Realistic Self Defense
Krav Maga is the official hand-to-hand combat system of the Israeli Defense Forces. It's also the preferred system
for U.S. Military and law enforcement personnel. Krav Maga is not a traditional martial art. No katas. No rituals.
Based on simple principles and instinctive movements, this reality-based system is designed to teach real self
defense in the shortest possible time. Learn to defend against common chokes, grabs, and bearhugs, as well as
weapons such as guns, knives, and sticks. Just as important, we teach people to function during the stress and
shock of a sudden, violent encounter. Tested on the battlefield and in the streets, Krav Maga's practical approach
to self defense will make you safer and more secure.
Our Self Defense Program Consists of these 6 Levels of Training.
Intro to Krav Maga
All new students are encouraged to take this 90 minute introductory class one time within the first two weeks of
training. This class will serve as an orientation to Krav Maga and provide you with the basic skills and knowledge
to participate in KM Level 1.
Level 1
This entry level class is designed for all new Krav Maga students. The goal of the class is to teach the basics of
self defense and fighting. Students will learn Krav Maga's fighting stance and movement, various punches, kicks
from standing position as well as from on the ground, elbows and knees, and how to defend against punches,
chokes, headlocks and wrist grabs. Students who train an average of two to three times per week should expect to
complete the curriculum in 4 months before testing into KM Level 2.
Level 2
Upon completing KM Level 1, students will participate in a Yellow Belt workshop and test into KM Level 2. In this
intermediate level class, students will continue to review and hone the skills learned in KM Level 1, as well as to
learn additional punches and kicks, punch defenses with counterattacks, kick defenses, and defenses against
various chokes, headlocks, and bearhugs. Students who train an average of two to three times per week should
expect to complete the curriculum for this level in six months before testing into KM Level 3.
Level 3
Upon completion of KM Level 2, students will test into KM Level 3. In this intermediate class students will continue
to train on strikes, defenses against strikes, and self defense, including more advanced techniques that involve
defending against weapons such as knives, guns, and sticks. Students who train two to three times per week
should expect to be ready to test for Green Belt in nine months.

Blue Belt techniques. The curriculum includes additional punches and kicks, more defenses against punches and
kicks, defenses against knives, guns, and sticks, as well as advanced ground fighting techniques. Green Belt
students are encouraged to continue training in KM3 classes as well.
