Krav Maga (“krahv magah” or “Contact Combat”) is the official self-defense and fighting system originally created for the Israeli Defense Forces, and adopted by various military branches, law enforcement agencies, and civilians around the world.Literally born, tested, and refined through combat, Krav Maga takes a truly reality-based approach to self protection and adapts it for anyone regardless of age or athleticism.

Focusing on techniques that are simple to learn, easy to perform under stress, and highly effective, Krav Maga has only one rule, “Do whatever is necessary to go homesafe.”

​

The Southpaw Krav Maga program at Ronin upholds this simple philosophy by not only teaching the principles and techniques of the system, but developing the appropriate mindset ultimately needed to survive any violent encounter from deescalation toneutralization. Every class focuses on teaching techniques through proper progressions for every student, then testing both the technique and student through realistic scenarios and drills.
