FFC Old Town has partnered with Krav Acedemy, Inc to offer a full array of Krav Maga classes, allowing our members to learn real life self defense techniques used by the Israel Defense Forces. Krav Maga (contact combat) is a simple, effective self defense system that emphasizes instinctive movements, practical techniques, and realistic training scenarios. Every class combines the latest Krav Maga techniques and an international mix of the world’s most effective martial arts in a professional, safe and respectful environment. Working closely with the instructor in small groups, class participants not only learn martial arts skills while getting in top physical condition, but also develop their own personal power and learn to maintain sustainable balance in their lives.
