What is krav maga?
Krav Maga is roughly translated from Hebrew to mean “contact combat.” It is a highly effective martial art that utilizes a combination of strikes, grapples, throws, locks and holds. Krav Maga originated from street fighting techniques of Jewish gangs defending themselves in the tough ghettos of Bratislav in the 1930s. It was later developed in Czechoslovakia in the 1930’s by Imi Lichtenfeld. After the nation of Israel was born, Krav Maga was adapted and further developed by the Israeli security forces.
Krav Maga is more effective for close quarter combat than many other styles of the mixed martial art. Unlike most Asian martial arts, it was born in the modern era. This makes it a very “applicable” system of self defense. While Karate and Kung Fu were developed to for individuals to defend themselves while traveling the dangerous highways of feudal Japan, Korea and ancient China, Krav Maga was designed to be used in the tighter confines of an urban setting. Being a modern martial art, it also provides reliable techniques for defending oneself against an opponent armed with a gun or knife.
Close quarters fighting in Krav Maga is about using simple, direct movements to neutralize an opponent quickly. It is a fighting style developed on the streets and perfected on the battlefield. There is no sporting federation or points system involved. Groin strikes, joint breaks, eye jabs are all legitimate close quarters fighting techniques that can be learned and used in Krav Maga.
Close quarters defense in Krav Maga is reliant on several factors: technique is, of course, essential but so is awareness, discipline and aggressiveness. Unlike many martial arts that are embodied with a non-violent code, aggressiveness is vital in it. Close quarters fighting in Krav Maga is about ending an encounter quickly and when necessary, brutally.
Discipline is key because without it is impossible to master Krav Maga; and awareness is key because it allows you to head off or avoid conflicts before they arise. In worse case scenarios, awareness can help you determine when it may be necessary to launch a preemptive strike.
The training is meant to be realistic in nature and to prepare students in the event they should find themselves in a close quarter encounter with an assailant. Many of the techniques used in Krav Maga are popular with mixed martial arts competitors for their effectiveness in bringing down an opponent.
Close quarters defense in Krav Maga is not really something you can learn by just reading about it. In order to really learn the techniques, you need training from qualified professionals.

Our instructor
Remy Campagna has been relentless in his pursuit of training throughout his life. He wrestled throughout high school, was trained in combat while serving in the military, joined an elite boxing club after the military and, in his words, "found what i had been really searching for the whole time" when he stumbled upon warrior krav maga.
after training on his own for a good while he couldn't keep what he was learning to himself anymore. Remy went to florida and attended a highly intensive and rigorous training to become certified to teach and certify rank in what he believes to be 'the most practical, thourough and effective krav maga system out there today'.
on top of the warrior krav maga system that remy teaches here at the academy, he has also integrated a system called 'defence lab' which was developed by the man who trained christian bale in 'the dark knight trilogy', liam neeson in 'taken', as well as tom cruise in 'jack reacher' and the 'mission impossible' franchise. which takes street defense to a whole new level.
come in a try one of our krav maga classes and find out why everyone is so excited about this new program that we are offering.
