About Us ─

Perception Krav Maga (PKM) is a self-defence academy that mostly focuses on Krav Maga (Contact Combat), as we believe this is the most effective defensive tactics system available today. We are governed by an organisation called the International Krav Maga Federation (IKMF), and we have been trained and tested by members of the Global Instructor Team (GIT), including the Master Avi Moyal. We regularly attend updates and instructor training to ensure we are current and remain competent within the system.

Krav Maga is a continually evolving system and techniques are refined and updated as new threats present themselves or a better solution is found.

PKM is a great club with a really friendly atmosphere and a great place to learn key self defence skills. I've been coming here for a while now and always enjoy the variety of sessions and the skills that I learn.

I’d been thinking about joining a Krav Maga class for some time, and really pleased I came across Perception Krav Maga. Perception Krav Maga & Self Defence Pirbright is a great class that’s suitable for all fitness levels and abilities. Everyone is friendly, helpful and welcoming and the instructor (John) is great and has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to self-defence & fitness. If this is something you’re thinking about, I’d say go for it. Get in touch with Perception Krav Maga today, don't leave it years like I did. Kida

I’ve been training with this club for a year. It’s a very friendly and welcoming club, where the instructor (John) and members are supportive and encouraging of each other’s practice. It wasn’t easy to join the club due to a complex PTSD diagnosis two years prior to joining. The safe and welcoming environment put me at ease and learning Krav Maga in such an environment has helped put me at ease in the world once again. Although the training is taken seriously, we manage to enjoy it and have some fun. I enjoy John’s instruction and training, It’s methodical and on point. He has a wealth of experience as a Krav Maga instructor, complimented with over twenty years in the army, many of which involve training soldiers. John’s skills transfer very well into civilian training. After martial arts, I chose Krav Maga due to the very practical and effective techniques. Although martial arts and combat sports are good to learn, I don’t find they provide such a comprehensive system for self-defence compared to Krav Maga. I find Krav Maga more primal and congruent with our natural bodies. I found martial arts a bit like going to medical school to learn basic first aid. Learning Krav Maga is a bit like learning first aid; I do it just in case. I’ve done a lot of first aid training but never had to use it in an emergency. However, before learning Krav Maga, I’ve had a couple of experiences where I’ve needed to defend myself, while travelling abroad alone. You hope you never have to use it, but we don’t live in a world where you may not find it useful one day. If you’ve had the patience to read this long review, you are more than curious, so just turn up to a class and see how it goes.

John is an excellent, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable instructor. The people and atmosphere is fabulous. Very supportive of each other and open to newcomers. I enjoy every session and can only recommend it to anybody looking to join a self-defence/martial arts class.

If you're in search of a remarkable self-defense experience, I can't recommend this club enough. It's not just a club; it's an opportunity to learn from the best. John, the instructor, possesses a wealth of knowledge, honed skills, and extensive experience in Krav Maga that truly sets this club apart. What's impressive is his dedication to the craft over the years, making him a seasoned and top-level instructor. Without a doubt, enrolling in this club under John's guidance is an exceptional decision for anyone interested in self-defense training.
