Week 01: Foundations of Krav Maga and Warrior Mindset
The foundation for the whole 12-week curriculum is laid during this first week. The goals of the curriculum and the basic ideas that guide Krav Maga training will become clear to participants. We’ll talk about the fundamental principles of effectiveness, simplicity, and forthrightness while highlighting the system’s usefulness. The idea that confrontation should be avoided wherever possible is emphasized from the beginning, in keeping with the belief that self-defense should only be used as a last resort.
Click to Read Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph ArticlesCall 9886769281 for Corporate WorkshopsWe’ll introduce some of the fundamental ideas of Krav Maga. The most important rule is to eliminate the threat as quickly as feasible. The nature of the procedures taught is determined by this overriding objective. The concept of simultaneous defense and attack, in which each defensive move is accompanied by an instant aggressive reaction, will also be covered by the participants. Another basic idea that maximizes the efficiency of attacks is to target the attacker’s weak spots. Because Krav Maga places a strong emphasis on using instincts and natural movements, the techniques are simpler to learn and use under stress.
The introduction of the basic fighting posture and basic movement drills indicates the beginning of the hands-on component of instruction. The fighting stance, which offers a balanced and mobile platform for both offense and defense, and the neutral stance, which is a casual and modest posture, will be taught to participants. With a focus on balance and proper posture, basic footwork will be covered, including forward, backward, and lateral steps. A key component of evading an impending attack is “getting off the line” of attack, which will also be covered.
Just as crucial as physical methods is the ability to recognize possible danger. As a result, awareness and threat perception are introduced during the first week. Learners will discuss situational awareness as a primary layer of defense, learning to observe their surroundings and identify potential risks. Developing the ability to perceive possible dangers and dangerous situations before they escalate is a vital component. A key component of Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph’s philosophy, the training will also start the development of a “warrior mindset,” emphasizing mental toughness and proactive thinking. Franklin Joseph’s holistic approach, which views psychological preparedness as essential to successful self-defense, is reflected in the early emphasis on mindset and awareness.

Week 04: Krav Maga Movement and Stances
In week four, the emphasis switches to developing the fundamentals of movement and postures, which are essential for both offensive and defensive Krav Maga skills. The necessity of a balanced and dynamic posture that enables rapid reactions and effective power generation will be emphasized as participants review and refine their fighting stance. More complex footwork exercises will be added, such as stepping in sync with strikes to increase power and reach, shuffling to keep distance, and rapidly changing direction to avoid attacks or obtain a tactical edge. Because it greatly enhances overall stability, having a low center of gravity will be emphasized throughout these activities.
The idea of tactical mobility will be given, highlighting the significance of moving strategically as opposed to randomly. In order to avoid direct frontal assaults and to expose more vulnerable targets, participants will learn how to establish angles with respect to an attacker and move sideways. The skill of creating openings for counterattacks while lowering personal danger will be developed through drills that emphasize swiveling tilting, and a circular movement on the balls of the feet. Through a variety of drills, the week’s training will incorporate movement and postures.
We will practice shadow boxing with an emphasis on effortless movement and smooth transitions between stances. In order to defend and get ready for a counterattack, players in partner drills will need to modify their footwork and stance in response to simulated attacks. A key component of Krav Maga is the early emphasis on effective movement and the formation of advantageous angles, which is essential to the development of a dynamic and flexible self-defense skill set.

The concepts of body mechanics and leverage as they relate to striking will be explored by the participants. The lesson will cover how to use the complete body to increase the force of strikes, with a focus on the vital function that the hips and core muscles play in producing force. Examples will show how effective weight transfer and good body alignment may greatly boost the force of strikes.
The significance of comprehending vulnerable targets will be reviewed, with an emphasis on the justification for pursuing them. We’ll go into great depth on important weak spots like the eyes, throat, groin, and knees, describing why they are especially prone to harm and how hits to these spots can rapidly eliminate a threat. The ethical issues surrounding the use of force will also be covered, with a focus on the idea that one should only use as much force as is required to prevent an assault and protect oneself.
Getting “maximum damage with minimum time and effort” will be the main idea presented. The emphasis on straightforward and effective methods intended to swiftly eliminate a threat will be explained to participants, reflecting Krav Maga’s reality-based approach. The concept of taking advantage of an attacker’s tactical and physical vulnerabilities will be presented as a crucial component of successful self-defense.

Week 06: Intermediate Combatives – Combination Drills
In Week 6, elbow and knee strikes are introduced as intermediate combative techniques, building on the basis of punches and kicks. The correct technique and form of fundamental elbow blows will be taught to the participants. Technique, targeting (the head and ribs are the main targets), and producing force through body rotation will all be stressed in the instruction of the horizontal elbow strike, a potent close-range weapon. We’ll also go over the vertical elbow strike, which includes both upward and downward modifications, emphasizing several targeting options based on the circumstance. We’ll emphasize how elbow strikes are naturally effective in close combat.
Basic knee strikes will also be covered in the course of study. With focus on correct form and force generation, participants will master the straight knee strike, a flexible technique that works well for hitting the stomach and groin. We’ll also introduce the rising knee strike, which is utilized to target higher locations like the chest and face. To avoid becoming exposed during the attack, it will be crucial to maintain balance when delivering knee strikes.
Drills that incorporate punches, kicks, elbows, and knees will be implemented in order to incorporate these new methods. Simple striking combos that transition smoothly between these various martial styles will be practiced by the participants. The goal will be to maximize the possibility of quickly neutralizing a danger by honing the ability to move fluidly and effectively between strikes. Students have more alternatives for effective self-defense in a variety of close-range situations when the combative repertory is expanded to include elbows and knees.
Week 07: Strength Conditioning for Combat
In week seven, the emphasis switches to the physical preparation required for efficient self-defense, including Krav Maga-related strength conditioning activities. Basic bodyweight exercises will be taught to participants, along with how to use them for battle. Push-ups will be taught, with variants that focus on different muscle groups and highlight how they help build shoulder and arm striking power. With an emphasis on correct form, squats will be emphasized for their value in developing leg power and general stability, which are essential for striking and preserving equilibrium. Variations of squats will be introduced to enhance hip flexibility, leg strength, and balance. As a basic technique for building core strength and stability—both necessary for producing power and absorbing impact—the plank exercise will be taught.
Building core strength and stability will take up a large amount of the practice. We’ll go over how the core muscles help with power production for strikes and balance both during movement and when struck. To build this vital region of strength, participants will be introduced to fundamental core exercises like leg lifts, crunches, and Russian twists.
We will provide a clear explanation of the relationship between combat effectiveness and strength training. Participants will see how their ability to swiftly neutralize an opponent can be enhanced by using stronger muscles to produce more force behind their attacks. We’ll also talk about the significance of general physical conditioning in enhancing the body’s resistance to physical force and lowering the chance of getting hurt during a conflict. Strength training at this point in the program gives participants the physical basis they need to perform the skills they have learned and build resilience in general.

Week 08: Cardio Combat Fitness
The vital component of cardiovascular fitness to self-defense training is introduced in week eight. In order to replicate the demands of a real-world conflict, participants will participate in drills that blend aerobic fitness with fundamental combatives. One important element will be shadow boxing, which involves constant movement and incorporates bursts of high-intensity strikes. Striking power and aerobic endurance can be developed via bag work intervals, which alternate between periods of vigorous heavy bag striking and active recovery. Cardio combat fitness can be further improved with partner drills that involve quick, high-intensity strike exchanges followed by dynamic movement.
We’ll stress how crucial it is to develop endurance for prolonged participation. The importance of cardiovascular fitness for sustaining efficacy during a potentially protracted physical altercation will be explained to the participants. As an effective strategy for increasing cardiovascular capacity, the concepts of interval training—which alternate between high-intensity exercise and recovery periods—will be presented.
We’ll go over the particular advantages of cardiovascular fitness in self-defense situations. Participants will comprehend how having more stamina enables them to move swiftly, avoid attacks, and continue to strike successfully even when they are exhausted. Faster recovery between intensive activity bursts is another benefit of improved cardiovascular fitness, which is important in a dynamic self-defense scenario. We’ll also talk about the psychological advantages of better cardiovascular health, such less stress and more concentration. By include cardiovascular combat fitness in the training program, participants are guaranteed to build the physical stamina required to use their Krav Maga techniques successfully under pressure.
