More Reasons To Join
"I'm more capable of defending myself."
It’s the best class I’ve ever done. We learn something new every time and I’m feeling more and more capable after every session. Absolutely love it!
Matt
"The techniques work."
I’d only been training a couple of weeks when I was threatened with a knife. The training kicked in and I got away – the look on the guy’s face was priceless.
James
"I have the skills I need to be confident."
I was attacked on a beach in Thailand. I was lucky but promised I’d never be in that position again. Krav Maga gives me the confidence to travel again.
Katie
"It's improved my confidence."
I feel stronger, more capable and, most importantly, much more confident in my ability to look after myself if I ever needed to.
Mel
"My fitness is better than ever."
When I get to that point where I’d normally have to stop, I know I can keep going, and that’s thanks to Krav Maga. It’s awesome.
Richard
"Everyone is so welcoming."
I didn’t know what to expect and worrried that this would be another macho fight club, but everyone is so supportive. The skills I’m picking up are amazing.
Marie
"Loving the techniques."
Another brilliant session tonight from Scott, the training gave me the chance to study the techniques and how to improve. Loving this more and more.
Nik
"Yet another great session."
Self-confidence was a little low but a big thanks to Scott for being so patient with me. I’m getting stronger with each session.
Sarah
"I had so much fun tonight."
Brilliant session tonight guys! Thanks to Scott for his instruction and humour! Never knew that ground techniques could be so much fun!
Stu
"The social aspect is so good."
If I had to choose between a gym membership or this, I wouldn’t be able to hand my gym membership back fast enough!
Chris
"I'm stronger and fitter."
After every class I can tell I’m getting stronger and fitter, and the techniques give me the confidence that I can handle myself in the worst case scenarios.
