Oxford University K.O. Krav Club

We train and teach Krav Maga, a modern martial art specifically created for self-defence.

Interested in learning how to defend yourself when someone is actually threatening you? Welcome to K. O. Krav!

Krav Maga is an Israeli martial art specially developed for modern-day self-defence. Its key selling points are realism and simplicity. Rather than teaching spectacular techniques which take years to master, Krav focuses on training your instincts and reflexes to deal with real-life situations. In our classes, you can expect to learn:

- Striking techniques, practised on pads
- Defences against the most common types of attacks
- Techniques to control an opponent and /or bring them to the ground
- Scenarios that teach you how to react quickly in a realistic, chaotic environment
- Communication skills necessary to avoid conflict in the first place
- Exercises to improve general fitness and conditioning
- An understanding of violence psychology and dynamics

All of our teaching is in the context of UK self-defence law. We want our students to defend themselves in both an effective and legal way.
