Welcome to KM Scotland.

KM Scotland is an official IKMF affiliated organisation that specialises in providing self protection tuition using Krav Maga (the Israeli hand to hand combat method) as its core system.

You have invested a great deal of time throughout your life in safety. Safety around the home.  Safety whilst driving.  Safety when out walking or jogging. Safety at work. Even safety when socializing at night. What can be done then - when - out of all the safety procedures and skills you have learned – none of them will help in your greatest moment of need.

The answer is Krav Maga.

A solution that is easy to learn, but very hard to forget.
A simple and very natural self defence system.

Most of the martial arts are divided into two major groups – traditional - like Aikido, kendo, kung fu and a lot more. The second group is sport and competitive martial arts – judo and tai kwon do are good examples.

Krav maga does not belong to any of these well respected groups.

It is not a traditional martial art because all of the movements are short and practical, there is no flowing grace nor beauty within the system. Neither is it a competitive sport as there are no rules, weight categories or competitions. The main focus is always on self defence, in the most simple, natural, short and effective way. We do not build ourselves to be champions or the strongest in a specific field.

We can teach almost anyone in almost any physical condition how to defend themselves in the most natural and effective manner, as aforementioned, it is a very easy system to learn but difficult to forget. This is largely due to the fact that the techniques are already within you – it just takes a short time, some practice and the realisation that these reflexive movements have been in your genetic make up for millions of years. All we do is help them come to the front of your mind whenever a confrontational situation arises and they are needed.

Krav maga is highly recommended for those individuals who come face to face with violent situations as part of their job - law enforcement and many branches of the security industry being good examples. Krav maga is also recommended for men and women who want to learn how to defend themselves quickly but cannot commit to the years of devotion that traditional self defence training has taken to learn in the past.

There are a great many aspects to safety in our life - if you are aware of a shortfall in your personal safety, then learning this simple yet devastating life skill will certainly go a long way towards filling that gap.
