​Krav Maga is built on a set of problem solving techniques. Once you've learnt the techniques, we apply the techniques in 'pressure-testing' drills, allowing you to learn to adapt & improvise naturally. Of course, we strongly address using only the appropriate level of force according to NZ local law.

​

7 Principles of Krav Maga

1. Avoid Injury & Confrontations
2. Use your body's natural reflexes
3. Move from defending to attacking immediately
4. Attack vulnerable points
5. Use common objects as weapons
6. Continue counter-attack until attacker is overcome
7. There are no rules & never give up

What is Stress Training / Pressure-Testing? Stress training will teach you to function effectively under duress (e.g. tired, exhausted, surprised, lying down, limited space to maneuver, against multiple attackers, when protecting someone else, when dizzy). Pressure-testing is when we test learnt-techniques against resisting opponents and realistic aggression, relying heavily on protective gear for safety and to experience both delivery and defense of strikes. Once you've learnt the techniques, we progressively introduce you to train with a 'resisting opponent' as much as possible.

What is Scenario Training? Training may take place outside in the dark, in a carpark, in hallways, in small confined spaces, inside a car, in a bus, in an airplane, under water or in a park. It may involve scenarios involving surprise attacks occuring in close quarter/confined spaces. You may be taught role-playing or verbal tactics. You may be trained to rescue or protect a third-party in a crowd. Techniques are pressure-tested in scenarios, to train the student to function effectively in a myriad of environments.
