Institute of Krav Maga UK

I can highly recommend this club and fighting system.The instructors have a huge amount of experience and are amazing teachers; you'll be made to feel equally at home whether you're a complete beginner or a black belt. You can expect to cover everything from footwork, head movement and punch mechanics to how to escape from a headlock, choke or bearhug.Krav Maga doesn't pretend to be an art, it's about practical solutions to dangerous situations. It also teaches situational awareness and weapons defences which are topics that aren't really typical in traditional martial arts. There will also be sparring at a level you're comfortable with.You can book a trial class for free as I did. Give it a try!

I have 30 years of experience in various martials arts, and I have been training with Joe and the team for about 6 years. Without question the Institute offers the most effective practical self defence instruction I've experienced. The instructors have deep knowledge, the other students are a great bunch of people, and the prices are incredibly low, especially if you can train multiple times a week. Highly recommended.

Fantastic place with amazing instructors. I am a 30-something cerebral guy who has never done any fighting sports and isn't particularly athletic in the first place but coming here is the best decision I have made in a long time. I feel more calm, energized, and confident than ever before and there is a strong sense of camaraderie and community in this group. It's also great value for the money that you pay. I keep coming back for more.
