Krav Maga isn’t just about punches, kicks, or self-defence techniques. One of the most important skills is awareness: noticing what’s around you, recognising potential problems early, and reacting before you’re caught off guard.

Because sometimes the best defence isn’t fighting at all. It’s seeing trouble coming... even when trouble has a pouch. 👀 😂

Stay aware. Stay ready. Stay safe.

Are we teaching kids enough about personal space?

Yesterday I was teaching self-defence to our 7–11 year olds, and we were working on shirt grabs.

But before we even got to the physical technique, we talked about something I think is much more important: their personal safety circle.

When someone enters that space and a child isn't comfortable with it, you can often see the reaction immediately. They tense up, move away or sometimes freeze.

I think kids need to understand that it's okay to trust that feeling, create distance and establish a boundary.

Because for me, that's where self-defence starts. Not with a technique after someone has already grabbed you, but with awareness, confidence and knowing when to say:

“Stay back. Don't touch me.”

What do you teach your kids about personal space and boundaries?

🥋 Real Skills. Real People. Real Impact.

Krav Maga is more than learning how to defend yourself.

It’s about building **capability, skills, conditioning, confidence, resilience, and community** — skills that carry far beyond the training floor.

Whether you’re **4 or 40+**, just starting out or looking to take your training further, there’s a place for you here.

**We train. We learn. We grow. Together.** 💛

You don’t need to be experienced.

You don’t need to be the fittest.

**You just need to be willing to take the first step.**

🥋 Train for yourself.

💪 Train for life.

🤝 Join the community.

On this day in 1998, Imi Lichtenfeld, the Founder of Krav Maga passed away.

Krav Maga was never meant to be decorative or performative - it was built to work under stress, for real people in real situations.

The principles he set, still guide how we train and teach today.

Respect 🙏

Happy New Year to our KMS community!

As we move into the year, our adult training is beginning with a focused training block built around striking, distance and defensive structure.

Rather than jumping between techniques week to week, we train in structured blocks so students can develop real understanding, pressure tolerance, and decision-making under stress - not just collect moves.

This first block will focus on:

+ Managing distance and timing
+ Responding when attacks happen suddenly or unexpected
+ Building strong defensive structure under pressure
+ Applying simple, practical striking in realistic situations

Training blocks allow us to go deeper, train more realistically, and build skills that actually hold up when things get messy.

This block begins next week, and all adult students are welcome to jump in and train - Training blocks for kids and teenagers will begin as well.

Let’s start the year properly - with purpose, structure, and solid training.

We'll see you in class :)

Have a listen to these great Krav Maga podcasts - they're oldies, but they're still goodies!

We did talks with Kfir Itzhaki, Avivit Cohen, Danny Zelig, David Kahn, Ryan Hoover, Yigal Arbiv & Gershon Ben Keren.

Do you think we should revive Kravchats?
