WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO?
BE THE LAST ONE STANDING WHEN A TERMINAL SITUATION STRIKES!
Krav Maga is the official self-defense and fighting system used by the IDF (Israeli Defense Force!) Krav Maga is the quickest way to learn reality based street defense. It has no rituals, formalities, katas, etc. Krav Maga is a no-frills self-defense system created to be effective within a short period of training. Based on instinctual movements and simplicity, it is the perfect system for anyone wanting to learn a simple, effective, and devastating method of saving yourself or loved ones when reality strikes!
Krav Maga is a noncompetitive, non traditional martial art and reality based military self defense system, known for its focus on real-world situations. It was developed in Israel and involves striking techniques, grappling, gun, rifle, blunt and edge weapon defense. At Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense you will also learn Israeli Counter Terrorism, Anti-Car Jacking, Anti-Hostage, Police Defensive Tactics and Active Shooter Defense. We also have classes in basic pistol, Florida Concealed Weapon Permit, Israeli Combat gun and rifle tactical shooting.
Krav Maga is the most effective and fastest growing self defense system available today. It is combat proven, battle tested and continually enhanced, no nonsense self defense! By statistics the average martial artist will loss a street confrontation. In today’s society the martial arts have evolved to a sport or a kid’s activity. Sport martial artist are at a disadvantage when encountering an attack by a street thug. Tournaments are a sporting event in a controlled environment with rules for safety. MMA or UFC is the closest thing to a street fight yet it is a sporting event and has rules to keep the fighters safe.
A street encounter is unscheduled, unpredictable and without any rules. The only trophy that you’ll will in a street encounter is your life! There are no forms like in karate, kung fu and tae kwon do, rules, or set combinations as reactions to attacks. Instead, Krav Maga training focuses on teaching simple self protection techniques which are specifically catered to reality based attack situations. Krav Maga has no rituals, no belts, no rules and no bull. Classes are fun, exciting and effective.
Don’t be a statistic, defy the odds. Be on top of the food chain, so that you can be the last one standing when reality strikes! When you want to be able to defend yourself and your loved ones, you don’t want it to take years to learn. Traditional martial arts take years to perfect, introducing material in stages that delay becoming at all effective in defending yourself. Reality based self-defense systems typically teach material that is either too little to be effective, or requires too much skill and time to become proficient. Krav Maga practitioners are taught to finish a fight as quickly as possible and therefore all attacks are aimed towards the most vulnerable parts of the body such as neck, groin, knees, eyes, and joints.
Numerous celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Hillary Swank, Angelina Jolie, Shannon Elisebeth, Tom Cruise, Jason Statham, Keanu Reeves, Daniel Craig, Brendan Fraser, John Mayer, Matt Damon, Christian Bale, and others have discovered the self defense and fitness benefits and are training in Krav Maga. Celebrities know that Krav Maga is easy to learn system for fitness and self defense.
Israel formed one of the most respected military forces in the world in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Krav Maga (Contact Combat) is the official self defense system of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces.) Faced with warfare and terrorism, the Israeli military developed Krav Maga combat systems that were practical in the battlefield. Krav Maga was developed by Imi Lichtenfeld in a hostile environment in which combatants could not devote many hours to hand-to-hand combat training. Krav Maga was created to bring students to a high level of proficiency in a relatively short period of time. For more Krav Maga history go to the Krav Maga history page on this website.
