What is Krav Maga and Why Learn It?

If you're like most people you want to feel prepared and know you have options if something unexpected happens.

Krav Maga is a practical and highly effective self-defence system focused on preparing you for real-life situations.

Training is designed to help ordinary people:

  • Stay aware and avoid trouble where possible
  • Respond effectively under stress if avoidance isn’t an option
  • Use practical effective techniques that work in everyday environments
  • Create an opportunity to disengage and get to safety

It’s not about competition, belts, or choreography. It’s about learning what to do — and what not to do — when things feel unsafe.

At Krav Maga Global you'll be learning from a tried and tested international curriculum. Our training will prepare you in a structured and progressive way, that feels practical, supportive, and achievable — even if this is your first time training.

You’ll train alongside other beginners in a purpose-built gym designed for safe, enjoyable, and progressive learning. Your instructors will support you every step of the way with clear demonstrations, practical guidance, and a welcoming, encouraging environment.

Training for the Real World — So You Feel More Prepared in Everyday Life

Situations we prepare you for

Training reflects the kinds of situations people actually worry about:

  • Different environments — street, home, work, or public transport
  • One-on-one confrontations
  • Multiple assailants
  • Protecting someone you’re with
  • Verbal and physical aggression
  • Situations that begin from a position of disadvantage, such as surprise, stress, or limited space


The goal isn’t to expect the worst — it’s to feel better prepared if things don’t go as planned.

Learn from Experienced, Approachable Instructors Focused on Your Progression

Training is only as good as the people guiding you and the people you train with.

At Krav Maga Global Birkenhead, you’ll be coached by Aaron and Brad — experienced, fully certified instructors who take a calm, supportive approach to teaching real-world self-defence.

They’re here to:

  • Explain why techniques work, not just demonstrate them
  • Keep training safe, structured, and approachable
  • Meet people where they’re at, regardless of background or experience
  • Create an environment where learning feels clear and supported

You won’t be shouted at or pushed to prove anything.


You’ll be coached — thoughtfully, respectfully, and at a pace that makes sense.
