Krav Maga Self-Defense Seminar

Krav Maga (Krav) is the official self-defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces. It has become one of the most widely recognized and preferred self-defense methods. The main objective of Krav is to bring individuals of all abilities, ages, and body types to a high level of proficiency in a short time. Krav will prepare you mentally and physically to help avoid and prevent attacks. It will also allow you to defend yourself confidently in today's world.

This seminar will introduce you to Krav. This seminar requires no previous martial arts training. We will discuss situational awareness, and the impact awareness has on you and a potential assailant. Since physical force is a last resort, we will discuss alternative means to de-escalate a situation. Once a situation becomes physical, the goal is to escape the threat as quickly and efficiently as possible. In this seminar, you will learn several strikes that can be utilized in various self-defense situations. You will also learn defenses to some of the most common attacks.
