Questions on the following topics:
Entry & participation
Yes, definitely. We divide our training into beginners and advanced, so you can start at any time.

KRAV MAGA
We focus on realistic self-defense techniques, without restrictions due to sporting fairness - in an emergency, only self-protection counts.
No. KRAV MAGA is not a protected term, which is why the quality and style of the training content can vary greatly. Our team of trainers is trained at KRAV MAGA Global › and has additional didactic qualifications, including ongoing further training by international specialists. This is how we guarantee authentic and comprehensive training.
We are the only school in Berlin to offer the "real" Expert Level of a leading international Israeli KRAV MAGA organization that is continuously developing the system. This means you benefit from a high level of competence, efficiency and new techniques that are regularly updated.
No, tests are voluntary. Everyone learns the same techniques, regardless of participation in level tests. Patches will win no fight.

Equipment & clothing
All you need for the trial training are jogging pants or shorts, a T-shirt, clean sneakers and, if available, a groin guard.
For adults and teens, groin guards, mouth guards, shin guards and boxing gloves (men: 14 oz., women: 12 oz.) or hybrid boxing gloves are recommended for safe training. We also recommend at least a groin guard for children.

We recommend a water bottle, a small towel, plasters and a cooling pad in case of minor injuries.
Special questions

Our members come from a wide variety of backgrounds - from law enforcement, trades and studies to office work, medicine, acting, the military and many more. This diversity makes us proud, because we have a place for everyone who behaves respectfully and has no history of violence.
Yes, this is possible if the other school accepts external candidates. Please inform us in advance so that we can approve the level testing. You will need a KMG shirt for the test.
