Simon Pither, the organiser of Brixton Krav Maga - FEKM, would like to share some information with the sports community. Located in London, Brixton Krav Maga - FEKM is a self-defence school, kickboxing school, and martial arts club. Simon and his skilled team of instructors offer straightforward and effective self-defence training within a friendly environment.
The club's focus is on helping members improve their fitness, strength, and flexibility through the practice of Krav Maga. Brixton Krav Maga - FEKM is open to everyone, regardless of skill level, from complete beginners to those with previous martial arts experience.
One of the key methods at Brixton Krav Maga - FEKM is scenario-based training. This approach covers defence against specific attacks or threats, making self-defence techniques practical and realistic. By slowing down these scenarios, even new members can get to grips with the basics and leave each class more confident in their abilities.
Krav Maga, the core discipline at Brixton Krav Maga - FEKM, was created in the 1930s by Imi Lichtenfeld, later becoming a cornerstone of the Israeli Defence Force's training. The European Federation of Krav Maga (FEKM), founded in 1997 by Richard Douieb, continues Lichtenfeld's legacy and is now the largest Krav Maga organisation globally, boasting over 25,000 members across 15 countries.
Simon Pither, who leads the training in London, is a 3rd Darga Black Belt Instructor and the President of FEKM-UK. Since 1995, Simon's extensive background in Judo, Kung Fu, and self-defence has enabled him to develop a practical curriculum. His position as the highest-grade British black belt in the FEKM allows him to provide top-level instruction by regularly training with senior instructors from Paris.
For those wishing to continue their training after the Basics Course, Brixton Krav Maga - FEKM offers various membership options. These memberships include a free training t-shirt and white belt, training insurance, and a year's membership with the FEKM-UK.
Situated centrally in Brixton, the club attracts members from areas such as Dulwich, Norwood, Herne Hill, Streatham, Tooting, and Croydon. Additionally, they provide a hybrid Krav Maga programme for learning self-defence both at home and in the club.
For any individual interested in self-defence or discovering Krav Maga, Brixton Krav Maga - FEKM offers a safe and welcoming environment to develop these valuable skills. Join the club and be part of this enthusiastic community.
