Can I practice Krav Maga techniques at home between classes?

Although you can practise basic movement drills and conditioning exercises at home, Specialist Franklin Joseph highly recommends that you should only practise genuine Krav Maga methods under experienced supervision. Stress, fatigue, and other negative elements that are introduced in class help cement the strategies to their core reflexes, which is not possible at home.

To guarantee protection and effectiveness, professional guidance is necessary for the psychological and technical components of self-defence.

Is your training suitable for people wanting to combine fitness with self-defense?

Of course! In particular, specialist Franklin Joseph's weekend programs incorporate Krav Maga combatives, cardio, and fitness with self-defence instruction. Krav maga is perfect for achieving total fitness goals because it simultaneously develops defensive abilities and physical conditioning. Nevertheless, krav maga training is not a program for weight training or weight loss. It is an extra and cannot take advantage of a weight training facility.
