About Our Classes

Our adult Krav Maga classes are designed for everyday people who want to feel safer, stronger, and more confident

Most of our members join us because they want to:

✅ Feel safer walking alone or at night

✅ Stop feeling anxious in unfamiliar or crowded situations

✅ Build confidence and mental resilience

✅ Get fitter with a purpose, not just “exercise”

✅ Know they can protect themselves and their loved ones if it ever mattered

That’s exactly what our classes deliver.

What You Gain From Training With Us

This isn’t about learning hundreds of techniques. It’s about becoming calmer, more aware, and harder to target.

Through consistent training, our adult members develop:

✅ Confidence under pressure - knowing what to do instead of freezing

✅ Situational awareness - avoiding danger before it starts

✅ Mental resilience - staying calm when things go wrong

✅ Practical self-defence skills that work under stress

✅ Improved fitness with real-world application

The biggest change most members notice?

They carry themselves differently and people treat them differently.

Designed for Real Life. Not Fantasy.

Many adults hesitate because they think:

✅ “I’m too old to start”

✅ “I’m not fit enough”

✅ “I don’t want to get hurt”

✅ “I don’t want to fight people”

You’re exactly who our classes are for.

Our training is:

✅ Inclusive and beginner-friendly

✅ Scalable for all fitness levels

✅ Focused on safety and control

✅ Built around realistic scenarios, not sport rules

✅ You train to avoid conflict first, de-escalate when possible, and protect yourself only if there’s no other option.

How Our Adult Classes Work

Each class blends:

✅ Practical self-defence skills

✅ Stress-management and decision-making

✅ Functional fitness and conditioning

✅ Controlled partner drills

You’ll be challenged, but never overwhelmed.

Progress is steady, structured, and supported by experienced instructors who understand that adults learn differently to children or athletes.

Head Instructor Mark

Mark is our club founder and Chief Instructor and a former Warrant Officer in the Royal Marines and Close Protection Operative, he enjoyed a distinguished military career spanning twenty-five years. In 2005 Mark discovered Krav Maga and was instantly hooked by its simplicity and physical demands and trained extensively to become a high-level instructor.

Mark opened his first Krav Maga club in 2010 and passionately believes that good fitness and self-defence training should be evidence- based, demanding, enjoyable and accessible to everyone.

Natali

Natali’s journey with Krav Maga Somerset started in 2010 when the club first began, and has been present at the launch of every new club. Natali soon learnt that the principles taught in Krav Maga are founded on technique over strength and found this hugely empowering. Natali qualified as an instructor in 2024, supporting our members in Bridgwater, Taunton and Wells. Over the past 14 years, Natali has reached a high level of fitness and learnt skills which can be achieved by anyone regardless of size or gender or age and it is her passion to share this knowledge with others.

Garth

Garth started his Krav Maga journey in 2021 and qualified as an instructor with the club in 2024, supporting our members in Bridgwater, Taunton and Wells. After having spent time as a Door Safe and SIA trained security officer, a doorman and also a private bodyguard, Garth felt Krav Maga was perfect for him, preferring the freedom of real world and real life situations Krav Maga provides as opposed to traditional martial arts. Garth has always been interested in human combat, the techniques and the mindset, whether it be competing or generally surviving and feeling a little safer.

Liza

Liza is a qualified personal trainer and Krav Maga instructor, supporting the club predominantly in our Wells and Bridgwater classes. Liza’s fitness journey started at a very young age with Judo, swimming and marathon canoeing, holding records in several athletic events at national and international standard.

After a friend lost her life through domestic violence, Liza made a vow to work on her fitness, learn Krav Maga and eventually qualify as an instructor, as she wanted to teach both men and women the art of self-defence.
