Question 1

Wait. Krav Ma-what?

Krav Maga. It means “Contact Combat” and was developed in the 30s and 40s to help the creator Imi Lichtenfeld, and his community, to defend themselves both on the street, and at war.

Question 2

Who can attend?

Anyone! Our images primarily feature women due to the high demand for women’s self-defense classes. However we support all marginalized communities and will be hosting LGBTQIA+ events as well! These events will be in partnership with the LGBTQIA+ Survivor Task Force (part of SD Pride)

Question 3

What if I am pregnant, or have an injury?

Question 4

Will I be triggered?

Question 5

Will I be triggered? Part Two

We therefore take every precaution with our events, and that is why our venues and the facilitators are chosen very specifically to provide you with a safe and secure environment. Laugh, cry, scream if you need to. Our certified facilitators will be there for you, regardless of your experience.

Do you take photos/videos of class?
