WHAT IS KRAV MAGA?

Krav Maga is widely recognized as the world’s most practical and effective self-defense system. Originally developed for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Krav Maga translates to "contact combat" in Hebrew and focuses on preparing everyday people to survive and overcome violent encounters.

What sets Krav Maga apart from traditional martial arts is its emphasis on simplicity, efficiency, and effectiveness under stress. Krav Maga is not a sport—there are no competitions, tournaments, or unnecessary techniques. Instead, it prioritizes real-world self-defense that works for all ages, body types, and experience levels.

At Agoge Krav Maga, we teach our students how to:

• Neutralize threats quickly and decisively

• Defend against common attacks such as punches, chokes, grabs, and ground assaults

• Handle armed attackers wielding knives, blunt weapons, or firearms

• Improve situational awareness and threat recognition

• Develop the confidence to de-escalate or take action when needed

Krav Maga's unique advantage lies in its adaptability. It blends proven techniques from Boxing, Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Lethwei—creating a comprehensive self-defense system designed for unpredictable, real-life situations. Our training at Agoge Krav Maga integrates these disciplines to prepare students for everything from street altercations to violent assaults involving weapons.
