ABOUT SPARTANS ACADEMY
Spartans Academy of Krav Maga is the leading self defence school in Yorkshire and the North East of England with a wider reach across the UK, Europe and the world.
Our internationally recognised and award-winning Krav Maga training is authentic from its source in Israel. Reality-based and battle-tested by security special forces, we constantly adapt and update it to real-life civilian use in regular classes or commissioned programmes for the private, public or charitable sector.
ABOUT YOUR TRAINING
Our weekly classes and events cover the spectrum of skills needed for real-life self defence today.
From situational awareness, body language skills, human behaviour and criminal psychology to help prevent becoming a victim, through conflict management and deescalation skills to reduce incidence of violence.
You will learn highly effective combat and protection skills to handle any kind of physical aggression or threats, as well as the legal and medical knowledge to keep you safe during and after any violence.
With no previous experience or minimum fitness level required, our gender-mixed classes provide a unique opportunity for people of any age, any gender and any background to learn the tactics, techniques and thinking of the most effective self defence system in the world.

WHY SHOULD YOU TRY KRAV MAGA?
Krav Maga isn’t a sport. It’s not a martial art. It is about building your physical and mental strength to survive and navigate life and what it throws at you. Krav Maga is your opportunity to strengthen your confidence, fitness and a particular set of skills few people have.
Because, if that moment calls, when you need to stay strong and ready, you alone must be your own hero.
OUR KRAV MAGA HISTORY
Established in 2008, Spartans Academy of Krav Maga is a leading Krav Maga self defence training provider in England.
We also operate across the UK, Europe and the world as a founder and prominent members of international federations, networks and partnerships.
Our award-winning Krav Maga training is authentic from its source in Israel.
Designed and developed by the world’s principal military special forces, we evolve it to the local community for our students and clients from the private, public and charitable sectors. Our Krav Maga is applied in classes or courses to mixed adult, gender-specialised or children’s self defence training. Whatever the requirements, we tailor this to the individual.
Because self defence is a encompassing subject, our Krav Maga is more than just close quarter combat techniques, tactics and thinking.
We also teach you how to become more situationally aware and how to apply body language and behaviours to minimalize the chances of violence breaking out. You will learn conflict management solutions and legal awareness to protect yourself and others. Our teaching also covers criminal psychology, criminology, biomechanics, anatomy and physiology, as well as health, well-being and medical trauma management.
All of these skills are part of a rounded self defence proficiency. Learning self defence with us can grow your mental strength, confidence and sensory abilities just as much as your fighting and fitness abilities. We teach you to fight smart.
Our professional and passionate instructors have many years teaching experience, including several at Master and Expert ratings, the most prominent levels in Krav Maga. They are themselves educated and accredited by international Krav Maga organisations, including by world-leading law enforcement, counter-terror and head of state close protection professionals, holding some of the highest internationally certified accreditations in the UK.
Our team can also licence and certify other instructors, domestically and abroad.
When you train with Spartans Academy of Krav Maga, you can have the confidence that you are training in the most effective self defence system in the world, thoughtfully adapted to domestic law and local community needs, by highly qualified, internationally-recognised and award-winning instructors.
