Canada Water Krav Maga

Welcome to the YouTube channel for Canada Water Krav Maga, a self-defence school based in Canada Water, South-East London. We teach fighting for self defence based on 'Krav Maga', (Hebrew for 'contact combat') a system originating in Israel based on boxing and wrestling, but which has expanded to cover the full range of problems a civilian might face, including multiple attackers, weapons, snatch attacks and third-party protection. We emphasise aggressive delivery of high-percentage, gross-motor techniques that are most likely to work in highly stressful situations. These include many of the basic components common in combat sports, but also attacks which they would consider illegal, such as targeting the eyes, groin and brain stem. The instructor, Andrew Lau, began training with London Krav Maga--the UK's first Krav Maga school--in 2008. He boxing in 2012, and training Lee Morrison's 'Urban Combatives' system in 2013. He qualified as an instructor with Krav Maga Global in 2019.
