How is Krav Maga taught?
Updated over a week ago

Latest insights in training methods are taken into account. Krav Maga training is not deeply rooted in tradition but considers efficiency for the individual practitioner. In Krav Maga, there are no traditional rituals or esoteric insights, which can be found in some Asian martial arts. We don’t make a cult of people or graduation systems. The instructor is a person who helps us to broaden our knowledge of self-defense; he is not an object of admiration. It is very important for us to interact on a sensible personal level, understand the other person and create a comfortable atmosphere for our training sessions.

Krav Maga is a constantly evolving system, we strive for development and better solutions. There is no absolute truth, and we don’t claim to know everything. Some people say that they have found the ultimate technique, the universal solution that works for anybody. This is highly dubious. Experience teaches us that an effective self-defense system must be highly flexible and adaptable. Imagine a person who has physical limitations and can therefore not learn a certain move. Does this person have to practice that move over and over again just because some grandmaster says so? It makes a much more sense to offer alternatives which consider an individual’s abilities and needs. The system must be adapted to the person, not vice versa! The flexibility of Krav Maga will put physically disadvantaged people in a good position.
