Why learn Krav Maga?

Children and teenagers also encounter conflicts and threats. However, the environments in which they encounter such situations are often very different to the ones that adults are faced with. For instance, the way to school, the school itself and even public areas such as parks all have the potential to impact on a child or teenager’s safety and well-being.

Our KRAV MAGA program for kids and teenagers focuses on:

• How to recognise and avoid potential danger(s)
• How to deal with conflicts and violent situations
• Against bullies (both in and outside of school) or against adult predators

Teaching self-defence to children and teenagers requires a different approach to that of adults. Through games and other fun exercises, your child will learn how to stay safe while also learning how to recognise and correctly respond to potential dangers. KMT Kids Training always takes in account each child’s unique abilities and always strives to encourage and promote each child’s personal development in a positive manner. Other important aspects that KMT Kids Training emphasises include: understanding the difference between appropriate and inappropriate behaviour and how to interact in social situations. In accordance to the rules set out by Krav Maga Global (KMG), kids instructors must be able to demonstrate that they have many years of prior experience in Krav Maga before they are allowed to teach children and/or teenagers.

Age groups

Kids: 5 to 9 years

Teens: 10 years and older

NO RULES

There are no rules and certainly no referees on the street to ensure a fair and even fight. Anything can happen. Thus is goes without saying that there are no `rules` when it comes to self-defence – defending yourself, defending your dear ones. The recognition of this fact is what sets Krav Maga apart. Krav Maga is neither a sport nor a marital art, but a modern self-defence system forged in real world conflict. It is realistic, practical and easy to learn.

HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AND INTUITIVE

Krav Maga is a very simple system. It is both based on and emphasizes the natural instincts and reflexes we humans have evolved over the years to keep us alive. This means that it is easy to draw upon in high-stress situations. The cleverly devised, didactic premise, upon which all Krav Maga techniques are founded, promotes rapid learning.

EASY TO LEARN

Thanks to the simple, easy-to-learn and realistic approach that Krav Maga takes with regard to self-defence, the system poses very few difficulties for beginners. Based on tried-and-tested real world experience, Krav Maga is the ideal self-defence system for all men, women, teenagers and children, irrespective of age or body type.

KMG STANDARD
