Reviews of Blackburn Krav Maga

I have been training for over a year now at Blackburn Krav Maga and can say that this is true authentic Krav taught at a perfect pace and intensity by Ken. The training is suitable beginners and advanced students alike. The balance between striking practice and technical aspects such as defence against armed assault, takedowns and restraints is excellent. Ken is a highly knowledgeable trainer who lives and breathes authentic Israeli Krav Maga. Ken is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet and is always ready to help with his patient easy to understand teachings. Ken is happy to alter the training format to accommodate any specific requests from his students with regards to techniques they may feel would be relevant to their own personal circumstances. The concepts and techniques of Krav Maga are highly relevant to today's threats to personal safety. I have used the techniques and concepts taught by Ken in several "live" situations in my work as a door supervisor and can say that what is taught at Blackburn Krav Maga works!

I have gain p5 grading and am now taking my son to the kids class great atmosphere

And well planned classes well worth a try to keep fit and build confidence

Been attending since May 16. Instructor Ken and the more experienced members of the group are great at welcoming and encouraging you, going over moves so you get them right. My fitness has improved inside and outside of the class. I have no previous experience of any martial arts so I am finding it challenging yet as the class covers different abilities I am not out of place. The self defence covers real life scenarios so is good and has made me more confident when I am new places on my own. A typical class starts with a warm up, some combative fitness moves, then what I what would call the lesson working in small groups or pairs, then something different and fun that uses the moves from earlier / previous weeks. Expect a good work out as well as learning self defence and counter attacks. Various types of pads and weapons are used. Expect a few bruises as well. The instruction is thorough.

A really dedicated and enthusiastic coach and a relaxed atmosphere

Make Blackburn Krav Maga a great place to learn how to defend

Yourself . With fitness drills for all capability it's really worth a try.

I thoroughly enjoy these classes and can't wait every week for the next one! They are well thought out, and give you a great confidence. Ken the instructor is top notch!

Having attended multiple classes in various other self defence/martial arts groups this by far is the best decision I've ever made, very realistic techniques and scenarios and very effective for any gender age etc, no pressure or confusing techniques. Ken is a great instructor and down to earth guy and what you see is what you get with this class simple but yet VERY effective techniques.

I was looking for a class that had the right mix, good enthusiastic students, quality instructor and a place to get fit and properly understand the details of self defense. I'm very glad I found this group as it ticks all the boxes. KM seems to be everything that Martial arts should be without the "floweriness" that seems to accompany most others which is exactly what I was looking for. I cannot recommend this group enough, Ken in particular is so enthusiastic about the sport that I can't wait for Thursday nights.

Professional coaching of authentic krav maga. Great to learn effective self defence techniques from a committed professionally trained coach. Try it! First class offered as a free introduction.
