Welcome to Krav Maga Bristol (Filton), part of the British Krav Maga Association.
Krav Maga is the official self defense system of the Israeli military and is becoming the worlds fastest growing reality based self defence system. It is now taught to over 500 military and law enforcement units throughout the world.
At Krav Maga Bristol in Filton you will learn real Krav Maga, taught by a qualifed Krav Maga Instructor - Aron Gilson.
If you are new to Krav Maga, here are a few questions you may be asking yourself:
Why does Krav Maga work?
Reactions are quickest when they are instinctive. When people are put under a lot of pressure and stress when being attacked, the vast majority of people will not be able to react quickly enough if they have to think about what technique they need to use. By the time they have thought of the correct technique, more often than not, it will be too late. Krav Maga makes use of instinctive reactions, slightly modified, and a small amount of techniques which can be used on a large amount of different attacks. This combination results in very little “lag” between the attack, and your defence. This is why Krav Maga works.
Will training at Krav Maga Bristol get me fit?
Absolutely. Fighting back and defending yourself is exhausting – even for fit people. You’ve got to be fit to fight! At Krav Maga Bristol in Filton you will become very fit. I make a concerted effort to make the conditioning exercises different, enjoyable and hard. You will do exercises that you have done before and many that you haven’t. Think there is only 1 type of press-up? We will do at least 10 different types. Although not on the first night! ;-) Ever done the bear walk, crab walk, crocodile walk and cheetah? Maybe - maybe not. Either way, these exercises will get you fit – really fit.

I want to practice and develop my punching and kicking. Will we do that too?
Absolutely, and lots of it! 99% of self defence techniques do not work unless the attacker has been struck in some way, be it a knee to the groin or a punch to the jaw. Generally outside of the conditioning element of a class, half of the time is dedicated to striking or what we call “combatives” and the other half of the session covers self defence techniques – which also include combatives. And we are not talking about punching kicking and kneeing into fresh air. At Krav Maga Filton you will always get to hit focus pads, kick pads and punch bags – hard! The aim is to develop good striking technique and power, so that if you are attacked, you can respond with overwhelming force in a short period of time.
