KRAV MAGA FOR WOMEN

Krav Maga has been developed to meet the specific needs and requirements of each type of individual. Krav Maga for women is characterized by its effectiveness even from a position of physical disadvantage, providing the needed self-defense against violent sexual and criminal attacks.

When training women, we take into account a woman’s ability to improve and excel despite her own misconceptions of her ability to fight and face physical challenges that require strength or aggressiveness.

KMG’s training methods for women are based on years of experience, as well as numerous real-life situations in which women found our system to be the most effective. KMG’s system for women provides excellent self-defense skills, producing the highest rate of defense successes in facing various types of attacks.

In addition to the technical and tactical training required to gain Krav Maga skills, women must develop the appropriate mental capabilities to support their physical readiness to fight. As such, our women’s training necessarily includes developing the determination, persistence and ability to turn on aggression when needed.
