Our youth curriculum (ages 8-13) offers training in Krav Maga and Muay Thai Kickboxing. At The Official Krav Maga Training Center of Connecticut, our goal is to teach students fighting skills so that they may be physically and mentally capable of defending themselves in any given dangerous scenario.

BASIC TRAINING is an introductory program that teaches the basics of Krav Maga. A brief overview of our basic training curriculum follows:

• Stances
• Movements
• 360-defense blocks
• Elbows
• Knees
• Hand techniques (palm strikes, hammer fists, punches)
• Kicks (groin, front, side, round, and back).

The basics of self-defense are also covered. Examples of various scenarios follow:

• How to escape from and defend against someone grabbing your wrist.
• How to escape from and defend against front, side, and back chokes.
• How to defend against someone grabbing you in a bear hug.
• How to defend yourself after falling to the ground using strikes and kicks and how to get back to your feet.

Advanced Level: is an advanced level program that expands on the basics of Krav Maga. Below is a short list of advanced tactics:

• Weapons defense, including knife, gun, and stick/pipe
• Multiple attacker scenarios
• Abduction scenarios
• Advanced stand-up and ground fighting techniques.

Drills not only teach the physical movements but also prepare you to manage the mental stress experienced during an altercation. Upon the instructor’s evaluation, students may upgrade from the Basic Training Course.
