Krav Maga is the most effective self-defence system in the world. Krav Maga was first used by the military but has evolved into a system that can be used by civilians in their everyday lives.

Krav Maga contains no sporting elements; it’s based on real life situations. It works!

Testimonials

Deirdre Craddock

Training KM was the best decision I have ever made for my health as well as my safety. Without a doubt I am safer, feel braver but best of all it helps control my Fibromyalgia so now I have less pain. It helped restore my strength after major surgery too, stopping me feeling so vulnerable after being sick. I encourage everyone to treat Krav Maga as an important life skill that will benefit you for the rest of your life. Seize any opportunity with open arms to train with the excellent, welcoming and encouraging teachers at SKMS. Don’t be timid! The company is great too- very sociable and warm hearted, you’ll have so many laughs as they teach that you’ll be amazed what you can do and how fast you learn skills. every single time you go, that could save your life. No one is competitive, age, height etc. doesn’t matter because everyone helps each other, there’s nothing I haven’t liked about going to SKMS. I feel very lucky they crossed my path. 🙂

My son and I started Krav Maga with SKMS just over two years ago. He wanted to do something more varied and practical than traditional martial arts and I went to keep him company. Since then we have both really enjoyed it, made friends, got fitter and traded bruises in a friendly atmosphere. The instructors are great and will encourage you to achieve your best and are always ready to help with advice. I’m heading to Israel next year to train with the Global Instructors Team which is a reflection of how much I have got from Robert and his top team.

I took the women's self defense class whilst living in Scotland for a year, as I wanted to learn to protect myself better. I liked it so much that I started the regular course until I left Scotland. Now, two years later, I've started taking up classes in The Netherlands again. It may sound cliché, but there's a "krav" vibe that is connected to the sports itself, and you can find it in any country. Krav Maga has made me fitter, stronger and more self-confident. I feel like they should make it a mandatory subject in all schools. But until that has become a reality, taking classes with Robert at SKMS is a great alternative
