About us
“There’s only one basic principle of self-defence- you must apply the most effective weapon, as soon as possible, to the most vulnerable target”- Bruce Lee
Welcome to Krav Academy where our goal is to teach self defence to everyone, no matter what age or ability. Our classes are aimed at adults and even those with absolutely no experience or fitness level can start!
We aim to give you confidence and the skills both mentally and physically, to defend yourself in the world we live in.
A few things we’re great at
Whatever you are looking to achieve, from increasing your fitness, improving your self confidence, reducing your stress levels or learning practical skills to protect yourself and your loved ones, Krav Academy provides a safe and welcoming environment for you to do so.
As the quote above suggests, there are some simple principles of self defence and we believe that a great way of defending yourself is using a system called Krav Maga, which is effective, proven and also very easy to learn.
Our team are passionate about helping you to conquer your fears and fulfill your goals.

What is Krav Maga
Krav Maga is an effective, modern, and dynamic self-defence system. It is designed to be practical and intuitive for people of any age, shape, or size to be able to learn. The techniques work on using natural and instinctive movements, allowing you to develop skills quickly and efficiently. You will learn how to defend yourself and your loved ones, while gaining confidence and fitness.
Best Defence
Krav Maga is the best pure self defence system and there are no competitions or showcases for self defence scenarios.
Train Scenarios
We train on how to avoid scenarios to begin with, and if it is already beyond the point of no return, we train you to use the most effective strikes and techniques to get yourself to safety.
WALK IN PEACE
As quoted by our founder Imi Litchenfeld, we train in Krav Maga “so that one may walk in peace.”
Complete system
We do not train in Krav Maga to start fights or show off. We train to save our own lives and the lives of our loved ones.
What is the IKMF

Student Testimonials
Dont’t take our word for it – here’s what our students say:
“I’m so happy I found the Krav Academy, not only do the classes teach you really useful skills in self defence and give you confidence, it also keeps me on top of my fitness levels working out with a bunch of super lovely humans every week at a pace to suit me.”
Mel
Haslemere
I love Krav because I get so much from it; it’s social, I learn practical skills and get fit and strong at the same time. The teachers are second to none and go out of their way to make your time at Krav the best it can be.
Matt
Godalming
“For me Krav Maga self defence and combat training should be taught in secondary schools and on the curriculum. The varied techniques are highly relevant to some of the risks teenagers face today such as knife attacks and abduction. Andy and his team at Krav Academy provide a very safe, inclusive and nurturing environment for both male and female members. My daughter’s confidence and street awareness have developed enormously since she joined the club 4 years ago”.
