As with other self-defense systems, Krav Maga first teaches you how to avoid getting into a fight. Retzev Academy will first teach you situational awareness – so that you can avoid getting into potentially dangerous situations. But in the real world, no matter what precautions you take, that’s not always possible. Pushed against the wall, figuratively or literally, you have two choices – take a beating or defend yourself.

At Retzev Academy, you will learn how to to that with Krav Maga, a self-defense system developed by Emrich “Imre” Lichtenfeld for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), where he was chief instructor for Physical Fitness and Krav Maga at the IDF School of Combat Fitness.

Retzev Academy will teach you this system based on the standards set by the International Krav Maga Federation.

Retzev is a Hebrew word that means “continuous motion.” At the Academy, you will learn the value of continuous motion, which you can only do if the techniques have become part of your instinctive reflexes. That means you can react spontaneously to any situation that comes up.

At Retzev Academy, you can learn to: BE MORE RESPONSIVE, BE MORE DECISIVE… BE MORE CONFIDENT
