Overview

CROSS Krav Maga is a separate system based on Krav Maga It is a self-defence survival system that is based on Krav Maga that is designed to encourage the individual to use what works for them. We are all different in our size, strength, speed, agility . Cross Krav Maga is designed to help even the odds between you and your attacker, it teaches key survival skills and how to react if attacked utilising flinch responses , it will rapidly develop an awareness of what self defence works and what doesn’t. We look on the perspective that will it work for me if i was a woman of 8 stone, this way we are not learning to fight force with force, as there are always someone stronger than you, we use mindset, redirection and attack the attacker to deal with what threat confronts us, and to ideally escape and get home safe. HONEST SELF DEFENCE Does Size and weight matter ? Yes, of course it does, and knowing that can help us to understand that escaping or doing enough to facilitate an escape and getting home safe is all that matters! You don’t need training to successfully defend yourself in some circumstances. You do need training however if you want to begin to learn what it is exactly that you don’t know. You do need training to force your mind into making vital and potentially life altering decisions, under stress, in very short periods of time without relying on blind luck to get you through. You do need training to recognise some of the very subtle indicators that a predator is running you through their victim selection process, and you certainly need training to come close to understanding what a violent encounter is actually like if you’ve never found yourself in one. So while I’ll stand behind the statement that in some instances you don’t need training to successfully defend yourself I can’t think of a single event where it would hurt to know just a little bit more… look at it as an insurance policy that actually pays out if you ever needed it! At Cross Krav Maga Academy we do not have such a rigid syllabus as we want our students to react quickly and calmly to a rapid change of attack, with this in mind we teach these main principles, Three points of Contact, Relative Position, simultaneous attack and defence, centre line theory and Balance Displacement this way our coaches can teach their students to always expect the unexpected and can react positively to situations presented.
