Carolina Self Defense & Krav Maga, Cary

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition? Krav Maga is NOT actually a martial art. We don't do katas​ ​or call anyone 'master.' Your child will learn the responsible use of defense and force if and when life requires it. Principles are adapted specifically for the common dangers children face in bullying/fighting/predator scenarios. They will learn to strike with their hands, elbows, feet, and knees. They will learn to bite, scratch, gouge, or do whatever it takes to escape a threat to their safety. They learn situational awareness to deal with scenarios BEFORE the real danger. They learn techniques to escape specific attacks.

We equip them physically, emotionally and psychologically to "be ready."

What was the inspiration to start or run this business? Our 'civil' world is becoming more and more uncivil all the time. Violence can come out of nowhere, and for no reason.​ ​We want to help prepare our students for this​. ​Krav Maga is the official fighting system of the Israeli military & special forces, and it's known for being the quickest way to end a fight. It emphasizes the assumption that one will be fighting at a​ ​disadvantage (stronger, more skilled attacker), dealing with multiple attackers, and fighting under extreme stress.

Parents should know, however, that though self defense training is ultimately a serious pursuit, your child will be learning in an EXTREMELY fun, supportive, encouraging environment. They will be making friends, getting fit, and having a blast!

What do you love most about your job? When a student goes from 'I could never...' to 'I CAN...and will..​!​'

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer? ​"I've been looking everywhere for a program that would really teach my children self defense - your program actually does it​!​"
