Introduction






Modern & Comprehensive

Krav Maga is a modern and compre-

hensive self defence system that is

practical and effective for ordinary

people.

It is focused on building realistic and

practical self defence skills for situa-

tions that may arise. It will give you a

fighting chance to protect yourself

and family or friends without serious

harm (within the bounds of the law)

Popular Internationally

Krav Maga is relatively new in New Zealand but very popular and fast growing

around the world. Different class types are offered and enjoyed by men, women

and children or all backgrounds.

All over Body Workout

While it is addressing serious situations, it

will get you fit, build confidence and is a lot

of fun. It is relatively quick to learn and be-

come proficient, compared to martial arts.

Learn with the Leading Organisation

We teach to the high standards of Krav

Maga Global , the leading international Krav

Maga organisation, head-quartered in Israel

and present in over 60-countries.

Professional Teaching

Students follow a well structured, syllabus

and have the opportunity for gradings to

challenge themselves and measure their

progress.

Learn with internationally trained and experi-

enced, Expert Level Instructor.

TRAINING BENEFITS




Well Organised & Structured

You will find each class well structured

to warm you up, work you hard and

then summarise the information so

you retain it.

Fast and Unique

Each class will have different drills, ex-

ercises that are very dynamic so they

work your mind as well as your body.

The teaching method, techniques, tac-

tics have been refined over many decades and many students, so you will learn

as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Collaborative and Fun

You’ll be working with partners and in small groups collaboratively and you’ll have

What’s a Typical Class Like?


Warm-up: Cardio-vascular exercises to raise your heart rate. Mobility

exercises to reduce chance or injury. Power exercises for strength and

muscle development. A game to get you mind buzzing.

Pad Drills: We’ll develop you basic combat skills with boxing and kick-boxing

drills, striking pads. You will work hard and any stress in your life will melt

away.

Technical Development: Here you will work with partner(s) on defensive

techniques. These are more technical so there will be detailed instruction

and feed back from the Instructor.

Summary Drills: Here the class comes together combining the class

elements in a fast paced and dynamic summary drill, that could be based on

a real life scenario. This consolidates the learning, prepares you for reality

and finished the class on a high.

STRUCTURE

Dynamic Warm-up Game—London Class




Born on the Street

Krav Maga developed out of the real

street-fight experiences of the founder

Imi Lechtenfeld. He build on his classi-

cal knowledge as a international boxer

and wrestler but stripped away what did-

n’t work and added things that did.

Krav Maga has been continually refined

over many decades to ensure it works in

practice.

Not only are the techniques realistic, but

the way we teach in order to bring as

much realism into learning as possible

(without injuring each other).

Practical for all People

It was designed so that it is practical for all people. Imi the founder was the

head combat instructor of the Israeli

Defence forces for over two decades.

He had to design a program that deliv-

ered combat skills to all citizens (men

and women) over a short period time.

It had to be practical for all and rela-

tively quick to learn.

Sophistication in Simplicity

Imi found that simple natural body

movements that focused counter at-

tacks on vulnerable points on the at-

tacker were the fastest to perform, did-

n't require strength, and the quickest to

learn and remember.

This is an underlying principle of the

Krav Maga you will learn with us.

It works in practice!


Based on Real Experience:

Incorporates the founder’s

extensive street fighting

experience;

Relevant: Updated and refined

to keep up-to-date with modern

problems & situations;

Practical & Effective: Can be

quickly learnt and applied in

practice effectively.

PRACTICAL & REALISTIC




Scenario Training

Krav Maga utilises “scenarios” to

structure learning for reality, This

is fairly unique to Krav Maga.

Scenario training is where we take

the techniques we’ve learn and

practice applying them in simula-

tion of a real life situation. This of-

ten involves practising in a differ-

ent location and using objects or

surroundings.

Event Timeline

This type of training includes a time-

line, to ensure we act optimally at

each stage.

Before: We can ideally avoid trou-

ble or use techniques / tactics to de-

escalate trouble before it gets vio-

lent.

During: If that doesn’t work we use

different techniques and tactics to

give us the best chance of dealing

with the violence quickly and effec-

tively minimising injury (within the

law).

After: We must escape the danger,

taking any family, friends and then

make sure we deal with any injuries.

Not Traditional...

Krav Maga is modern in its approach to traditional martial arts. It does not contain tradi-

tional elements such as gis, kata, foreign

language, or excessive etiquette.

Our training kit is a dry-fit club tee-shirt,

shorts or cotton trousers and gym shoes.

The instructor is seen as a “coach”, is

approachable and called by first name.

Not a Sport...

Krav Maga is not about preparing stu-

dents to win a rule based one-on-one

sports fight.

The emphasis on self defence brings in

many new variables and techniques to

the training such as the examples in the

sidebar.

Teamwork and Fun...

Students work together in pairs or small

groups most of the time so there is an

environment of coaching each other. It is

a team environment where you can expect to make new friendships.

Classes are fast, dynamic and will challenge you both physically and mentally. In

fact almost all classes will involve games!

Techniques and tactics for:

Multiple attackers;

Surprise attacks;

Defence against attacks from

side or back;

Defence against attacks when on

the ground and attacker(s) is

standing

Defence against attacker(s) with

formal or informal weapons;

Use of common objects for

defence;

Defences in different situations:

location, lighting, constrained

areas, etc.

Protection of loved ones or

friends;

UNIQUE TO KRAV MAGA

Not a martial art or sport...





Authentic Heritage

We are led internationally by Eyal Yanilov (pictured)

who was a key confidant of Imi Lechtenfeld the founder

Krav Maga, assisting in the development and spreading

Krav Maga. Now after 40-years is recognised as living

Krav Maga Master.

Eyal is my primary instructor, who I have travelled many

times to Israel and other countries to learn from.

International Standards

Eyal ensures that all Krav Maga Global clubs in over 60-

countries teach the best quality, relevant Krav Maga

available through his development of the international

syllabus and formal instructor development and contin-

uing education program.

The KMG Difference...


Eyal Yanilov, Head Interna-

tional Instructor, Master L2

What the means from a students perspective…

STANDARDS: Your instructor is teaching authentic, standardised Krav

Maga based on an well-structured syllabus.

ADD-ONs: in additional to our local training you will also have the opportunity

to participate in many local and international events and camps, which are a

great way to accelerate your development;

INTERNATIONAL: Should you ever move from Auckland, chances are you

can continue your learning at another Krav Maga Global club in your new city;

GO ALL THE WAY: Should you one day wish to become an instructor

yourself, and have the requisite qualities, you will have the opportunity to be

certified through the most comprehensive and professional teaching program.

BENEFITS TO YOU




Get Fighting Fit

Men find Krav Maga a much more fun and satisfying way to get fit and keep in

shape than going to the gym, running, swimming, etc. Classes are fun, fast and

engaging so you won’t realise until you get to the end how hard you were working.

Traditional strength exercises work your muscles and boxing type drills, and even

games will keep you heart rate elevated, resulting in an all over body workout that

will help you to increase strength, car-

dio capacity and reduce body fat.

Be Extraordinary

It doesn’t matter what job you do, or

what your situation, there is immense

satisfaction in knowing you have the

skills at hand to defend yourself and

your loved ones effectively whatever

the situation should you need it.

I’ve had some very ordinary guys start

Krav Maga who are now very accom-

plished, not only in the training hall,

but have great success stories how

they have used Krav Maga effectively in real situations.

Challenge Yourself

Men in particular enjoy the challenge of learning and mastering Krav Maga to high

levels and progressing through the syllabus. Our gradings are designed to be

challenging but they are a great preparation for reality, and to confirm you have

mastered the material.

Age Doesn’t Mater

There are many men from 35-60yrs who are no longer feel able to participate in

sports such as rugby but are able to fully participate in and enjoy Krav Maga.

Increased Fitness & Tone-Up

Women in particular enjoy the fitness benefits of Krav

Maga. Traditional strength exercises, boxing type drills,

will keep you heart rate elevated and work your mus-

cles for an all over body workout that will help you to

tone and lose weight.

Increased Confidence

Women gain increased confidence from learning practi-

cal defence skills. For women we emphasise solutions

situations such as unwanted attention or attempted

sexual violence.

Defences do not rely on size or strength and work just

as effectively for women as they do for men. We have

many women in our system both as students and instructors, including Natasha pic-

tured.

Train Safely without Getting Hurt

Our techniques include both defences against strikes and grabs which necessitates

some contact in practice.

However, our objective is to give you skills to pro-

tect you, not to go home hurt. We emphasise

safe training through, carefully planned exercis-

es, use of protective equipment and any hard

striking is on pads.

Women can comfortably train in the adults class

with men and ultimately most prefer to do so as

this gives you the confidence your techniques

work against men in practice.

Krav Maga Global also offer short courses and

events specifically for women.

Keep Kids Safe

Krav Maga is very appropriate for boys

and girls of all ages providing techniques

and tactics for kids to protect themselves

from bullying and violence both within the

school setting and in society.

Focus, Discipline, Determination,

Confidence

Krav Maga is also a great way to positively influence a child's character. Boys in particu-

lar are prone to lack of focus and uncontrolled energy. Krav Maga is a great way to use

that energy productively and to teach then focus and discipline in a structured but fun

setting. Krav Maga will have a positive influence on their determination and self confi-

dence which will benefit them in a wide setting.

Age Groups

Kids are divided into age groups both in recog-

nition of their physical and mental maturity.

The teaching emphasis for younger kids is fun,

while developing basic skills. This includes co-

ordination, agility, evading or escaping grabs,

deflecting pushes, falling without getting hurt.

Older kids start to learn a greater range of techniques similar to the adult syllabus with

continued emphasis on fun. Here a focus is on the appropriate use of techniques and

self control.

Civilian Krav Maga for Ordinary People

Imi Lechtenfeld, the founder of

Krav Maga was head combat in-

structor of the Israeli Defence

Forces for over 2-decades so

Krav Maga is very well known

for it military and special forces

application.

However, after leaving the IDF,

Imi focused on developing and

spreading Krav Maga as a civil-

ian system for ordinary people to

protect themselves and their

loved ones. That is the type of Krav Maga we teach at Krav Maga Global—

Auckland.

Shared Principles & Underlying Techniques

While the emphasis is different between the strands, the underlying techniques

and principles are the same for each. For example a defence against a strike is

the same for all. However a civilian’s objective is to stop the attack and escape

unhurt, but a police officer must end a situation by restraining and arresting the at-

tacker so needs specialised knowledge the civilian does not.
