Learn About Us
Krav Systems was formed back in 2005, with a very simple mission: To give you a skill set that means you can save yourself or your loved ones. We teach effective self-defence techniques from many distinctive styles, but primarily the IKMF Krav Maga System. All current instructors are long-term members of the club, but have a wealth of experience in other styles, including MMA, BJJ, Filipino Martial arts, Thai Boxing, and many of the other traditional martial arts, such as Karate and TKD, but all have chosen to stay with Krav Maga, and have risen through the ranks accordingly, with instructors even travelling abroad to train at the highest level. All have professional insurance and first aid qualifications, as well as professional backgrounds from the military and law enforcement.

Our training prepares students for real life situations in the safest way possible, we use functional techniques, situational awareness and a strong mindset to respond effectively under pressure.
3. Strength and Integrity.
We uphold the highest standards in honesty, humility and responsibility in all our actions. Strength is nothing with without integrity both on and off the mat.
4. Resilience.
To face adversity with grit and perseverance, life sometimes throws setbacks at us, we use these as opportunities to grow stronger, smarter and better adapted.
5. Community and Purpose
We fully support a fully inclusive environment where each student is as important as the next. Maintaining and prioritising our values builds a community of trust and support, with true friendships built that can last a lifetime.

Testimonial...
A situation arose recently where I had to use some of the Krav skills I've learnt to protect myself and those around me.
I've been in fights in the past, and am able to handle myself, but this time was different. Whereas it is usually more reactive, this time I felt in control of the situation from start to finish. Utilising the skills I had learnt, I controlled the range, employed a "Ready" stance so that I was ready to act but not aggravating the situation, was able to identify his intention to throw a punch earlier and react to his punch sooner. My counter punch was quicker and he was already on his way to the ground before his punch landed. Another big difference I noticed was there was no adrenaline rush afterwards, no raised heartrate or hands shaking. Due to my confidence in my abilities and keeping control of the situation, I was as calm as if nothing had happened. - Steve (Krav Systems member since 2024)
