We deliver high quality courses to a small number of people. We interact more closely with each student and offer a more effective learning process. We only accept motivated people willing to invest time and effort in their evolution. Our main goal is mental, emotional and physical development that brings life-long benefits.

03. Authentic Krav-Maga

Krav-Maga was created by Imi Lichtenfeld as a martial art. It is the crowning achievement of his life experiences as a sportsman, soldier and instructor in the army. The efficient techniques blend with general principles into a complete survival and conduct system, a lifestyle. We are teaching Krav-Maga exactly in the form created by Imi Lichtenfeld, promoting self-knowledge, self-control and beautiful moral principles.

04. The most experienced instructor

László Pethő is the first Krav-Maga instructor in Romania (since 2004), holds the first black belt given to an instructor from Romania (in 2012) and has over 23 years OF experience practicing and teaching Krav-Maga. He HAS also practiced Shotokan, Kyokushin, Wushu, Aikido, Judo and Systema. He is a Trainer and Counselor for Personal Development, Bowen and Reiki therapist.

05. The most complex training

Since 2003 (when the first Krav-Maga course in Romania was taught in Cluj-Napoca) I have taught hundreds of intensive and private weekly classes. I have trained over one thousand students aged 5-55 years of both sexes. I taught both Krav-Maga as a martial art (in kimono, with colored belts) as well as survival courses with specific themes (in street clothing).

06. Prevention and legal issues

You must avoid physical conflict as much as possible. We teach you how to evaluate different situations and avoid the dangerous ones. How to handle threats to avoid physical aggression / so they don’t escalate and lead to physical aggression. And for the cases in which you have no choice, we show you how you can defend yourself within legal boundaries without the risk of going to court later.

07. Shaping personality

The changes triggered during the Krav-Maga courses are immediately reflected in all aspects of your life. By learning to defend yourself from physical aggression, your mind starts applying the same principles to other aggressions in your life. Even if you do not realize it, you are aggressed informationally and emotionally every day. You will quickly notice that you become more self-confident and the people around you will respect you more.

08. Certification as a Krav-Maga instructor

To become an instructor you need a lot of preparation. We offer Krav-Maga instructor training courses where you learn the teaching methodology and gain teaching experience. We offer you with knowledge and practical skills that you can implement immediately after the course. Afterwards we guide your steps to develop harmoniously with your students in our school. It's a continuous process of development, through which you get yourself better and also better at teaching.

What is Krav-Maga?

Krav-Maga is the martial art of survival developed in Israel in 1971 by Imi Lichtenfeld, based on the techniques and principles he originally taught in the Israeli army.

Krav-Maga promotes the avoidance of aggression, but gives you the tools to survive situations where you cannot avoid physical aggression. It was developed to help ordinary people survive conflicts with one or more aggressors - bigger, stronger and faster.

History of Krav-Maga

Efficiency and Safety

You are emotionally assaulted on a daily basis, and the possibility of being physically assaulted exists even if you ignore it. Choose to learn the ways of survival in every area of your life. This is the only way to ensure the safety of yourself and your loved ones.

Krav-Maga allows you to neutralize threats with short, quick and effective moves aimed at sensitive areas of the aggressor. It teaches you to avoid conflicts, but if you have no choice you will be able to fight effectively to survive the violence.

Principles and Techniques

Self Confidence

You can learn Krav-Maga regardless of your gender, age or physical condition. You develop both physically and emotionally: you become more confident in your own strength, get rid of fears and traumas, create and maintain a great physical condition, reduce your daily stress, etc.

In a short time you will successfully cope with aggression in all areas of your life: verbal threats, harassment, humiliation, coercion, physical attacks, etc. You learn to remain calm and react only as much as necessary to get through critical situations optimally.

You are not obligated to feel like victims

Due to a busy schedule and studies, this year I interrupted my Krav-Maga training. I miss it enormously and it's the first type of practice I want to resume when I finish my psychology master's degree. Until then, I enjoy watching recordings from other people's training sessions. I recommend everyone a similar experience to feel for themselves that you are not obligated to feel like a victim in fr... Continue...

It was something pleasant... educational

It was OK for me — despite the cold weather I didn't feel the chill until near the end of the course... I like this type of martial art and for me it was an enjoyable, educational experience, and I hope it will be useful if needed. If I can manage it I'll sign up for other intensive courses. I'm looking forward to the knife defense course resuming... I'm glad I could participate.

The mindset instilled helps me in everyday life

Personally I feel that I no longer remember many of the techniques I learned, but even so the mindset instilled in me still helps me in everyday life (which may in fact be even more valuable than the techniques themselves) — so the courses were definitely not in vain; on the contrary — and for that I thank you :)

I have an immense power that exceeds physical strength

I liked the atmosphere, the dynamism, the structure, and the fact that you had such a respectful attitude toward Krav-Maga. I realized I have an immense power that exceeds physical strength. I've become more prompt: in certain situations I react very quickly (for example when working with children). My fear related to my physical limitations has evaporated. I can no longer come to classes because ... Continue...

This develops me and pushes my limits

Hi Lazlo. As you can probably easily tell (given that I've attended your summer courses), I'm extremely happy to be able to attend your courses. In all honesty I have no comment whatsoever on your teaching methodology — I think it's very good and currently see nothing that needs changing. From my perspective the training [first module of the Annual Krav-Maga Course for... Continue...

Best simulation of real-life situations

I'm also glad I participated and I look forward to the next courses. I really liked the dynamic part, where we stood in a circle and repeatedly practiced the strikes we had trained. It best simulates real situations, and I noticed that even though we managed fine during exercises, under stress we no longer reacted as well.

The advice has applicability in everyday life
The courses combine static repetition of techniques with dynamic exercises, often in group, but emphasis is also placed on exploration — which I have often found more easily highlights certain limitations of mine or aspects I don't yet master well. There is great insistence on the correct practice of techniques. The day I gained most from a training session was when I practiced in pairs with... Continue...

I can say I left a different person
Hi László, The last course [Simulated Combat — learning through play] was a completely novel experience for me. I can say I left a different person. I had many insights that are hard to come by in the comfort and safety of everyday life. I liked that you placed emphasis on building a foundation — through explaining the psychological principles and the basic techniques... Continue...
