Basic principles

Krav Maga promotes finishing a fight as quickly as possible.

Krav Maga is a reality based self defence system,its not meant as a sport its meant to be able to get the average person up to speed to take care of themselves in an attack, do whatever it takes to get home safe. Attacks are aimed at the most vulnerable parts of the body, and training is not limited to techniques that avoid severe injury. Drills provide maximum safety to students by the use of pro

tective equipment and the use of reasonable force. Students learn to defend against all variety of attacks and are taught to counter in the quickest and most efficient way. Ideas in Krav Maga include:

Counter attacking as soon as possible (or attacking pre-emptively). Targeting attacks to the body's most vulnerable points, such as: the eyes, neck/throat, face, solar plexus, groin, ribs, knee, foot, fingers, etc. Maximum effectiveness and efficiency in order to neutralize the opponent as quickly as possible. Training can also cover situational awareness to develop an understanding of one's surroundings, learning to understand the psychology of a street confrontation, and
identifying potential threats before an attack occurs.

🚨 Your Safety Starts With Awareness 🚨

Confidence isn't about looking for trouble—it's about knowing how to avoid it, recognise potential threats early, and respond effectively if necessary. At Self Protection Academy, we teach practical, reality-based self-protection skills that anyone can learn, regardless of age, fitness level, or experience. Train in a supportive environment alongside like-minded people, build confidence, improve awareness, and develop skills that could make a real difference when it matters most. Knowledge is the key. Be aware. Be prepared. Stay safe.

Threats don’t always look obvious—and by the time they are, it may be too late. Real self-protection starts with awareness: recognizing pre-incident indicators, managing distance, and making smart decisions under stress. At Self Protection Academy, we train you to see the warning signs early, avoid unnecessary danger, and respond decisively when escape isn’t an option. Your safety is your responsibility—and it’s a skill you can train. selfprotectionacademy.net
