The official hand-to-hand combat system of the Israeli Defense Forces Krav Maga was born out of mob violence and Nazi aggression at the onset of World War II. And similar to CrossFit's methodology, it is continually tested in the real world: on the battlefield and in the streets. It is also the preferred system for the U.S. Military and other law enforcement personnel.

Krav Maga is a reality-based self-defense system; it's not a traditional martial art- no katas, no rituals, no nonsense. Krav uses simple principles and instinctive movements designed to teach real self-defense in the shortest possible time. Our students learn to defend against strikes, chokes, grabs, as well as weapons such as guns, knives and sticks, both against individual attackers and groups. We teach people to function during the stress and shock of a sudden, violent encounter.

Classes will be held at Foundation Athletics, most Saturdays, at 12:00pm. $15 per class, pay as you go. Train when you can, donʼt if you canʼt.

Know what the best part about making the first class is? Itʼs everyoneʼs first class! Come 15-20 minutes early for registration and waivers. Youʼll need groin protection real soon- if you donʼt have it for the Day 1 itʼll be okay, but by class three youʼll definitely want it. (That includes you ladies, seriously.)
