Want to learn Krav Maga, but worried it might be too physical, too intense, or that you could get hurt? Low-Impact Krav Maga gives you practical, real-world self-defence training at a gentler pace, with less impact and physical intensity.
No previous experience or fitness level required.

"I've been training Krav Maga under lead instructors Dave and Andrea for over 2 years, and I must say - these guys are amazing! Dave is a true professional with lots of ratings in self-defence and Krav Maga under his belt; he is also the IKMF Canada director, which says a lot.
All classes are extremely friendly and open to students, yet very intense in terms of the physical activity, which is exactly what I was looking for. All classes are structured to provide various Krav techniques to students according to their levels with the goal to progress on the IKMF scale. If you are searching for a reliable self-defence course and want to boost your confidence, look no further! Highly recommended!"

KRAV MAGA — DONE DIFFERENTLY
Less intensity. More time to learn.
Krav Maga was designed for every body. Just because you may have physical limitations, have a lower level of fitness, or simply not want the intensity of a traditional Krav Maga class doesn't mean you can't learn how to protect yourself. Effective self-defence isn't about being the strongest, fastest or fittest person in the room — it's about learning how to use what you have effectively.
This is still real Krav Maga — with the physical intensity dialed down. You'll learn practical self-defence skills and principles, but with less cardio, less getting up and down from the ground, and less hard striking on pads and bags. Instead, you'll have more time to develop your technique, build your reactions, practise understanding options and making decisions, and ultimately gain confidence in what you can do. You'll still be challenged — just differently.

MORE THAN PHYSICAL SKILLS
Learn to recognize. Decide. Respond.
Self-defence isn't just about how hard or fast you can hit. You'll learn to recognize potential problems earlier, understand your options and make better decisions when you're under pressure. Training includes: - Situational awareness and threat recognition - Movement, positioning and maintaining safer distances - Using your voice and setting boundaries - Practical striking and defensive techniques - Defending against common grabs, holds and attacks - Developing your reaction time - Making decisions under pressure - Creating opportunities to disengage and get to safety The goal is to build skills you can understand, remember and use when you need them.
"Andrea and her team really know their stuff. They are excellent teachers, and their classes are super engaging. I've had to use some of what they taught me in the real world, and I was extremely glad to have those tools in my toolbox. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn how to defend themselves or just for a good workout."
