Krav Maga Classes in Fort Lauderdale
At Twiggs Martial Arts, our Krav Maga program is designed for teens and adults who want practical self-defense skills they can actually use in the real world. Originally, developed by the Israeli Defense Forces, Krav Maga is one of the most effective self-defense systems ever created — and we’ve made it accessible, welcoming, and genuinely fun for everyday people right here in Fort Lauderdale.
Whether you’re a complete beginner who has never stepped foot in a dojo, or an experienced martial artist looking to add real-world application to your training, our Krav Maga classes will challenge you, empower you, and leave you feeling more confident every single time you walk out the door.
What Makes Krav Maga Different
Unlike traditional martial arts that focus on sport and competition, Krav Maga was built for one purpose — to keep you safe. It draws from boxing, wrestling, judo, and street-defense techniques to create a system that is practical, efficient, and extremley effective. At Twiggs, we teach you how to handle real-world situations with confidence while building the fitness, focus, and mental toughness that comes with serious training.
Our instructors bring the same energy, patience, and encouragement to Krav Maga that Fort Lauderdale families have trusted across all of our programs. You’ll be challenged, but you’ll never feel out of place — this is a community that lifts everyone up.
What clients say
What You'll Learn
- Situational Awareness: The best self-defense starts before anything physical happens. You’ll learn to read your environment, identify potential threats early, and make smart decisions that keep you out of danger in the first place.
- Strikes & Combinations: Master effective punches, elbows, knees, and kicks drawn from boxing and Muay Thai. Our combinations are designed to be simple, powerful, and easy to recall under pressure when it counts most.
- Defenses Against Common Attacks: Learn to defend against grabs, chokes, headlocks, bear hugs, and ground attacks. Every technique is tested against realistic scenarios so you know it actually works — not just in the gym but in the real world.
- Weapon Awareness & Defense: Our curriculum includes awareness and defense strategies for situations involving knives, sticks, and other threats. These are taught progressively and responsibly so every student builds confidence at there own pace.
- Ground Defense & Escapes: Many real-world altercations end up on the ground. You’ll learn how to protect yourself, escape dangerous positions, and get back on your feet quickly and safely.
- Fitness & Mental Toughness: Krav Maga training is a serious full-body workout. You’ll build strength, cardio endurance, and the kind of calm, focused mindset that makes you effective under pressure — and just feels great in everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Krav Maga is a practical self-defense system originally developed for the Israeli Defense Forces. Unlike traditional martial arts, it has no sport or competition element — it focuses entirely on real-world effectiveness. It draws techniques from boxing, wrestling, judo, and street defense to create one of the most complete and practical self-defense systems available today.
None at all! Our Krav Maga classes are designed to welcome complete beginners alongside more experienced students. Our instructors meet every student at their current level and progress them at a pace that feels both challenging and manageable from day one.
Absolutely. While Krav Maga is an intense and effective self-defense system, our classes are taught in a controlled, supervised environment with a strong emphasis on safety and mutual respect. All techniques are practiced progressively so students build confidence and skill without unnecessary risk of injury.
Our karate, taekwondo, and kickboxing programs develop traditional martial arts skills, fitness, and character over time.
