SKILLS + EMPOWERMENT + CONFIDENCE = PERSONAL FREEDOM

KRAV MAGA AND THE JOY OF KICKIN' ASS

We believe every woman should feel strong, fearless and confident for life. Krav Maga has proven to be highly empowering for women all around the world. We offer this course to women to learn to deal with women-related challenges, encouraging every woman to overcome anxiety or fear, with confidence and strength. Well known celebrities such as Emily Blunt, Jennifer Lopez, Amanda Seyfried, Angelina Jolie, Gal Gadot, and Jessica Chastain have all taken Krav Maga training to develop fight skills for roles, as well as for fitness, strength and personal protection.

We will teach you how to utilise adrenalin and function under stress. It was created to be adaptable and easy to learn, regardless of your size. This makes Krav Maga perhaps the most suitable self-defence training for women today. Apart from the physical training, we will also encourage you to develop mental resilience, street tactics, confidence, and empower you for life.

In an ideal world, women would not need to learn to protect themselves. However, until some deeply ingrained societal problems are resolved, it is smart and necessary to have some skills to be able to look after yourself and loved ones with. In the meantime, we encourage every women to approach this training with personal development, personal growth, enjoyment and empowerment being the motivating purpose.

These classes are about empowering you for life. Beginning in 2018, this program was created by Chief Instructor Wil and his business partner Sabrina to provide a safe, holistic and supportive class where women can experience empowerment through our training.

You will learn to find your voice, your confidence, your inner strength and resolve, while learning physical skills such as how to escape and overpower an assailant, counter grabs, abduction attempts, chokes, hair grabs, pushing and shoving, being hit, being pinned to the ground and sexual assault attempts. You will learn powerful counter-attack options.

In addition, we will cover non-physical skills such as situational awareness, boundary settings, knowing the law and your legal rights, how to respond to trespassers and thieves, how to recognise stages of escalation, and dealing with inappropriate behaviour from both friends and strangers.

This training will develop physical / mental resilience and increase your confidence and self-esteem. Suitable for women 13+, we will help you unleash your protective feminine fighting spirit.

Q: What's the difference between the women-only classes and the mixed beginners classes?

A: This class provides a safe and introductory environment for women who prefer to train only with other female students. Being a smaller class, the women’s class can address more women-specific techniques, and there is more opportunity for individual questions and discussion about specific challenges women face. e.g. defence against disrespect, micro-aggression, sexual harassment, inappropriate and threatening behaviour….etc.

As the class is not designed to move a student towards high-pressure grading/certification, we can take a more even-paced approach, suitable for women who are either new to this subject matter or needing a gentle approach with time to explore the topics.
The class size is smaller, so we can discuss specific scenarios - related to women.
We teach an extra level of boundaries enforcement and assertiveness in our de-escalation training.
We focus on bringing encouragement, open discussion and a place to find a voice, healing and confidence in their physical skills.
The downside is when it comes to 'high pressure' testing, you won’t have the men to practice with, which we believe is very important. For this, we recommend our women upon completion of this course, to move over to the mixed-classes for that, if and when they feel comfortable to do so.
Classes are usually led by Instructor Wil with either a female assistant-instructor in training, senior female student or his business partner Sabrina present.
