Using Krav Maga, the Israeli military combat system as our foundation, and using methodology from self defence experts such as Rory Miller, we structure our Defend Krav Maga Self Defence classes in Peterborough around easy-to-learn gross motor skills. Basically, stuff that works under pressure.

What is Krav Maga?

Krav Maga is an easy to learn, effective self defence system. It will improve your fitness, your confidence and provide you with practical self defence skills.

Krav Maga is the Israeli combat system used by the IDF. It was developed in the late 1940s and 50s by a man named Imi Lichtenfeld whilst he worked as a physical trainer for the Israeli army. Later, after he left the army, Imi started to develop this system for civilian use and started the foundations of what we now teach. Nowadays there are of course, many different variations of Krav Maga, but essentially the core principles remain across all of them. Good striking (kicking and punching) and good wrestling (grappling/escaping or applying holds and grabs both standing and on the ground). Because of the military foundations of Krav Maga, the system also deals with edged weapons (knives), blunt weapons (sticks/baseball bats etc) and firearms.

Imi Lichtenfeld started really developing and teaching Krav Maga with his first group of Black Belt students. One of his main students and closest assistants was Eyal Yanilov. Together Imi and Eyal built the system into what is universally recognised as Krav Maga. Eyal is the founder of Krav Maga Global (KMG), based in Israel and arguably the largest Krav Maga organisation in the world, with instructors operating in over 50 countries.

Learning with Defend at our Krav Maga Classes in Peterborough

Our classes are suitable for all ages and abilities. We welcome beginners and experienced Martial Artists alike.

We are not a gym, rather a community of like-minded individuals – all looking to become better.  You’ll find no empty promises of instant results, but you will find a team who will guide you to your goal through consistent training, positive encouragement and hard work. It takes time and discipline to become good, but if you give us that, we’ll help you reach your goals. We’re martial artists, but we’re not pretending to be a Mixed Martial Arts gym – we’re 100% self defence. But we also enjoy fighting and we can teach you to enjoy it too!
