After blocking an attack, most people focus on the person in front of them.

In Krav Maga, we train you to think beyond that.
In a real situation, the threat rarely stops at one person — and this is why we train situational awareness.

Scanning 360 degrees, checking for other attackers, weapons and exit routes, is a skill you build through training, not an instinct you hope to have when it matters.

Come and train it with us.

Kicking properly starts with the front foot getting out of the way.

Turn your toes toward the target, then rotate your heel through. Body follows, eyes stay forward. Land forward, not back and be ready to keep going.

The measure of a good kick is simple: your attacker takes at least one step back. If he doesn't, something in the sequence broke down.

Train with us at Institute Krav Maga UK — classes running daily in Central London.

You can have perfect technique, but without the right mindset, it won’t hold up under pressure.

​Watch IKM founder and head instructor Joe Ambrosino break down exactly what we train for.

Like the saying goes: you don’t rise to the occasion, you fall to the level of your training.

Our training bridges the gap between knowing a move and being ready for the real world.

Come see what makes the Institute Krav Maga environment different.

On the street, the attacker already has a plan. You need one too.

Street robberies aren't random. The attacker left home with a plan: a weapon to threaten, a friend nearby, and an exit route. We've seen this pattern in central London more times than I can count.

What most people don't factor in is that your environment can work in your favour.

Awareness isn't paranoia, it's preparation.
Know what's around you, who is around you and know what you'd do before you ever need to do it.

That's what we train at Institute Krav Maga.

This is why we do what we do.

Cristina came to train. What she found was a community. Her words, not ours, and they mean more than anything we could say ourselves.

If you’re thinking about starting Krav Maga, come and try a class with the Institute of Krav Maga UK and see what makes this community different.
