If you’re looking to become a professional fighter, this is not the program for you. The aims of Krav Maga Fight are:

• Impact conditioning. You can train all the skills and stress drills you’d like, but you don’t know how you’ll react after being hit until you get hit. The style of training we do in Fight Class is the safest means to simulating that.
• Augment our self-defense training with sport-style fighting.Training other styles of fighting will make you a more well-rounded Krav Maga practitioner. While we don’t profess to master any of the fighting styles covered, a familiarity with them can mean a world of difference when confronted by someone with a little know-how.
• Have fun. No, not in the everyone-gets-a-gold-star-and-trophy sense! We take this training very seriously, but at the end of the day, the majority of us do this not as an occupational requirement but as a hobby and means of physical activity.

The list at the link below represents a consolidation of the “fighting” (i.e., not “self-defense”) techniques in the Krav Maga curricula, plus techniques added from other systems to help balance the skill sets. This is admittedly a lot of material, and it cannot possibly be covered with any depth within a brief time frame. Like the system as a whole, it is broken into manageable blocks and will take considerable training time and effort to work through all of it. Also like the system, the list is subject to modification.

The structure of Krav Maga Fight is to run a 12-week Intro program for new Advanced students following a Level 1 test. Attending this 12-week block is required for students to participate in Advanced class drills utilizing fight gear. After this program, the class will follow 4-, 8-, or 12-week defined blocks that focus on building a certain skill set. This will allow us to organize training and get good at things before moving on; keep training interesting; and cover a lot of diverse material over the long arc of training.
