About Us - Krav Maga Scotland

Krav Maga Scotland

Founded in 2006, KMS was the first Krav Maga school in Scotland designed with the goal to deliver high quality, practical self-defence training for the common threats we see and hear on everyday news. Since then KMS has grown into a strong and supportive community.

Our classes are filled with like-minded individuals who inspire confidence in each other, and they are led by a team of highly-skilled instructors and coaches. Our approach to self-defence is pragmatic and practical. We teach you with the skills you need to defend yourself and others when there is no other option except physical force. We also build your knowledge and awareness of violence dynamics, how to avoid threats and how to safely de-escalate when at all possible.

In addition to the scenario-based training we do in regular classes, we host quarterly seminars at our training facility in Fife. These seminars are available to Krav Maga Scotland students and external groups, and are wholly based upon real-life scenarios. Previous seminars have covered Home Invasions, Road Rage, Bar Fights, and Outdoor Assaults.

Testimonials

The seminars are absolutely superb! I was blown away by the amount of effort that goes into them and I learned so much. I walked out of there so proud to be part of this club!

Being a small, female, minority ethnic frontline healthcare worker unfortunately makes me an easy target for harassment and abuse. Since taking up Krav Maga, friends and colleagues have commented on my increasing confidence and self-assuredness. I like that it's not designed for weight-matched combat and can be adapted to my size and strengths.

Since coming back to Krav two years ago, my fitness has been moving back to where I want it to be. Still a lot of work to be done but my instructors are great, each week I learn something new and I feel I improve every time. Great bunch of people too!

Krav Maga is something I always look forward to. It has improved my fitness, but most importantly it has improved my mental health; I feel more confident in my abilities going out, meeting people, protecting my loved ones and protecting myself.

First class was great, an explanation of Krav Maga and it's tenets was given and then practical applications after the warm up. Very approachable, encouraging and friendly instructor! Coach Andy and the other students were also very friendly, helpful and kind to the new starts - it's quite daunting for me to start something new at my age and fitness level, however, I'm now confident that my fitness and knowledge will improve over time.
