Is there ground fighting in Krav Maga?

Is there ground fighting in Krav Maga?

You’ll learn how to defend yourself from the ground, neutralize threats quickly, and get back to your feet safely—whether it’s escaping a hold, countering an attacker, or dealing with common ground-based situations.

The welcoming, humble, "your home", no matter your background, experience level or absolute lack thereof, atmosphere is what got me. I've always been pretty intimidated by gyms & preferred to just do my own thing privately. I took Mallorys women's self defense series & my mind was blown. Then I took Pawels crisis mitigation class. PHENOMENAL!! They have NEVER been pushy about signing up. Always welcoming & encouraging. Their humility is another thing that just blew my mind. They would have every "right" to be proud of themselves & even flaunt it considering all of their accomplishments & capabilities but they DON'T. They want to be a help you & better you. They always available help & answer questions. It's home. My only regret is not joining sooner.

I can't say enough great things about Krav Maga Detroit. I retired from the Fire Service after 27 years and it wasn't long after that I felt like something was missing. I needed something to replace the hard work, physical and mental fitness and some of the bonding and brotherhood. I found it all at Krav Maga Detroit. The classes are a great physical workout while teaching and training new skills that could same day save your life, or someone else's. The people of Krav Maga Detroit are like non other as well, everyone involved from the Owners to the instructors, to the fellow students, are all genuinely great people. More than hard work comes out of KMD, strong bonds and friendships do to. If you're looking for something that will help you get in shape, build your confidence, and have a little fun too, check out Krav Maga Detroit. Wish I would've found them sooner.
