Elite Defence Academy

General information

What makes Krav Maga so different to other martial arts is the fact that ANYONE regardless of age, gender and fitness level can learn it quickly and use it successfully.

Our Krav Maga training encompasses mental conditioning, safe behaviour, awareness training, simple strategy, and of course, physical self-defence. The system is designed to enable a smaller defender to successfully neutralise a threat or attack by a larger aggressor, and is perfectly suited for use by both adults and teenagers.

Even completely untrained people can learn Krav Maga, and many of the techniques take only minutes to learn and are instantly effective. What most people don’t realize is that many “traditional” martial arts techniques just don’t work in a real fight or self-defence situation - Firstly, because adrenaline shuts you down- you won’t be able to use any fine motor skills- and secondly, because a lot of the techniques taught in Karate, Kung Fu etc. are outdated.

We all know that some of the traditional martial arts are very effective in certain ways, but they have critical weak points. With respect, a black belt in Karate etc. is not necessarily going to help you if you’re caught in a choke hold with a gun to your head. Some of the ‘crossover’ or modern martial arts, like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, have proven to be almost unbeatable in actual fights, and are exceptionally good, but even practitioners of BJJ or MMA have weak points when it comes to guns, knives etc.

Krav Maga is an extremely simple, yet highly effective combat system based on your body’s natural reflexes – one that enables you to deal with any survival situation under great stress. By learning Krav Maga you can develop powerful skills that could save you or your loved ones from mugging, home invasion, hijacking, rape, or violent death. Elite Defence Academy provides training which includes showing you how to increase your natural awareness by up to 500%, how to spot a predator and read his body language, and how to disable and shut down even the most violent attacker if you have to defend yourself.
