I became a Father of two in my early thirties and saw a photo of myself on holiday. When I got home I decided I had to get fit, but I’d never been into gyms or found a sport I truly loved. I also realised I was a grown man who had never really had a fight and probably wouldn’t know what to do if someone attacked me. It was at that point I thought ‘I’m spending more money each month on chocolate than I am on learning how to protect my family’. I remembered that I had seen someone on tv mention they did Krav Maga, which I had never even heard of before that, and so I looked it up. Luckily for me I found the Krav Maga Academy ran classes near where I lived and so I booked my first session.

This is the most addictive hobby I've ever known! I joined mainly as a way of keeping fit, with the Intention of going twice a week but within three weeks have found myself attending almost every day! It's fun, VERY active and although it's sometimes fast and brutal there's No attitudes or ego's! Everyone is on a similar journey and although EVERYONE is at different levels of ability it really isn't a problem as It's one big krav family.
I wish I'd found this twenty five years ago!

I joined Krav Maga Academy a year and a half ago and it has changed my life. Before I joined I was a 21 stone smoker, my first class was a struggle but the instructors were very supportive and I felt encouraged to return. Within a short space of time I noticed my fitness improve and this motivated me to give up smoking. I have since I feel much healthier. The classes continue to challenge me but are a lot of fun, I also feel safer and better prepared to protect myself should I need to. I would highly recommend Krav Maga Academy to everyone regardless of age, size, shape or fitness, it can change your life for the better.
