by Robert BennettNew Kids Class – Irvine
SKSM are pleased to announce a new Kids Class which has started on a Wednesday 7.30pm to 8.30pm in Irvine. Places are limited to 20 kids so we recommend that you contact us as soon as possible.
Children’s Krav Maga mostly referred to as ‘Kid Krav’ it is developed by IKMF as part of Krav Maga self-defense solutions created for the various civilian sectors. Kid self defense enables children, in a relative short period, to learn self-defense techniques carefully adapted to match their respective age, physical and mental abilities.
Through Krav Maga training, the children are taught how to recognize common threats like bullies and kidnappers. The training also aims to improve their self-esteem, build confidence respect and discipline. IKMF Kid Krav Maga methods, especially in the younger age group are mostly taught through Krav maga games.
Games help the children develop coordination; learn how to follow directions and foster assertiveness. Through these games kids are taught how to avoid confrontation, and how to defend themselves when necessary in order to escape. Kid Krav Maga openly and cautiously explains attack scenarios kids may encounter the difference between being bullied by a classmate or by an unknown adult, their options in each situation, what is the proportional response and so on.
