TRANSFORM FEAR INTO STRENGTH.

What is Self-Defence?

Self-defence is the practice of protecting oneself from physical harm using a combination of techniques, strategies, and awareness. It involves learning how to respond effectively to threats or attacks, emphasizing both physical skills and mental preparedness to ensure personal safety in various situations.

What is Krav Maga?

Krav Maga is a practical and intuitive self-defence system developed for the Israeli military. It emphasizes rapid and effective responses to real-life threats, incorporating techniques from various martial arts, boxing, and wrestling. Originally designed by Imi Lichtenfeld to address combat situations, Krav Maga evolved into a civilian edition to cater to everyday self-defence needs. This adaptation focuses on practical techniques that anyone can learn and apply, regardless of age or fitness level, making it highly suitable for civilian self-defence training worldwide.

What should I wear and bring to my first class?

Wear comfortable workout clothes and athletic shoes. Bring a water bottle and a towel. We provide all necessary training equipment.

What is your background in self-defence and Krav Maga?

As a certified Krav Maga instructor from IKMF (International Krav Maga Federation), I have a strong foundation in this highly effective self-defence system. While Krav Maga remains a cornerstone of my expertise, my journey in self-defence extends beyond any single organization or style. I have chosen to broaden my knowledge and skills based on practical effectiveness and real-world applicability, ensuring that my approach is comprehensive and adaptive to various needs and situations. From this combination I decided to name my brand ‘ProtoTactics.’

Do I need any prior experience to join your classes?

Do you offer self-defence lessons for kids and teens? Is there a specific age requirement?

I specialize in providing self-defence lessons for mature kids and teens who are committed to learning and understanding practical self-defence techniques. While there is no specific age requirement, it is important that participants are able to comprehend and follow the instructions given during the sessions.
