WELCOME

KRAV MAGA is a self defence system which anyone can learn. Created for the Israeli

Defence Forces, it is now used by the army, police and civilians all over the world. It is

taught to men, women and children of all ages.

Krav Maga teaches how to respond to everyday attacks using the body's natural reflexes.

There are no complex moves or rituals. It is designed to be quick to learn, easy to

remember and can be applied straight away.

How would you deal with being choked from behind, grabbed or attacked with a knife or

stick ? Through Krav Maga you'll learn how to cope with these kinds of situations.

Potential Krav Maga Instructors must pass a full-time course which is examined by top

instructors from around the world. This includes written exams and tests to ensure they

can fight when tired and under stress, as well as coaching. Extensive training is given

to the technical, physical and mental aspects of self-defence and hand-to-hand combat.

Rigourous testing is given throughout the Program with a final test over several hours in

the above mentioned aspects. A thorough examination is also undertaken on the coaching

aspects of Krav Maga to ensure that the instructors who qualify can pass on the information

in a safe,effective manner.

Steve Maycock passed this course in 2005. He has well over 30 yrs of experience in many

combat systems, including Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Russian martial art, including

a 3rd Dan in Ju-Jitsu amongst other qualifications and trained with some of the finest

instructors throughout the world. In addition to training Krav Maga, Steve is also

currently enhancing his experience and qualifications by training under world

renowned martial artist and BAFTA award winning author Geoff Thompson(Geoffs

autobiographical film is due for release in 2008 !)

He runs Krav Maga classes in mainly in Birmingham and around the West Midlands area, as well as offering one to one coaching and small group intensive training.

‘Steve Maycock is a massively experienced martial artist with several decades of practice and teaching under his belt. He is one of the brave few, in that he places himself and his art under severe pressure and scrutiny to ensure a water tight system. As well as qualifying with honours as an instructor on my master class Steve Maycock is also one of the nicest, most genuine, generous and humble person I have yet to meet in my forty years of Martial Arts training. I highly recommend him, both as a friend and as a teacher.’
