Yes, Krav Maga includes ground fighting elements! While Krav Maga is primarily focused on practical, real-world self-defense and avoiding prolonged engagements, it recognizes that fights can end up on the ground. Our training at Krav Maga Detroit incorporates techniques to handle these scenarios effectively. 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 goal isn’t to grapple like in sport-based martial arts, but to survive and escape using simple, efficient moves tailored to real-life encounters.
