AUTHENTIC KRAV MAGA DIRECT FROM ISRAEL

“As the first and best Krav Maga club on the Wirral (est. April 2011), we began as a small gym focusing on the requirement for a need to train individuals in a reality-based system that can be learned by everyone. Initially, having the privilege of adapting the Real Combat System (created by Geoff Thompson), we were able to recognise the robustness and effectiveness of the Israeli Protect Krav Maga system and incorporate the syllabus into our club. Ever since, we have continued to prepare individuals for unknown adversity and unforeseen physical dangers which can, unfortunately, present themselves in our day-to-day lives. If you’re serious about self-protection and the safety of your loved ones, this programme is for you.

Krav Maga Wirral has a tried and tested self-protection programme that is well suited to the self-defence situations encountered on the streets of the UK today.

Welcome to our effective set of programmes that are quickly becoming the UK’s preferred and trusted solution to providing personal and corporate personal protection. 

 

Krav Maga is Hebrew for Contact Combat. Our programmes have been developed as a result of many years of real time experience in dealing with verbal conflict, potential and actual violent situations.

This programme has changed my mindset completely with regards to mine and my families self protection. I am more aware of my surroundings and really understand the importance of maintaining distance. I found the different aspects of the course easy to understand and now some weeks on I still remember the techniques. Thank you Tony for a very enjoyable day doing Krav Maga

I was attacked by two men with a knife, I sustained multiple injuries but survived. This has affected my self confidence and I needed to get active and get on with my life again. Krav Maga deals with knife defence in depth so I decided on Krav Maga Wirral. I have nothing but praise for this course and the instructor

I trained with Tony in Israel.He knows what techniques bad people use. He will teach you how to 1) See a situation before it escalates. 2) Explore the options available.3) decide how to proceed.A pre emptive action will only be the very/very last option if several interactions have taken place in an effort to avoid violence.This is what I like about him, he understands and communicates the verbal and psychological aspects of real fighting.But if you have to fight he will also show you how to end the situation fast.As an instructor he said "My job is that you come home safe"- and I agree with his motto.

I have always been interested in the martial arts, having years of experience in different styles. When I started PKM krav maga I quickly realised how much more effective it was. I received a warm welcome from the club members and felt right at home. I have learned how to avoid violence when necessary and I have also learnt how to defend myself in a violent situation. I have been lucky enough to receive first class training from a master of krava maga (tony Preston) and also two of his highly experienced black belts with over 20 years experience between them (Simon and Mark). I would most definitely recommend team PKM to anyone who is interested in self defence . I can safely say its the most effective training I have received in any other defensive art and it has now helped me develop myself both physically and mentally. I feel safe, wherever I go.

Initially, I was giving it a month, see how I went. 5 months later still attending going forward. Advocate PKM without hesitation. Instructors are professional and knowledgeable. Easy going and very approachable. Not just about learning self defence, as well as gaining self confidence. It much more than that. It's about being part of a fantastic friendly team and training along side individuals whom are extremely supportive, selfless and giving with their advice. Combined with a sense of humour

I have only just started Krav Maga and I was a little bit nervous about coming along to my first session as I am physically not the fittest and also wasn’t sure if I’d be the only female in the group. From the moment I stepped through the door I was made to feel so welcome by everyone and I’m so pleased that I’ve got the opportunity to learn alongside such a great group of people. I really liked how the skills we were being taught were tailored to each of us. Myself and the other female in the group, for example, were taught to use different strategies if we had a height and size difference to a male opponent. Everyone was so supportive and I can’t wait to carry on learning how to protect myself at Protect Krav Maga!

I didnt know what to expect when i first turned up but its a place of respect you become part of the family, not only is PKM amazing for your mind but the teachings make sure that if you're ever backed up into a corner you know how to protect yourself. The best thing to do is force yourself out of your comfort zone and train with PKM.

I wish I had found this group years ago! After falling into bad habits and routines after injury and then covid . I lacked motivation, confidence and direction. At the start of 2023 I had enough of what i was doing. I managed to find this group and its changed me dramatically I started having something to look forward to thru the week. And I wanted to improve all the time and be the best i can possibly be mentally and physically. I can’t thank the lads enough at PKM they welcomed me and inspired me. Great team vibes with in the group I have been making great friends. Absolutely 1st class training by my instructors they have been incredible and I really appreciate the time and effort they put in as it’s definitely transformed me in the time i have been there. My family and friends can’t believe how much healthier and professional i have become.
