Grabs from Behind – Part 1: Arms Free

If someone grabs you from behind and your arms are free, before thinking about any escape technique, it's important to regain your balance, stay calm, and quickly assess the situation. A stable base allows you to react more effectively, while understanding the level of danger helps you choose the most appropriate response rather than acting on instinct alone.

If you're curious to learn how to respond, feel free to come along and try a session for yourself – the first class is free.

Distance Matters – Part 3: Cross Punch

Every self-defence technique relies on distance and timing. The cross punch is a medium-range strike, designed to generate power through the rotation of the hips and shoulders while keeping your opponent at a manageable distance. Understanding range allows you to choose the right response for the right moment. At medium range, the cross is one of the most effective strikes for delivering (even knockout) power while maintaining balance and control.

Distance Matters – Part 2: Front Kick

Every self-defence technique relies on distance and timing. The front kick is a long-range tool designed to create space, stop an advancing attacker, and maintain a safer distance. Understanding range allows you to choose the right response for the right moment. At longer distances, the front kick is one of the most effective ways to manage space and disrupt an attacker's momentum.

Distance Matters – Part 1: Elbow Strike

Every self-defence technique relies on distance and timing. The elbow is a close-range tool, designed for situations where an attacker is too near for longer strikes to be effective. Understanding range allows you to choose the right response for the right moment. At close range, the elbow strike is one of the most powerful strikes you can deliver.

Almost a year ago, this class started with just a couple of people and a lot of uncertainty. Seeing it still going strong today honestly means a lot to me.

I’m genuinely grateful to everyone who has trained with us, supported the class, learned, and helped build such a positive and welcoming environment. Couldn’t have done it without you.

Two days of non-stop training, learning, and adrenaline at the International Krav Maga Federation UK Instructors' Update weekend. Exhausting, yes - but also incredibly educational, inspiring, and an absolute joy to be surrounded by such skilled instructors and amazing people. Testing went brilliantly, and all of us who tested left with an extra stripe! Huuuuge thank you to everyone at the International Krav Maga Federation UK and E.I.T. Jonathan Maati for making this possible.
