KRAV MAGA FAQS

The minimum age for training with KMW is 16 years old. However under 18s must have written consent of a parent in order to train.

Our classes are suitable for complete beginners. Many of our students have never done any kind of martial arts or self-defence before.Krav Maga was designed to instil these types of skills quickly and efficiently. Our experienced instructors will be there to build up fundamental skills and help you every step of the way. They will teach you exactly what to do at a suitable developmental pace. Everyone started at ground zero, even instructors.

Not at all! You don’t need to be super fit to start Krav Maga. Fitness is personal and can always improve. We tailor training to your pace, and after a few months, you’ll notice a big boost in your fitness. Our focus? Preparing you for real-world safety, not a triathlon.

Absolutely! Krav Maga is designed for everyone, regardless of size or strength. Its simple, instinctive techniques make it an ideal self-defence system for women to feel safer and more confident.

Safety is our top priority at Krav Maga West. While training involves partner contact, following your instructor’s guidance and respecting your partner keeps risks minimal. Serious injuries are rare—think the occasional bruise. Before your trial, we’ll ask about your health to tailor your training. Plus, all our instructors are qualified first aiders.
