It is definitely safe to train Krav Maga. Our classes are structured for a progressive learning environment where safety is our number one priority. It’s the nature of an activity like Krav Maga that accidents can happen but as long as you follow the instructor’s guidance and respect your training partner you will be fine.
Wear comfortable workout attire, such as t-shirts, sweatpants or shorts, and sneakers or training shoes. KMG (Krav Maga Global) make excellent training trousers, shorts and dri-fit shirts which most students eventually choose to train in. These can be purchased in person at the end of your first class. For your safety, we recommend watches and jewellery be removed, or if unable to be removed, must be taped up or covered. We also recommend bringing a workout towel and plenty of water to drink as you'll be working up a sweat.
Krav Maga is not a competitive/combat sport or martial art. The goal of Krav Maga is to become able to protect yourself and others when facing a real threat or violent confrontation. So it is not about lasting several rounds in front of an opponent in the ring. Therefore Krav Maga training is about preparing your body and your mind so you can successfully deal with a real aggression or a threat in the street. Krav Maga training focuses on realistic scenarios and attacks, developing the self-defence mindset, and developing the skills you need to survive an attack.
The more you put into training the better you will become. Of course everybody has different amounts of time that they can invest in training, but to really get the benefit and make progress you should train at least once a week as a minimum, if you're serious about developing skill, retaining knowledge, and making real progress.
Absolutely! Krav Maga is suitable for women. It doesn't rely on size or strength but on simple, instinctive techniques anyone can learn. Krav Maga empowers individuals of any gender, size, or physical condition, making it perfect for women to defend themselves effectively. Book a trial class today!
Krav Maga Global does not use a belt system. Instead we use a patch system of levels to keep track of students’ progress. There are 5 practitioner levels, P1-P5, 5 graduate levels (mostly instructors) G1-G5, and 5 expert levels (high level instructors) E1-E5. We also use a similar patch system for our kids and teen students. Please see the KMG Grading System page for more information.
