Real World Situational Self-Defense for Everyone!
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.

The #1 Rule in Krav Maga is AWARENESS
Inflict the most damage, with the least amount of effort
The best way to defend is quickly— learn the best places to strike an attacker in any given situation to quickly neutralize any life-threatening situation.
Effectively throw punches, kicks (combative) to neutralize any threat
Everything in Krav Maga is a STRIKE! In every class basic combatives are harnessed and improved for maximum damage with minimal effort.
Critical Thinking Skills to de-escalate any life-threatening situation
The #1 Rule in Krav Maga is AWARENESS. In addition to teaching self defense techniques, we also teach you critical thinking skills to become more aware of your environment, teaching you what to look out for, common signs of danger, etc.
Learn the principles of disarming common weapons
With all the YouTube videos out there, it’s easy to see that there are many ways to disarm a weapon. However, you only need to know three basic principles to effectively disarm any weapon.
