About Eitan Krav Maga — South London's FEKM Instructors

At Eitan Krav Maga we are a team of Krav Maga instructors and practitioners. With over 35 years of martial arts and Krav Maga experience each member of the team brings their own unique personality and energy to Krav Maga training sessions. What we all have in common is a love of Krav Maga training and sharing the immeasurable benefits that Krav Maga brings to our students. Awareness, confidence, fitness and the sense of peace and calm that comes with knowing that you have the skill to take care of yourself and others in any situation. We believe there is no better Krav Maga training in London. But don’t take our word for it; come and join us on our next 2-hour KickStart Course and find our for yourself.

join us and develop unrivalled self-defence

Krav Maga is a tough workout but each of our students works at their own pace so that training is suitably challenging for them and allows them to improve consistently over time. And did we mention it’s great fun! Our students and instructors train as a team and develop as a team. We are a part of a large FEKM Krav Maga community and social events are as important as training, as you will see on our social media profiles.

The Eitan Krav Maga team reflects our students with approximately 25% women and 75% men. We are of different ages from 18-70+ and from all over the world. Come and join us and develop unrivalled self-defence and contact combat skills within a safe, fun and supportive team.
