Our club is friendly, the Krav Maga instruction is among the best you will find in the UK, and you will get fitter, stronger and more flexible along the way – what’s not to like ?!
Self defence is the core framework of Krav Maga and as such, a large part of each class is based around what is called ‘scenario based training’, where a defence against a specific attack or threat type is demonstrated and then broken down slowly and practised – it is exactly this approach that makes krav maga different from a martial art – you should leave every class with realistic skills to better defend yourself.

I joined the FEKM club this summer and I haven't looked back since. It's a great way to stay fit. The warm ups are really good at getting you into the Krav Maga mindset and then you're thrown into specific skillsets and techniques. Simon is the perfect teacher with his combination of patience and clear instructions. It's fun, fast and effective! More...

Great classes at convenient locations and times, instructors are worth giving it a try. Compared to other classes I've done before, there is a big focus on cardio and to cover a wide range of self-defence situations! All explained with great consideration and even humour. More...

An extremely well run self defence group with excellent teaching. Multiple sessions running throughout the week ensure you're not tied to a particular day and you can attend as few/many as you want. The sessions themselves are practical and combine warm ups, training techniques, sparring and applying what you've learnt. The classes appear to appeal to all types as age, height, fitness and gender does not hinder people from doing any of the activities and people can progress at their own pace. All in all a great workout. More...

A great bunch of people to train with! Regardless of your level of experience you will feel welcomed and at ease to learn Krav Maga along with everyone. Simon, the instructor, delivers all instructions and demonstrations with detailed clarity, taking you step by step into achieving every move and combination you previously felt were impossible for you to pull off. And all the time during practice you are being helped by the more senior students as well, who guide you through the execution of the moves and its foundational principles. More...

I have been training with Simon and the others for several weeks now. Despite me being very shy about anything to do with a punch or a kick, everyone has been very welcoming. The team has been great, Simon is a great teacher, takes you through scenarios and techniques bit by bit and I feel I've been able to improve at my own rate, which helped me face my own challenges. I could not recommend this club enough. The beginner's training event is a great time to join as it shows exaclty how every training session will be laid out. More...

This is an amazing class! I'm relatively new and from the very beginning I have been made to feel nothing but welcome. The classes are very diverse with different age groups so would fit anyone of any age. Directions are always clear and in this very short time I feel I have learned a lot. All instructors are very approachable and will help guide you when you may not be getting a move correct.If you are looking for a self defence class or a way to get fit and learn something new then I highly reccommend Krav Defence.

As a petite woman, I've often thought it would be a good idea to learn martial arts. So the Krav Maga Self Defence - Brixton seemed like the perfect opportunity.
It's great! I get a good workout, and already feel more comfortable walking down the street alone. Simon is also a gifted instructor. He demands excellence and technical precision, but in a way that is extremely encouraging.
I highly recommend!

I find Krav Maga in Brixton an excellent club for learning the no-holds-barred self-defence system of Krav Maga. The instructor Simon has an open and friendly training style and the relaxed attitude of the other Krav Maga trainees helps to make the sessions fun and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to take up a Krav Maga. More...

Great balance between warm-up and practical lessons. The teaching structure is very well-thought based on people's needs so you can be sure that even if you miss a lesson you will be able to follow through. Great mix of individuals with different level of abiiities so your lesson will always vary based on who you are working with, which reflects more accurately real-life situations. More...

Great club with great people. Simon is an excellent teacher, he thinks of new exercises in the warm-ups and is always bringing in new content in the self-defense part of the session. What is great is that he returns to the same move a few weeks later for recap to see if we still can perform them correctly. More...

Being able to assist people to develop confidence in their own abilities, as well as gain a greater understanding of potential self defence scenarios. Imparting skills and a wider understanding of Krav Maga, Self Defence and how they relate to UK Law.
More specifically, I love running a session which has loads of energy and effort and where people leave the room with a smile on their face, already looking forward to the next session!
