Krav Maga Self Defense and Fitness, Portland Oregon

Krav Maga: The official self defense and
fighting system of the Israeli Defense Forces,
also known for high intensity, functional fitness training

Krav Maga techniques were developed and tested on real battlefields. They were designed to work, for men and women, large or small, young or old. The tactics are proven to quickly eliminate threats and keep you out of harm's way. The moves are simple to perform because they were designed to work powerfully with your body's natural instincts. This makes Krav Maga easier to master, even for a novice. With Krav Maga you will become physically fit and gain the peace of mind that comes from not being afraid.

This street oriented self defense system is favored by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies accross the U.S. The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office and the Canby Police Dept. have recently adopted Krav Maga as their official defensive tactics training. Many officers from the Portland Police Bureau and other local agencies also train here at our school in Milwaukie.

While experienced fighters and law enforcement officers have consistently praised its highly practical applications, Krav Maga also has a broad appeal because of its simple, no-nonsense approach to safely surviving modern day physical violence, including attacks with guns and knives, and multiple attackers.

Most students report that their confidence in their ability to protect themselves rapidly improves in a matter of months, not years, as is typical for those training in many traditional martial arts.

"Unlike most martial arts, Krav Maga is extremely effective for the street.

Krav Maga is the real thing."
