Our London club is friendly, the instructors that help you learn Krav Maga are among the best you will find in the UK, and you will get fitter, stronger and more flexible along the way – what’s not to like ?! If your question is ‘How can I learn Self defence’ ? The answer is Krav Maga ! Self Defense is the core framework of Krav Maga and as such, a large part of each class is based around what is called ‘scenario based training’. This is where a defence against a specific attack or threat type is demonstrated and then broken down slowly and practised. Approaching training in this way is what helps people learn Krav Maga as fast as possible – the training is based on simple self defence principles which allow even a complete beginner to complete every class with a better idea of how to defend themselves. Krav Maga was developed in the 1930’s by Imi Lichtenfeld, who later became the Chief Instructor of Physical Fitness and Krav Maga for the Israeli Defence Force (IDF). The FEKM (European Federation of Krav Maga) was created in 1997 by Richard Douieb, to whom Imi Lichtenfeld gave the responsibility of helping people learn the Krav Maga self defence method in Europe, and now includes more than 25,000 members across 15 countries. It is the largest and most well respected Krav Maga organisation in the World. Krav Maga Self Defence is run in London by Simon Pither, a qualified FEKM 2nd Darga Black Belt Instructor with over 25 years of Martial Arts experience. Simon has a background in Judo, Kung Fu and self defence and has been an instructor since 1995. During this time he helped develop a specific self defence course for students, nurses and teachers that was based on simple and easy to learn self defence techniques. When he started to learn Krav Maga in London in 2011, it was an excellent fit as this is exactly what Krav Maga is all about! Simon is the highest grade British black belt in the FEKM, and he trains regularly with senior instructors from Paris, giving the club direct access to key principles and techniques.

Favourite Krav Club!
I have tried a couple of other Krav Maga clubs in the past and I must say FEKM-UK is hands down the best club by far. I like the fact that it is structured and the curriculum is the same across all the clubs within the UK and across the clubs in the European Federation. This helps to understand what and why you're learning and this is how you develop those much needed skills without jeopardising your health and safety too.
In addition to that, the people are friendly and you get to make friends too thanks to the social club that the club runs for kravists!

Highly recommended!
I have been training with Brixton Krav Maga for a little over a month now and would highly recommend giving it a go.
Members at the club are very welcoming and helpful, and the instructors are very knowledgeable.
The sessions are a mix of focused technique work and scenario-based training where you can put the techniques into practice, which really helps with the learning process.
It is a great place to go if you want to learn self-defence and Krav Maga.

Great fun and workout!
Great fun and workout!
I love their krav maga classes, everyone is very nice and helpful, the classes are entertaining and very useful, and also, very exhausting! But don't worry if you're not a super athlete, you'll get used to it in no time.
Highly recommended for everybody.

Well worth the money and time
Well worth the money and time.
The training for children at the Brixton Krav Maga is exceptional. The trainers are friendly but very professional. I would say its definitely worth it. My daughter is more confident and wants to be as good as her trainers if not better. I recommend to everyone I know who has a child.
