AR Krav Maga Self-defence Training is an official award-winning Three Best Rated Martial Arts - Krav Maga Self-defence School in Norwich.
The Chief Instructor of AR Krav Maga Self-defence Training is Tony who is an Expert Level 1 Instructor (1st Degree Black Belt) in Krav Maga.
If you wish to learn self defence you will be happy to hear that AR Krav Maga are the "only" provider of authentic Krav Maga Self-defence Training here in Norwich and the surrounding areas.
There are no traditional or sporting elements in Krav Maga. Our training methods are based on the adaptation of instinctive responses through principal based learning, making it easy to remember and resulting in you acquiring skills that become practical in a short space of time, which are immediately useful in stressful and unpredictable situations.
Where martial arts generally deal with 1-on-1 situations, Krav Maga Training will teach you how to deal with multiple attackers, the different stages of a fight and many avoidance techniques. Like on the streets, Krav Maga has no rules or limitations but it does have several principles and must also be lawful.

Are the people in AR Krav Maga friendly?
YES! Our Krav Maga classes are friendly and informal. Instructors use their first name. The focus is on learning practical self-defence Techniques, the Tactical, Mental and Physical aspects and their applications.
We do not accommodate egos and have zero tolerance for bad behaviour or bullies in any of our classes.
How long will it take to learn?
- Krav Maga is built on natural reactions, minimum effort with maximum success. It is therefore quick to pick up and easy to learn.
- You will learn useful, practical things from lesson one, and the more often you train the more you will learn.
Is Krav Maga Safe?
Similar to a martial art or contact sport, there is the possibility of injury. However, specifically designed warm-ups are always conducted to reduce this risk. We very much encourage and expect our students to respect their partner’s bodies when training. AR Krav Maga teaching is firmly based on the principles of Safe System of Training that being safe place, safe person, safe equipment and safe practice. However, should there be an injury your instructors are qualified first aiders.
What Should I Expect At Krav Maga Classes?
You should expect to learn practical self-defence skills, get fit whilst increasing your confidence. Krav Maga was developed for men, women and children of all ages and abilities. We scale the intensity of the class up or down depending on the fitness level of our students. You go at your own pace.
Each class involves some functional fitness, power exercises and warm up games. We then work on some striking and self-defence techniques from the KMG syllabus. We end the class with some summary drills and conditioning exercises.
You will be working with a partner, or in small groups throughout the class. The instructor will demonstrate and teach you the various Krav Maga techniques along with the tactical behaviour that comes with Krav Maga training, such as how to avoid dangerous people and dangerous places.
You are certain of a good work out whilst learning effective self defence moves. Expect to work hard, sweat a little, make some friends and have fun.

Are there any hidden costs?
AR Krav Maga members must purchase an annual Krav Maga Global (KMG) Student License, costing just £30 per year. It provides you with the following:
- Membership to KMG UK

- Personal Accident Cover
What should I wear?
For your initial trial classes a tracksuit or loose comfortable clothing and clean indoor trainers are ideal.
What equipment do I need?
Once you have joined the club and received your equipment pack you will have all the basic equipment and club uniform you will need. All other training equipment is provided but students often purchase their own individual items as they progress, especially if they want to practice at home. A groin guard and gum shield is essential for safe and realistic training. All additional equipment and clothing is available to purchase through our AR Krav Maga Shop or the KMG UK Shop.
Do I need to be fit?
Krav Maga was developed for men, women and children of all ages and abilities. We do not expect any of our students to have a high degree of physical fitness. We scale the intensity of the class up or down depending on the fitness level of our students. So no, you do not need to be fit. As long as you are prepared to give it a go, you will be fine.
Is Krav Maga training suitable for women?
Yes. Women do Krav Maga worldwide and are very welcome in all our classes. We also have a women only class available.
Are there Gradings or Tests?
Yes there is. KMG award students ‘ranks’ represented by patches that indicate their current level. Our curriculum is structured into five Practitioner levels, five Graduate levels and five Expert levels.
They are not mandatory; however should you wish to grade, they would definitely aid your progression. Grading’s are really just a measure of what you have learned. Unlike martial arts, there are no national competitions so at grading’s you will have the opportunity to demonstrate what you have learned with a partner at the same level. Achieving a grading tells us you have consolidated what you need to know and are ready to learn the next level of techniques. Do not worry about gradings.
If you do nothing else today, remember this:
"It’s better to avoid than to run; better to run than to de-escalate; better to de-escalate than to fight, better to fight than to die. The very essence of self-defence is a short list of principles that might just get you out alive when you’re already screwed". - Rory Miller
Due to its Israeli heritage, AR Krav Maga self defence training is widely recognised as the most comprehensive reality based self defence system in the world today.
