Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Krav Maga classes suitable for me?
These classes are suitable for Adults and older teenagers (15+)
Do I need to be fit to start?
No, you don't need to be fit to start and getting fitter is one of the common aims of our trainees. As long as you don't have any health issues preventing you from partaking in exercise you are fine to join a class and go at your own pace..
Krav Maga is not a fitness class, but you will end up with a full-body workout from the types of drills we do which include body-weight exercises for muscle conditioning, to cardiovascular endurance through the pad drills.
What can I expect In my first Krav Maga session?
Your Krav Maga Instructor (Aaron or Brad) will meet you before the class for an introduction and to answer any questions..
The classes are 60minutes and generally consists of:
- Warmup,
- Striking Drills on pad,
- Defensive Techniques,
- Summary
- Warmdown.
You will be paired with a suitable partner for the training who will "buddy" you for the first session.
What do I need to wear or bring?
Wear tee-shirt (no singlets) and shorts or active wear (women). We also train in gym shoes. All clothes should be clean.
Bring a drink bottle (although there is a fountain).
Is Krav Maga training safe?
Krav Maga training is much safer than competitive sports. We take all practical measures to ensure the safety of trainees.
- Hard kicks and strikes are on pads
- Beginner classes do not involve sparing (in fact contact sparing is not a core feature of Krav Maga training as it is more scenario based)
- Trainees suitable safety gear for additional safety.
How long does it take to get "good" at Krav Maga?
Krav Maga is designed to be learnt as quickly as possible. If you come to 2-sessions a week you will very quickly develop skills in the foundation techniques. It takes 4-6 months to complete our first level and this gives you a decent ability to defend yourself in common situations. Beyond this the curriculum is extensive covering just about any situation you can imagine. So there is heaps of amazing stuff to learn and master.
Is it just "Fighting Techniques"?
No actually one of the key objectives is to not fight at all. Tactics and scenarios are a big part of the curriculum which is a big differentiator from Martial Arts and combat fighting sports. For example, tactics include:
- Situational awareness to avoid trouble
- Verbal and physical responses to deescalate trouble before it gets physical
We use "role-playing" to practice different scenarios ingrain appropriate responses, and if deescalation doesn't work then we have the techniques to respond physically if required.
How Much do Classes Cost?
The cost depends on how much you want to train. We'll discuss options with you after your first class, but in general the classes average $15-$20 per class for members.
However, the first thing to do is to book a trial and see if you like Krav Maga.
