The program is designed to instruct the participants in practical self-defence techniques, fighting skills, defensive tactics and principles that can be readily utilized as the need rises. The key to the approach is to present a well integrated self-defense and fighting outline with relatively few specific techniques. The system is designed so that the set of principles which are the fundaments of every technique apply to several potential attacks/scenarios. It is because of this approach that trainees reach a high level of proficiency, mentally and technically, in a relatively short time. Krav-Maga is a modern method characterized by a logical and practical approach. It is an easy to perform, natural, and effective system featuring simple movements and "reflexive" behavior of the human body. The ultimate goal is to keep the trainee safe from harm and to give him or her the ability, confidence and security to perform their duties effectively. A course curriculum is designed to prevent injury to the trainee and limit injury to a third party as well.
