What does Krav Maga offer me
The benefits Krav Maga offers break down into two main groups, fitness benefits and self protection.
From a fitness perspective:
Krav Maga’s major benefit is that people who start tend to stick with it. In the 2013 British Krav Maga members survey, over 90% of members were still training after four months, and over 75% of members were still training after six months. Compared to average gym memberships these figures stand out because the major gym rates have attrition rates of over 59% in the first 4 weeks and a staggering 80% will have dropped out within 12 weeks.

The nature and intensity of Krav Maga training are different too. Krav Maga training focuses on
Krav Maga training focuses on High Intensity training delivered in a group using large groups of muscles doing multi joint compound movements – it’s military fitness and a level of performance unmatched by the machines in the gym.
From a Self Defence perspective:
Krav Maga’s pedigree is unmatched in the martial arts industry. Krav Maga’s dominance in the practical self-defence market remains unchallenged and with good reason.
As a practical system of self-defence, there is nothing else that comes close. For proven practical training that is fast to learn and actually works there are few alternatives. Whether it’s simple self-defence or something more specialised Krav Maga has proven systems and techniques in place that actually work and can be tested.
