Training is serious, but training is fun. The instructors are calm, the students are confident. Have a browse of our Kinetic Zen Krav Maga London photos from training and recent events. We believe in the value and effectiveness of what we teach, questions are welcome and everybody is open to learning new things.
As you can see you don’t need much specialist kit or clothing to get started. Mostly we train in comfy gym clothes and there is not uniform requirement. On the mats we train barefoot, on the gym floor you can wear any clean shoes you like.
Every now and then we run a workshop or attend an event where a gi or kimono is required. And our kids classes tend to wear them as it really helps when teaching how to control someone else’s posture. Having said that if you like the pyjama look I am not going to stop you 🙂
Krav Maga is different from traditional martial arts in several ways, but most importantly it aims to avoid fighting if possible. The only street fights you win are the ones you avoid. If this is not possible the emphasis shifts to ending it as fast and efficiently as possible, leaving and going home safely. We try and avoid excessively flashy and complicated and focus on fast efficient and your natural reflexes where possible.
