Krav Maga teaches you how to defend yourself using simple, effective techniques that stress immediate safety. Our system incorporates teachnings from multiple disciplines, but everything geared towards the needs of the average person.
This specialized training helps you develop both mentally and physically, integrating cardio intensive exercises with the most modern self-defense methods. The guiding principle of Krav Maga is to neutralize the threat quickly, in the simplest and most instinctive way possible. Beginning at a basic level and progressing through intermediate and advances levels, our Krav Maga instruction includes the following self-defense techniques:
Hand-to-Hand Combat
Covering all aspects and ranges of fighting, this component encompasses standing, striking, clinching, pressure points and ground fighting. LOTAR addresses the 360-degree concept of self-defense, which takes into consideration your entire environment.
Gun Defense
Learn quick, simple, and instinctive techniques when faced with the threat of a gun, including compliance. The goal is to minimize injury and maximize your chances of survival.
Stick, Knife and Edged Weapon Defense
This training teaches you how to defend yourself against a blunt object and knife attacks, as well as using everyday implements as improvised weapons.
Our Krav Maga Program
Elite Training Center’s Krav Maga system teaches moderation of techniques to fit less lethal situations, protecting one’s self while minimizing harm to the attacker. Our guiding principals include:
- Stay unharmed
- Neutralize the attacker
- Escape quickly
- Be prepared for multiple attackers
- Stay off the ground
- Transition from defensive to offensive with multiple strikes, kicks, knees, elbows and other techniques
- Use intuitive, simple actions
- Exploit vulnerable points on the body to expedite escape
- Use any available objects as weapons
Our instructors emphasize two training rules. First, there are no rules in a fight, and second, safety to self and partner when training are paramount. Training uses pads or focus mitts so students may experience striking or receiving blows at full power. We focus on technique and application, while sometimes using loud music or other distractions to teach students to concentrate under stress and distraction. To simulate real-world situations, students may be worked aerobically to near exhaustion, then required to defend as they might on the streets.
Elite Training Center also emphasizes the teaching of situational awareness and observation to understand your surroundings and potentially threatening circumstances before an attack is launched.
