KKM Krav Maga Introduction
KKM Krav Maga’s close-combat tactics consist of techniques that are not meant for starting a fight but for surviving and avoiding dangerous or even life-threatening situations. 

The goal of training is not for performance purposes, but to be able to respond immediately to a threatening situation.  

KKM training is a unique KKM system designed to learn self-defense and survival skills in a short period of time. 

The ultimate goal of training is to maximize the chances of survival by either escaping the situation or by overpowering the opponent by any means necessary in the event of an attack or threat.

Continuous training with the KKM program will greatly help improve your physical strength and gain confidence in your ability to cope with dangerous situations.

KKM Korea Krav Maga Association is spreading an intriguing and practical new sports culture by providing KKM’s programs for self-defense and physical strength improvement to the general public, and by providing practical training methods suitable for the missions of the military or special institutions.
