STARTING UP

Firstly, there is no expensive Induction Course. I prefer to get you into the main class and integrate you on a gradual basis: in my experience (see Instructor page re my martial arts background) this works better: you get to know the other students - from whom you can learn a lot as well - and you can start when you’re ready without having to wait until a course is booked up. Krav Maga is designed to be learned quickly so you’ll soon get into it and the more senior students are encouraged to work with beginners and help them along.

Currently we have a Beginners Package which offers the first 10 lessons for £60. These 10 lessons can be taken over any time period you wish at any of my classes and you can choose to commit or not following your first lesson. You are also very welcome to come and watch a class in action before making any decision. Payment for these lessons can be in person or through the secure site.

The following gives an indicative summary of that which we aim to cover in the Beginners Package.

Defences against the 10 most common street attacks:

1. One person pushes, hands to chest, which is normally followed by the pushee striking first, to the head.
2. A swinging punch to the head.
3. A front clothing grab, one handed, followed by punch to the head.
4. A front clothing grab, two hands, followed by a head butt.
5. A front clothing grab, two hands, followed by a knee to the groin.
6. A bottle, glass, or ashtray to the head.
7. A lashing kick to groin/lower legs.
8. A broken bottle/glass jabbed to face.
9. A slash with knife, most commonly a 3 to 4" lock blade knife or kitchen utility knife.
10. A grappling style head lock.

And a number of defences against knife threats/attacks and how to defend yourself if taken to ground.
