  I have been training with Joe (Head instructor) for 8 years now. He is one of the best Krav Maga instructors in the UK.
  I don't live in London but I regularly make the effort to travel to him for his expert tuition on Krav Maga and … More self defence tactics. His knowledge on these is second to none. A true expert.
  If you're interested in starting self defence classes there is no where better than Institute Krav Maga UK. Highly recommend you booking a class with them.
  You won't be disappointed!!

  The club organises the best gradings I have attended. Partnering up with the best Krav Maga clubs across the UK, our Chief and expert level instructors made sure that every student got the chance to perform their best whether they had to … More use specific techniques as per their syllabus, or to react in heat of the moment. All instructors were able to provide different perspectives coming from various backgrounds of martial arts, ensuring that everyone is little by little more prepared to a potential unfavourable real life scenario when things could go left. This is not just a great place to train, it's a great place to meet amazing people.

  Training That’s Equally Fun and Focused
  Yes, you’ll learn serious self-defence techniques, but it’s done in such a way that you’re actually enjoying yourself. The instructors blend practical skills with a good dose of humor, so you’re not just learning—you’re having a great time doing it. Plus, the mental workout is just as valuable as the physical one, preparing you to stay calm in any situation.
