This program is constantly evolving and is a
choice that allows the students who follow us to
practice a modern and pragmatic Krav Maga,
based on the reality of combat.
We have often noticed that, in many cases,
and beyond the controversy of the "technical"
options used in most of the centers, training
methods were somewhat "sanitized" and much
too often more suited to the "Demonstration"
than to reality.
We see this often when people who teach have
followed a very short plan of studies and / or
have chosen the number of graduates relying on
the fad effect of Krav Maga.
From our side, it's been long that we found
that the effectiveness of a "street" self-defense
method can't be compatible with "a nice combat
choreography."

Therefore, our training methods meet the real
needs of the students we train. A specific and
long tested pedagogy is used to allow
practitioners to "confront" the harsh reality of an
aggression.
A stepwise progression program adapted to
each one, with exercises depicting very common
situation, is carried out in classes, favoring the
combative and thoughtful aspects.
There's no need to lie to students when it
comes to self-defense, because it is
their physical integrity, it is their life
what is at stake.
