Krav Maga Taunton Self Defence Classes

What an energetic Deep Dive session tonight❗

We focused on essential ground survival techniques, practised breaking free from chokes and holds, and tackled edged weapon defences on the ground.

To wrap things up, everyone got involved in some friendly sparring, rolling with their partners.

Huge thanks and congratulations to everyone who participated and gave it their all!

P.S.
Remember, guys, this is a monthly free member benefit, it'll be great to see more of you attend. You don't have to stay for the whole two hours and it's a great opportunity to focus on topics and techniques of your choice.

The 2-Inch Rule Protect Your Personal Space

Most confrontations start when someone gets too close. How close is too close? About 2 inches.

When someone enters your personal space without reason, they’re testing your boundaries and most people don’t know how to respond without escalating.

Use your hands like a fence. Palms out, arms relaxed, keep about two feet of distance. Say something simple but firm like: ‘I don’t want any trouble.’

This is non-aggressive, but it protects your reaction time.

That little space gives you time to move, block, or escape if needed and it shows confidence without looking threatening.

And Arabella, Violet, and Maria to our junior sessions!

At Krav Maga Somerset, we’re all about making self-defence practical and inclusive for everyone, regardless of experience or background.

When I joined the Royal Marines as a young man, I could never have imagined that 40 years later I'd be helping people become stronger, safer and more confident.

As I celebrate my 60th birthday, I wanted to do something meaningful.

So my challenge is simple.

Help 60 people become more confident, capable and resilient.

Whether that's through self-defence training, improved fitness, or simply taking that first step they've been putting off for years.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

I'd like to challenge you, our amazing members, to become the strongest, fittest and most confident versions of yourselves.

One Mission. "Helping people become more confident, capable and resilient".

Let’s set the record straight on women’s self-defence! 💪✨

MYTH: “Resisting only makes things worse.”
FACT: Attackers often count on you to freeze or comply. Quick, confident action can catch them off guard and give you the chance to get away. Trust your instincts, your safety is the priority.

MYTH: “You have to play fair.”
FACT: There’s no such thing as fair when your safety is at stake. Simple moves like eye jabs or groin strikes can help you escape, especially if the attacker is bigger or stronger.

MYTH: “It’s only dangerous after dark.”
FACT: Risks exist at any time of day. Staying aware and listening to your intuition helps you stay prepared, no matter where you are.

MYTH: “Carrying a weapon is the best defence.”
FACT: Weapons can sometimes be turned against you. Learning hands-on self-defence gives you real skills and confidence, no special gear required.

At Krav Maga Somerset, you’ll learn practical skills from experienced trainers in an encouraging, inclusive setting. We keep self-defence straightforward and effective for everyone.
