'Krav' meaning 'Contact' and 'Maga' meaning Combat. Krav Maga (pronounced “krahv mahGAH”) in Hebrew is a Military self-defense and fight system developed for the IDF. Krav Maga is an effective, modern, and dynamic self-defense and fighting system. It is designed to be practical and intuitive for people of any age, shape, or size. The techniques expand on your natural instincts to develop skills quickly and effectively, while enabling you to address attacks under any scenario. You will learn how to defend yourself and your loved ones, while gaining increased awareness and instinctive reflexes.

At KMFJ, we believe in providing the best in self-defense training, focusing on realistic scenarios with high-quality instruction and attention. Our classes are serious, but ego-free, safe, and fun. Krav Maga Fiji is your best source of authentic self defence training. All of our instructors are trained, certified, and professional, with extensive experience. 

No experience is necessary to begin Krav Maga. In the beginning, you will learn basic stances, striking, techniques for falling and getting up safely, and basic defenses against common attacks including chokes and headlocks. In addition to learning how to deal with an attack, you will train to perform better under stress and learn awareness and prevention techniques that will help keep you from getting into problematic situations. After mastering the basics, advanced students will train to deal with multiple simultaneous attackers, weapons, complicated situations, and learn advanced combative and weapon techniques (standing up or on the ground).

For beginners, Krav Maga P-1 classes(Open Class)  are the perfect class to take for your first class in Krav Maga. We rotate through the material constantly and do not have a set rotation or a set “introductory class”. We find that most students cover and practice all of the material sufficiently after about 4 months or 35 classes to be ready for the P1-to-P2 test. We know it’s sometimes intense to join in on an ongoing class, but this is a part of the training. Self-defense means training under intense and unsettling circumstances. If you want to be able to react calmly during the unexpected, it’s critical that you train under stress. Join in, and do your best. All ages, shapes, and sizes can learn life saving skills from Krav Maga training.

‘Part of the Krav Maga philosophy is that the best way to win a fight is not to get into a fight. So we spend a lot of time figuring out how do you de-escalate situations and win through avoidance of conflict,’  When conflict is unavoidable, Krav Maga teaches how to use everything at your disposal to neutralize a threat while remaining calm under pressure.” 

Most students progress to their first test within 3-4 months, and during this progression grow to become much more capable and aggressive when necessary. Our grading system is not based on how long you train but based on how well you fight and progress daily, you will be assessed on skills (under stress), stamina and strength. students must demonstrate overall balance. 

Traditional martial arts may offer a host of benefits but are not optimal for fighting. Self Defence and traditional martial arts are 2 different subjects and most confuse the 2, especially in Fiji.
Krav Maga is self defense – defined as a combatant taking aggressive action against you; forcing you to respond. Often, this includes being taken by surprise and learning to defend from an initial “position of disadvantage” and moving to a “position of advantage” to neutralize the threat.
