Experience Academy of Self Defense Krav Maga
At the Academy of Self Defense, we have the most comprehensive Krav Maga system in the world. Our Vanguard Krav Maga videos and online tutorials will give students the knowledge, tools, and techniques to protect themselves in real-life scenarios while also getting a full-body workout.
Vanguard Krav Maga® is a self defense fighting system that emphasizes the importance of environmental awareness and de-escalation to avoid physical confrontation at all costs. As a last resort, our system teaches you how to swiftly and aggressively react and escape to safety. Krav Maga focuses on evasion and only resorts to physical violence if there is an immediate threat.
All Vanguard Krav Maga® participants must be 13+ years old. If your child is between the ages of 5-12, and you want them to learn Krav Maga, please feel free to check out our VKM Kids program.

- Simple and effective gross motor skill-based techniques
- Provide a safe training environment where people of all ages and abilities can develop to their full potential and test the effectiveness of their skills
