Krav Maga is a very practical self-defence system that uses the natural reactions of the human body to provide defensive techniques against various unarmed and armed attacks and situations. It includes principles of fitness, self-confidence, awareness, conflict avoidance and escape.

Krav Maga classes will start Monday, Jan. 13 and run even Monday and Wednesday, from 5 to 6:30pm and every Tuesday and Thursday, from noon to 1pm.

The ancient art and sport of Muay Thai was originally developed by the people of Thailand as a combat tool and is currently an integral part of Thai culture and history. It is now a competitive ring sport that hosts the best conditioned athletes in non-stop explosive action.
