Chris, the organiser of K. O. Krav Club, wishes to share some important information with the sports community about their self-defence school located in Oxford, United Kingdom. Focusing on practical self-defence techniques and interpersonal skills, Chris aims to empower individuals of all levels and abilities to enhance their safety.
K. O. Krav Club welcomes anyone interested in learning self-defence through its adult classes. Whether you are a beginner or have previous experience, the classes provide a supportive and inclusive environment.
Participants will learn various self-defence techniques, including strikes, locks, disarms, and takedowns. The club also highlights the importance of verbal skills for handling real-life situations.
For those unable to commit to regular training, Chris offers one-off self-defence workshops tailored to the specific needs of groups. These workshops provide an opportunity to learn valuable skills in a condensed format.
Training sessions are held at the Acer Nethercott hall in the Iffley Sports Centre on Mondays from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. As of April 2022, in-person training has resumed, offering participants a hands-on learning experience.
Krav Maga, the martial art taught at K. O. Krav Club, originated in Israel and is known for its practicality and effectiveness in real-life situations. It has been proven effective in military, law enforcement, and civilian applications.
Training in Krav Maga offers benefits such as simple techniques adaptable to any body type, the ability to defend against real-life situations, improved physical fitness, and a friendly, ego-free club culture.
Chris understands the varied nature of violence and teaches a diverse range of skills, including strikes, locks, disarms, and verbal techniques. These techniques do not rely on strength, making them suitable for individuals of all sizes. Training also covers defending against multiple and armed assailants, preparing students for real-world violence through simulated dangerous situations, promoting situational awareness, confidence, and de-escalation skills.
Despite the serious nature of training, Chris ensures a welcoming and friendly atmosphere at K. O. Krav Club. Several social events are organised each term to foster a sense of community among members.
Newcomers to self-defence or those with prior experience are encouraged to attend a trial class or sign up for the club's mailing list to stay informed about upcoming events and classes.
