Self-Defense System in Cape Town (Sea Point)

Master critical situations

Krav Maga (Hebrew: contact fighting) is an easy-to-learn, purpose-oriented self-defense system. It was originally developed for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), then later refined for civilian use. Today, the system (IMI System) still aims to teach self-defense skills to people of all ages and genders. Krav Maga relies on simple principles and intuitive movements that can be called upon and used under pressure, even in stressful situations.
