Northwood
What it’s like
Krav Maga and self defence classes in Northwood for adults, teens and children, with a bookable trial class if you want to try one first.
Krav Maga and self defence classes, with separate sessions for children and for adults and teens. The site describes Krav Maga as quick to pick up, with results showing in a few months rather than years of training, which is a nice thing to hear if you've never done any martial arts before.
There are private 1-2-1 classes if you'd rather not start in a group, small group sessions, and school seminars. A trial class is bookable, which is the sensible first move before committing to anything regular. You can get in touch through the academy's own site or give them a ring on 07590 650338 if you'd rather ask questions first.
There's no joining fee, and the training is pay-as-you-go style rather than a big upfront membership, which keeps the risk low while you work out whether it suits you. They run from Northwood, so if you're nearby in the HA6 area it's a short trip rather than a trek.
Adults and teens train together in the main sessions, and children have their own classes, so you're not putting a nine-year-old in with a room of grown men. If you want to know which class fits your child's age, ring them before booking the trial.

Plan your visit
How do I book a trial class?
Through the academy's own website, or by calling 07590 650338. A trial is the easiest way to see whether it suits you or your child before signing up to anything.
How much do classes cost?
There's no joining fee, and you pay for the training you do rather than buying a membership upfront. Ring them for the current class rates.
How long does it take to learn Krav Maga?
The site says Krav Maga is easy to learn and you should see good results within a few months. It doesn't need years of training to be useful.
Can my child train, or is it adults only?
Children have their own self defence classes, and adults and teens train in the main sessions. Ring ahead if you want to check which class suits your child.
Do I need previous martial arts experience?
No. The site says no previous martial arts or self defence knowledge is needed, including if you later want to train towards becoming an instructor.
