Whether you’re an experienced martial artist or a newcomer to the self defense and fitness world, VKM® offers a positive and exciting workout while learning reality-based self defense.

Weapons training is a vital component of Krav Maga. This is because Krav Maga is a practical form of self-defense, and one can never know what kind of weapon an attacker might present during an encounter. This means that it’s essential for Krav Maga practitioners to be well-informed about the full range of weapons that could be used in attacks. Not only will the practitioner be able to fight off an armed attacker, but he or she will also have the skill to take control of the weapon and use it as a tool of self defense. Weapons and weaponry knowledge can be the difference between life and death.

Krav Maga has been developed to meet the specific needs and requirements of each type of individual, and a good example would be for women.

Krav Maga for women is characterized by its effectiveness. Size, strength and power are important realities in Self-Defense training. Most women will be confronted by threats who have a physical advantage in these 3 areas. Hence, Krav Maga is an effective response to potential – or active – violence even when the attacker has this physical advantage.

Ladies if you’re interested in learning Self Defense join us on Saturday November 9th for our next Women’s Self Defense Seminar!
