ABOUT WOMENS SELF DEFENCE CLASSES
Krav Maga has been developed to meet the specific needs and requirements of each type of student. The women’s curriculum developed by Hybrid Krav-Maga (HKM) is characterized by its effectiveness.
Size, strength and power disparities between the defender and the attacker are realities in self-defence training.
Most women will be confronted by threats who have a physical advantage in these three areas.
Krav Maga teaches effective responses to potential or active violence, even when the attacker has a physical advantage.
TECHNIQUES AND TACTICS SPECIFIC TO KRAV MAGA FOR WOMEN
When training women, we take into account a woman’s ability to improve and successfully defend, despite any misconceptions she may have about herself and her ability to fight and face physical challenges that require both strength and aggression.
HKM‘s training methods for women are based on years of experience, as well as numerous real-life situations in which women found our system to be the most effective.
Our Krav Maga for women system provides excellent self-defence skills, producing the highest rate of defence successes in facing and successfully repelling various types of attacks.
In addition to the technical and tactical training we also help women develop the right mindset to support and enhance their physical readiness to fight. This includes working to develop determination, persistence, and aggression as tools for women to use whenever the situation requires it.
WHY SHOULD WOMEN TRAIN KRAV MAGA?
PHYSICAL HEALTH
As with many types of physical exercise, Krav Maga will have a positive effect on your overall fitness levels. The difference between Krav Maga and traditional workouts? It’s not repetitive and it’s not exercise for the sake of exercise.
You will never be bored. You’ll make friends and learn a life skill while improving:
- Strength
- Endurance
- Stamina
- Power
- Core strength and tone
- Coordination and balance
SPECIFIC and effective SELF-DEFENCE TACTICS FOR WOMEN
When training women, we take into account a woman’s ability to improve and successfully defend, despite any misconceptions she may have about herself and her ability to fight and face physical challenges that require both strength and aggression.
- Generating power in striking
- Training to target the most vulnerable parts of the body with the most efficient attacks

- Techniques for high-danger violence such as weapon threats and attempted abductions
- Preventative attacks as effective defences
DEVELOPING THE RIGHT MINDSET FOR EFFECTIVE SELF-DEFENCE
Although it varies across cultures, it remains a common expectation that women are submissive, nurturing, helpful, and polite. Even to strangers. This can make women vulnerable to social and domestic violence.
Training at SGS Krav Maga will help you learn to push past social programming when necessary to effectively protect yourself or a loved one. With us you can learn to:
- Understand the freeze/fight/flight response and how to use them to your advantage
- Develop and channel the required level of aggression for violent encounters to defend yourself and your loved ones
- Emotional perseverance - learn to fight back until you reach your goal
- Improve effective decision-making under high stress
- Learn to trust your natural instincts
- Improve your coordination and balance
- Learn to carry your body in a way that communicates personal authority (not appealing to attackers)
- Live with confidence rather than fear
Most physical training boosts confidence. This confidence is gained in controlled environments: gyms, training centres, and with competent and understanding training partners.
Controlled environments are important for safety. SGS Krav Maga adheres to the highest safety standards and we take this one step further: we address the psychological reality of violent encounters.
Why is this important for women?
Confidence is important. False confidence is dangerous. All our practitioners are introduced to the realities of violence and are taught to accurately assess the situation and respond appropriately.
