What is Krav Maga?
Krav Maga is the official self-defense system used by the Israeli Defense Forces. Founded by Imi Lichtenfeld, it is a form of hand-to-hand combat preferred by numerous military and law enforcement agencies worldwide. Since 1964 it has been available to civilians, and individuals from all walks of life train Krav Maga for its no-nonsense approach to self-defense.
The system is designed around the body’s natural movements and the student’s instinctive reactions, preparing you for a range of real-world scenarios — from multiple attackers to defense against various weapons. There is truly no other form of self-defense equal to Krav Maga when it comes to practical use.

What our students say
“When I first spoke with Dan about Krav Maga I was a bit skeptical, but that soon changed after I booked a personal session. As a female Peace Officer, Krav Maga provides training that can be life-saving and is very practical compared to other programs. In just one class I grasped a new concept in the way I need to fight if the occasion ever arises. Try one class and I promise your outlook will change — Krav is the way to go.”Alicia, Provincial Peace Officer
“I am a 34-year-old construction inspector and have spent much of my life pursuing various martial arts styles. I can honestly say that nothing compares to Krav Maga. It is a very effective combination of aggression, technique and fitness — a formidable hand-to-hand combat style that can be applied by anyone.”Mike Ryan
“I’m an Ontario Land Surveyor and have just had my 63rd birthday, now in my fourth year of Krav Maga. Since starting, I’ve improved my stamina and physical condition far beyond my expectations — I truly believe my fitness is equal to or better than it was in my late thirties. Dan Novak’s exceptional instruction has played a huge part in my improvement and confidence. Age is only a number: never, ever give up. Just get out there and do it!”Eric Salzer
