I go to the lessons twice a week it is very good and I recommend it to anyone interested in self defence. As a young teenager it is good for fitness and building my confidence. Ian is a good instructor and is friendly and runs sessions in a relaxed atmosphere

I have been attending for the past month with my 2 daughters of school age.The classes are brilliant for both adults and children to learn skills which can help in day to day life. It is a non judgemental environment and everyone is very friendly and everyone helps each other with the styles which are being practiced

A great place with really friendly and welcoming instructors/students. I have never tried any martial arts before and here you fit in straight away! Either call up before or like me you can just rock up to the start of a class and Ian will get you set up straight away.

I've been going about twice a week for over 8 months (I think). It's always impressed me how the instructors explain, display and train the techniques, I've done martial arts previously years back when I was a little kid and I always found they were too easy on me because I was young but as a teen now, they've really made me put in effort mentally and physically.
I truly respect the head instructor and he's never had a bad day in the entire time I've attended. I thank them for the time and effort dedicated to me and the others that attend, a real group of professionals.

A great place to learn Krav Maga, warm and very welcoming club to new beginners. Fantastic instruction covering both effective self-defence techniques and in developing your fitness. For anyone wanting to take up Krav Maga, without hesitation I would highly recommend Street Safe Krav Maga.
