Worried about violent crime? Our Krav Maga programme focuses on real-world skills and situational awareness. It’s not just kicks and punches, and it doesn’t take years to learn. Focused training helps you gain usable defence techniques, fitness and confidence so you can feel street-safe in as little as 90 days.


Real-World Self-Defence for Real People
Welcome to Krav Maga Somerset the home of practical self-defence classes in Bridgwater and resilience training for adults who are serious about protecting themselves, their loved ones, and their peace of mind.

You don’t need to be super fit, experienced, or fearless to start. You just need to take the first step.
