The class begins with the trainees doing a warm up which being held in a private full-time gym means they have access to fun and exciting equipment. After the warm up they are partnered up where they work on developing their striking techniques to develop focus, control and power. Then they look at a scenario and how to deal with it.
This could be anything from a clothing grab to dealing with multiple opponents. The training is all age specific and designed to make your child a hard target for bullies whilst at the same time giving them a physical outlet. Most of all it is about them having a fun training session while learning some life skills.
What is Krav Maga?
Krav Maga is from Israel and is an amalgamation of all the best martial arts. It takes the punching from western boxing, the kicks from Thai boxing for example and makes the participants confident in the physical techniques in a short time. It does not take a long time to learn thus giving the trainees confidence quickly. It removes all the fluff from traditional arts and is a modern progressive system which children and teenagers respond better to.
The trainees wear regular gym style clothing and trainers at sessions, so nobody feels self-conscious about wearing a traditional martial arts style uniform. It is extremely effective in keeping trainees safe and parents love to think that their children have the ability to keep themselves safe when they are out and about.
Are the classes mixed?
Yes, there is an excellent gender balance in the classes and everyone is welcome to train. CRGYM is definitely one of the most inclusive training spaces in Edinburgh.
