Krav Maga comes from the Hebrew "Contact Combat", it was created in the 1940's by the Israeli army to provide both civilians and military with the most effective self-defence training program. Classes are designed to teach practical and logical moves to students in order to help them develop quickly a high proficiency level of self-defence. At KMDI, we offer the best form of defence against various real-life threats such as common grabs, strikes, chokes and against those fighting with weapons (sticks, knifes) and fi****ms. Krav Maga training at KMDI is a great way to stay in shape thanks to our high-intensity classes combining series of kicks, punches and the use of boxing bags and gloves. Our students have utilized it for weight loss, fitness, personal safety and empowerment.

Confidence isn’t always built with both feet on the ground. 💚

This six-year-old is practising a headstand with his coach right beside him. A physical challenge, with a bigger purpose.

Beyond the strength work, we’re creating opportunities to practise listening, focus and body control—and discover that something unfamiliar can become something manageable.

That’s how we approach building stronger, more resilient kids: meaningful challenges, patient coaching and room to learn.

We don’t expect them to be fearless. We want them to feel supported enough to try, comfortable asking for help and proud of their progress.

The goal isn’t just a headstand. It’s confidence they can take beyond the mats.

Coached drill—not a challenge for children to copy at home.

Effective self-defence training has to balance safety, realism, and fun! If it’s not fun, you’re not going to stick with it long enough to develop any real skill.

🚨 KMDI IS TAKING KRAV MAGA OFF THE MATS! 🚌🥊

Real self-defence doesn’t happen in a nice open training space. It happens in crowded, confined and unpredictable environments — so that’s exactly where we’re going to train.

He didn’t just learn techniques.

He discovered something in himself he didn’t know was there.

Calm under pressure.
Control under stress.

That’s what training does.
