​​​IWKM is proudly affiliated with global organization Hybrid Krav-Maga. Our coaches hold instructor diplomas awarded by HKM founder Tommy Blom after completing the HKM Instructor Program. The HKM Instructor program is divided into the three phases and the time in between where you are expected to hone your skills as a practitioner and instructor by training, assisting and teaching at your local school.
​
​​At IWKM we cover all aspects of self defence including dealing with more than one attacker at a time. Weapons defence against knife, bat & bottle attacks, at higher levels we deal with firearm threats. Krav Maga is the official self defence system used by the Israeli defence forces. ​Krav Maga does whatever works in order to protect yourself it uses an aggressive and continuous motion during any violent situation and targets all vulnerable parts of the body.​​
​
Safety to both the students and the instructors when training is a top priority. This is why our instructors also hold qualifications in emergency first aid. This requires both written and practical exams to be completed and observed by qualified NHS emergency care staff.
