The goal of these classes is to give you an introduction to some key elements of self-defence training, using the reality based self-defence system Krav Maga.

- Awareness of surroundings and "red flags"

- Managing distance and boundary-setting

- Striking effectively

- Defending against common types of attacks

- Mindset - Your own (controlled aggression and determination) and the attacker's (becoming a Hard Target)

New beginners are welcome in every class, no experience is required, and the classes are suitable for all fitness levels.

Most people feel a bit anxious before their first class - this is normal. You're doing something completely new. What surprises most people in their first session is how much fun they have!

If you have any questions or concerns before signing up for your first class, don't hesitate to email us and ask on info@rencounter.co.uk
