KRAV MAGA SELF DEFENCE

WHAT IS KRAV MAGA?

Krav Maga can be translated from Hebrew as ‘Contact combat’ and is well known for being one of the leading self-defence systems in the world. Krav Maga was initially developed for the Israeli Defence Forces and combines techniques from a variety of martial arts including Judo, Boxing, Karate and Aikido. Krav Maga, like most martial arts, does not encourage physical confrontation. Instead, it helps students learn to defend themselves against a variety of possible attacks and how to counter them in the quickest and most effective way.

Brisbane Krav Maga teaches a unique and special style of Krav Maga self defence, called Gendai Ryu, which translates to ‘modern school’. This special system of Krav Maga, under the leadership of Dr Gav Schneider (PhD in best practice use force and defensive tactics training methodology), offers unmatched instructional quality, in-depth and realistic knowledge, tactics and techniques tested and proven in the real world, all taught in a way that is easy to understand and retain - these are some of the unique advantages of the Gendai Ryu system that Brisbane Krav Maga and self defence teaches.
