When looking to train in Krav Maga you may find many different organisations offereing their own version of Krav Maga. This will be based on the original IKMF Krav Maga and have similarities but at the true core will be very different. IKMF Krav teaches Krav direct from the source and the creator IMI LICHENFIELD which means you will be learning authentic traditional KRAV.

The most important thing we want in the world of IKMF is for people to be kept safe and making more people like you aware of this incredible self defence systmem. We respect organisations that continue to teach the skills of KRAV MAGA that will give its students the potential and chance to be taught this self defence and save their lifes or the lifes of others and keep safe. However, we believe that IKMF is of the HIGHEST standard as it was formed by Imi himself and why would you want to learn from anywhere else.

“Original”-“Traditional”-Authentic KRAV MAGA as taught by the man who created it and made this all posssible.

At the IKMF we teach  the principles of Krav Maga, the principles Imi based the system on. The guiding principle is to avert danger. We always assume the worst possible scenarios when training. A good example is you have been caught unaware by a surprise attack by multiple attackers. You have be able to act immediately: –

• Defend against the attack – stop further attacks

• Counter attack and control – neutralise the attacker

• Scan for other attackers and scene – know who next and exit routes

• More attacks and exit – don’t stay in a dangerous place

All this despite the rush of adrenaline. We also avoid going down to the ground at all costs. In a situation of multiple attackers, it can be fatal.

The IKMF Global Instructor Team (GIT) are arguably the best Krav Maga practitioners in the world, averaging 25 years of Krav Maga experience each. They teach and certify their instructors first hand – from the source. What makes them different, is the passion they have for Krav Maga. Even more so the desire to see their instructors and students become the best Krav Maga practitioners they can be. They do it by:

• Leading from the front – always striving to achieve excellence in their own abilities

• Sharing their knowledge and wisdom – effective communicators and great teachers

• Pushing the limits and beyond – tough drill instructors

• Caring for their student – truly compassionate human beings

They do this without compromising the high standards set by Imi. When it comes to saving lives, there are no compromises.
