Krav Maga Defcon®

Krav Maga Defcon® (KMD) is a modern self-defence system well known for its simplicity, versatility and extreme efficiency. It receives growing interest worldwide - Police forces as well as many private security companies are among those who have already included Krav Maga into their mandatory trainings.

The secret of the Krav Maga success lies in the simplicity of the techniques. They are based on the instinctive responses of the body and therefore can be learned easily and quickly. Men and women regardless of the age and level of physical condition are able to reach a decent level of proficiency within a short period of time.

Of course, the fight itself is a highly undesirable solution in most cases. Therefore, first and foremost, we concentrate on de-escalation behavior training, so as to avoid a fight completely. The versatility in Krav Maga’s approach to potential threat enables the trainee to act in the most efficient way in a stressful situation.

However, if the fight is inevitable, one should be prepared for it. Origins of Krav Maga lie in different martial arts and sports. Our program includes striking, wrestling and grappling techniques suitable for defence against unarmed assailant as well as a weapon threat. Many of the street fights end up on the ground, so ground fighting techniques, adapted from judo and jiujitsu are an integral part of the training.

There are no rules in the street fight and Krav Maga students are prepared for this.
With its highly efficient techniques suited to the real life situations Krav Maga is more than a sport.
However, we understand that our students live normal life and we don’t want them to get hurt, so the exercises are devised in a way to avoid any traumas.
