How long will it take me to get to a reasonable standard in krav maga?
Different students take different lengths of time to become competent. The first elements of self-defense/Krav Maga that we develop our the students combat skills, teaching them to move in such a way that they are always balanced and stable, always in a position to both attack with power and defend from every angle and able to effectively control range etc. Most people take a few months to get this under their belt. These skills are the core foundation of the system and once learnt make the techniques we teach easy to learn and perform. As soon as a student gets these skills they have upped the chance of surviving an attack considerably. Also by educating them about how violent situations develop/occur they end up standing a good chance of avoiding violence after only a few lessons. Our normal aim is to get an average student solid in dealing with 90% of the most common street attacks, within about 6 months.
