Perception Krav Maga (PKM) is a self-defence academy that mostly focuses on Krav Maga (Contact Combat), as we believe this is the most effective defensive tactics system available today. We are governed by an organisation called the International Krav Maga Federation (IKMF), and we have been trained and tested by members of the Global Instructor Team (GIT), including the Master Avi Moyal. We regularly attend updates and instructor training to ensure we are current and remain competent within the system.
Krav Maga is a continually evolving system; techniques are refined and updated as new threats present themselves or a better solution is found.
Everybody perceives threats in different ways, based on their instinct and experience. At PKM we encourage trainees to hone their instincts, and their natural reactions, to ensure they can walk in peace.
Krav Maga was originally designed as a military system and later developed for civilian use. John, the Chief Instructor at PKM, has served over 20 years in the British Army and is still active. A large part of his career has been spent in training establishments, instructing military skills and leadership to recruits, trained soldiers, NCO’s, and Officers. Krav Maga was a natural progression and really appealed as a defensive tactics system to John, after training in different martial arts and combat sports since childhood, and a lifetime around the military. John has been teaching Krav Maga for 5 years, and is also a BJJ practitioner, Personal Trainer, and Boot Camp Instructor.
Perception is the organisation, identification, and interpretation of sensory information. Our main effort is to educate trainees to avoid, or be capable of dealing with confrontation, and violence, when you perceive a threat to be present, and your survival signals kick in.
