KRAV-MAGA Stability in Motion School

Advantages

The advantages of the KRAV-MAGA Stability in Motion school compared to other schools in Romania and the world:

01. Mission, objectives and human values

These elements define us both as individuals and as a school (Krav-Maga Stability in Motion). They reflect our attitude toward both ourselves and all of those around us. They are part of our being and we follow them in all our actions, whether they are or not seen and recognized by others. They define us as HUMANS and transcend any discrimination of gender, age, race, religion, nationality, social affiliation, group interests etc. Read more

02. Premium service quality

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 22 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.

Symbol

Currently, our school - Krav-Maga Stability in Motion - is the only one in the world that uses the triangle framed by a circle symbol and the stability in motion expression, as they were developed by Imi Lichtenfeld.

Understanding the two concepts (stability & motion) and the way of combining them is the key to Krav-Maga's efficiency.

Founder

The KRAV-MAGA Stability in Motion school was founded by László PETHŐ in December 12th, 2012. At that time, László had the black belt, 10 years of practice and 8 years of teaching Krav-Maga.

László has created a more flexible and effective training framework, while maintaining the principles and techniques developed by Imi Lichtenfeld.

Instructors

Our school provides quality training to all students. For this, we accept among us only highly trained instructors. The training and selection process of the instructors takes several years, during which time they get to master very well both Krav-Maga and the correct and safe teaching methodology.

Principles and Techniques

In Krav-Maga there are almost 500 simple and complex techniques, covering almost all the variables we might face in our lives: aggressions (one or more aggressors, with or without weapons, immobilizing or hurting us, etc.), situations (mild or severe threats, close range or in contact with the aggressor, standing or on the ground, responding with body or weapons, etc.) and approaches (from mild - prevention, to very tough - complete neutralization). We teach the techniques and principles created by the founder of Krav-Maga, Imi Lichtenfeld.

Equipment

Following the tradition established by Imi Lichtenfeld, most of the time we train in a gym, in white kimono and barefoot. We also hold courses in ordinary clothes and shoes, in various locations, in order to test the techniques in conditions closer to reality.

During trainings we use objects that help us practice the techniques at higher speeds and intensities, brings us closer to reality or protects us from injuries: mattresses, training pillows, knives, sticks, guns, helmets, gloves etc.

Belts and Instructors

In Krav-Maga we use (only in kimono) the following belts: yellow, orange, green, blue, brown and black. Coloured belts and exams are ways of highlighting the progress of the trainees. Instructor levels are designed to reflect the experience and effectiveness of instructors in the teaching process.
