Self Defence: The foundation of our training at Champions Krav Maga Academy is deeply embedded in Modern Krav Maga and integrated Mixed Martial Arts, meticulously tailored for both adults and teenagers. Our approach includes the Assess, Plan, Act Safety Model, focusing on practical self defence techniques covering anticipation, avoidance, and prevention, along with appropriate responses to a variety of threats. In the Assess phase, we educate our members to accurately evaluate their surroundings and potential threats, thereby enhancing their situational awareness.

Additionally, our training delves into the dynamics of violence, providing valuable insights into its causes and the most effective ways to handle or avoid such scenarios. We also equip our members with practical conflict resolution strategies, focusing on communication skills and non-violent methods for de-escalating aggressive situations. A crucial part of our awareness training is teaching our members to recognise the early signs of escalating aggression, enabling them to take preventive actions or prepare for self defence. This holistic approach not only arms our members with the skills to protect themselves but also fosters a comprehensive understanding of different situations where self defence might be necessary, thereby enhancing their overall safety and well-being.

The Champions Approach to Modern Krav Maga
At Champions Krav Maga Academy, we employ a unique, modern Krav Maga methodology built upon our proven 5 Pillar system, covering self defence, striking, clinch, Jiu-Jitsu, and weapons. This offers a robust and comprehensive training program that is designed for real-world application. Our training is built on five core pillars that integrate to fortify our Modern Krav Maga approach:
-
Self Defence: Modern Krav Maga techniques form the backbone of our self defence training, preparing you for real-world situations. This serves as the central, foundational pillar, laying the groundwork for all other pillars in our curriculum.
-
Striking: Our curriculum in striking, inspired by Boxing and Muay Thai, focuses on enhancing your stand-up combat proficiency. You'll be trained in a variety of striking techniques, from foundational punches and kicks to more complex combinations and footwork. This element of our training hones your abilities in stand-up engagements, contributing significantly to your comprehensive self defence toolkit.
-
Clinch: The Clinch component of our training immerses you in the intricacies of close-quarters combat. Integrating techniques from Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Wrestling, this section covers essential grappling methods, takedowns, and control strategies. It's tailored to give you a tactical advantage in close-range confrontations, empowering you to neutralise threats effectively.
-
Jiu-Jitsu: Our Jiu-Jitsu training combines elements of Japanese and Brazilian styles, along with Ninjitsu. Focusing on ground combat, this training equips you with crucial skills for ground control, submissions, and defences. This is a vital part of self defence, preparing you for situations where you need to manage ground-based confrontations confidently.
-
Weapons: In our Weapons training pillar, you'll gain skills in defending against armed attackers. Utilising techniques from Krav Maga, Ninjitsu, and Filipino Martial Arts (FMA), this training is vital for contemporary self defence scenarios. You'll learn to recognise potential weapon threats, disarm attackers effectively, and use improvised weapons, significantly elevating your capability to handle armed confrontations.
These pillars collectively fortify the core principle of Self Defence, forging a holistic and effective Modern Krav Maga methodology.
Our 5 Pillar system is more than a set of techniques; it's a philosophy that shapes your journey in martial arts. Each pillar serves as a building block that enhances your ability to defend yourself and others effectively. As you advance through the curriculum, you'll also notice improvements in your physical fitness, mental toughness, and overall sense of well-being. This multi-dimensional training enriches your life on and off the mat, making you a more confident and capable individual.
