Been coming here for almost a year now and loving it every time, even when i don’t feel like leaving the sofa but then you push yourself and you DO go to class and you feel great! because everybody is great here, from the instructors always willing to help and make you feel at home, to the fellow kravists 🥊beginners and advanced helping each other to improve, everybody is here to learn some skills, become fit and most of all, have fun!
Special thanks to Master Simon 🥷🏼always willing to help and sort out any issues/doubts you might have.

I’ve been attending Krav Maga classes in Brixton and can honestly say they’re fantastic. The sessions are suitable for everyone, regardless of age, fitness level, or experience. The instructors create a welcoming and inclusive environment that makes it easy to get started.
Each class is fun, engaging, and packed with practical self-defence techniques. It’s also a great workout – expect to sweat, build strength, and improve your confidence. Whether you're looking to get fit, learn something new, or just blow off steam, these classes are a brilliant choice.

I have attended 4 classes now and can honestly say I am loving it! After many years of no exercise, this is an enjoyable way to be active again.

Just finished my second session at Brixton Krav Maga after my intro course. I had a really good time learning new techniques, really looking forward to progressing and meeting new people along the way.

I thoroughly enjoy my sessions at Brixton Krav Maga, don’t get me wrong it is a tough workout but you learn incredible skills all while being part of a friendly and welcoming community. I would highly recommend.

I started training Krav Maga years ago in Brazil, and it has truly been life-changing for me, especially to be more self-confident.
After moving to the UK, I was really happy to find Krav Maga Brixton, where I’ve been training since July.
From the very first class I felt welcomed. The instructors are excellent, the whole team teaches with great knowledge, patience, and passion.
On top of that, the group of people who train there are incredibly friendly, which makes me feel part of a true community.
I highly recommend Krav Maga Brixton for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, professional, and welcoming place to train.

I have been attending classes here for over a year and it is a great place for learning self defence and improving fitness, in a friendly, diverse and supportive environment. All the instructors are really helpful and friendly. I highly recommend signing up.

Superb: sweat with purpose.
Get fit while learning actually useful self defence skills. This is not about flashy techniques; more about how to react in a way that genuinely helps you out of a street situation.

Friendly and welcoming first session. A lot of great people and great fun!
It's easy to learn too, which definitely helps

I have been taking lessons here for nearly 2 years now and have had a wonderful experience. Simon and the instructing team are great coaches and leaders. New comers are always welcome and everyone is encouraged to go at their own pace. It's top quality instruction with full explanations and answering any questions members have. The classes are fun and a great way to get and stay fit. Younger, old, men and women all do the classes together. It's very inclusive environment and a fun way to learn some self defence and stay fit.

Amazing place to be and to learn self defence for all ages.
Professional, friendly and welcoming team. I learn something new every day!

I took the two hour Krav Maga introductory course on Monday evening to understand more about the discipline and to generally satisfy my intrigue. The class, led by Simon, was a fascinating dive into the world of Krav Maga and provided a great background of the principles and basics of self defense.

I felt the lesson was very accessible and welcoming and I came away with some new skills and a host of new knowledge about a totally unknown discipline to me. I have decided to continue with it going forward. Highly recommend.

I did an intro course with the club and can only recommend it to people curious about Krav Maga. It is an incredibly welcoming and friendly atmosphere, and you get to meet both other people on the intro course as well as people who have been training with the club. Simon is a great instructor, breaking down each step, and gently nudging you to being more confident. Trying a new sport can be intimidating, but I can't recommend the welcoming nature of this group enough!

I had the absolute pleasure of attending an introductory Krav Maga session in Brixton, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we started, Simon’s expertise and enthusiasm made the session both engaging and empowering.

As someone completely new to Krav Maga, I was a bit nervous, but the team created a welcoming and supportive environment that put everyone at ease. Simon explained techniques clearly, broke things down step by step, and ensured we all understood the practical applications.
The session was dynamic, fun, and a fantastic workout (definitely earned my pizza afterward! :-)). I walked away feeling more aware, stronger, and excited to continue learning. Highly recommended! And of course, I will be back!
Best regards, Karo

Went to a trial lesson and thoroughly enjoyed it. They also have the first woman Krav Maga black belt at this branch. First impression is good professional people and a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Professional and effective

Highly recommend Simon and his instructor team after training with Brixton Krav Maga for around 1 year

Krav Maga is a great self defence system -really good fitness-I’ve Always found everyone there very friendly and helpful.

I really enjoyed my first session and hope that there will be many more. Great structure, instructors who know their business and an environment of commonality, trust and respect. Awesome.

As and older student I was nervous of starting a new program. However, the instructors are very friendly and welcoming to all. I'd recommend you give the intro class a try and see if you like it. All the other students are very kind. It's a nice workout and learning self defense is very important living in London. The head instructor, Simon is also one of the main heads of the FEKM-UK so the instruction is top notch.
