Krav Maga, which means Hand to Hand Combat in Hebrew, is a system first developed by Imi Lichtenfeld (Immi Sde-Or) and later adopted by the Israeli Defense Forces. Imi became the IDF's Fighting Fitness Academy Krav Maga Chief Instructor . Second, was Eli Avikzar, and third was Boaz Aviram. Boaz Aviram awarded Glyn Ashton the title of 'Master Instructor of Krav Maga', Glyn was the first and only one at present to receive this title in Europe. Glyn only teaches Pure Krav Maga, the original form of Krav Maga.

The system was designed to create a close quarter fighter within a short period of time which will prevail, hand to hand, against an enemy with years of martial art or street fighting experience.

Krav Maga is built on the principles of human physiology, psychology and reaction time. Rather than repeatedly drilling in rigid engagement techniques, Krav Maga students learn to analyze a hostile environment, stop the opponents capabilities according to his posture, selecting the appropriate action, within split second before the engagement.

What is different about PKM is that:

• Master Glyn teaches only the original and true form of KRAV MAGA as developed by IMI LICHTENFELD and taught at the WINGATE INSTITUTE Netanya, Israel.
• We use only IDF proven techniques
• No Sports or Competitions unlike other Martial Arts
• No Holds Barred (NHB) Self Defence training
