What is Krav Maga?
A practical self-defence system built for real-world situations, not the ring.
Developed by Imi Lichtenfeld and refined for the Israel Defense Forces, Krav Maga blends striking, wrestling and grappling so you can recognise a threat early, deal with it, and get to safety.
It was created for people of all ages, sizes and capabilities. You don’t need to be fit or have any martial arts background to start. Close Combat is part of the International Krav Maga Federation (IKMF), a worldwide community with headquarters in Israel.

What you’ll train
Skills that hold up when it’s real.
Grabs & chokes
Getting free from grabs, chokes and headlocks, from the front, the side and behind.
On the ground
Defending yourself when you’ve been taken down, and getting back to your feet.
Weapon threats
Dealing with threats from a knife, a stick or a gun, and getting away safely.
Awareness
Spotting trouble early, avoiding it, and calming things down where you can.
Under pressure
Drills that lift your heart rate, so your technique still works when you’re tired and stressed.
