Krav Maga: Real-World Self-Defense for Teens and Adults

Krav Maga is a modern, practical, and highly effective self-defense system developed to help people protect themselves in real-life situations. Originally created in the early 1900s at the renowned Wingate Institute in Netanya, Israel, Krav Maga has since evolved into one of the most widely respected self-defense systems in the world.

By the late 1970s and early 1980s, it began being taught to civilians, and is now used globally by military units, law enforcement agencies, and everyday individuals seeking real-world protection. What sets Krav Maga apart is its simplicity and effectiveness.

The techniques are based on natural human instincts, allowing students to learn quickly and respond efficiently under stress. It’s designed to work in a wide variety of scenarios, from common street encounters to high-threat situations, without relying on complicated choreography or sport-based rules. There are no competitions, point systems, or fancy moves—just direct, functional techniques aimed at survival and safety.

At Confluence Krav Maga, our Teens and Adults train in a full, authentic Krav Maga program. Our certified instructors received their training directly from the birthplace of Krav Maga, the Wingate Institute. Our curriculum not only teaches powerful self-defense tactics, but also the mindset, awareness, and principles necessary to stay safe in an unpredictable world.

Whether you're looking to gain confidence, protect yourself and your loved ones, or simply get in great shape, this program offers an exciting and supportive environment where you'll be challenged, empowered, and welcomed. No matter your age, experience level, or physical condition—this system is for everyone.
