers, in clothes you’d actually wear.

No. Most of our members had never trained anything before. We pair beginners with experienced training partners, and your first class is observation + light drills. You’ll be in good company.

No — but you will get fit. Every class is a workout, and we scale intensity to your level. Show up, give your best, and your fitness will climb fast.

Yes, safe. Sparring is optional and only for advanced students who choose to. Most drills are partnered, controlled and supervised by Niki.

Loose clothing you can move in, a water bottle, and a towel. We provide pads and gloves for trial sessions. No shoes — we train barefoot or in socks.

We follow the IKMF curriculum, which uses levels rather than belts. Grading is optional — most of our members just train. We don’t believe in pay-to-grade.

M.A.C.E. is our Modern Anti-Crime Education workshop — a one-day intensive for groups, corporates and women’s networks. Get in touch for bookings.
