This blog started has a facebook post but I’ve got carried on and decided to create a Blog post instead.

Back in 2012 I’ve received a very particular phone call from someone that wanted to be a bodyguard.

This guy changed jobs and moved from Cambridge to Southampton so he could train with me and pursue his dream. Within 6 months he was training 3 times a week and never missed a training session. This guy had a big problem, EGO, there was no way he could go anywhere or reach his dreams with the attitude.

Ways you never knew Krav Maga could help you

Throughout my Krav Maga training I’ve began to realize that Krav Maga can help you in so many ways. Obviously, as a self-defence system it can save your life and I could spend hours explaining techniques to you, but in this article I’m going to explain a few ways that Krav Maga can help you, sometimes without you even realizing it.

I’ll start with what I consider to be the more obvious things, and then look at the more complex ways it can help you.

A very interesting and unique experience

A large part of Krav Maga is being prepared for the unexpected and being ready wherever you are. So it would make sense to try and train in different environments and conditions, which is why No Fear Academy’s outdoor series is an excellent idea.

If I had to name the things I am most passionate about I would definitely name Krav Maga as one. Whether you’ve had a bad day or you just feel like you want to smash something for the fun of it, you can let it all out and just focus on perfecting your survival skills in training. Once you got into it this can be highly addictive, so be warned!

I have to admit my first session was an intimidating prospect. A group of friends were looking for a bit of a challenge and some extra fitness. One of us had been training in Krav Maga for a short time and had convinced us to give it a go.Read More »Each Krav Journey starts with a single step

Today was the day of the Air Safety Workshop organised by Total Krav Maga & No Fear Academy. We arrived on site for the afternoon session to be greeted by a grinning José walking out of a Boeing 737. For those that don’t know José, when he has a wide grin from ear to ear you know you are in for a challenge.

Learning Krav Maga as a Women

Well, from looking at me you probably wouldn’t think I would be your typical Krav Maga student – and I am not! The majority of Krav Maga students are male, but that has not put me off as I feel even though I am not as strong as them I can defend myself against them. Also, in real life situations it is more likely that I would be attacked by a man, so training with men prepares me for this. Women should not be intimidated by attending a Krav Maga class as it is easy to learn and it could potentially save their lives.

A year and a half ago I’d never even heard of krav maga. I’d always liked the idea of learning some kind of self-defence but the traditional martial arts had never really interested me so I never bothered. Then I came across krav maga whist watching one of Bas Rutten’s excellent (and hilarious) self-defence videos on YouTube.
