Carpe Diem Krav Maga - Staines

General information

At Carpe Diem we are passionate about life. We see ourselves in you. Regular people seeking to improve their quality of life by doing the things they are passionate about.

We take a 360 view when it comes to wellbeing. Very much inline with the principles of Krav Maga.

When we look at self defense, we look at all the aspects it involves:
- techniques & syllabus – mindset & psychology
- purpose & outcome – fitness & mobility
- aversion & distraction tactics
- negotiation & facilitation

We mention fitness, that’s a big thing for us. Sure we’ll teach you Krav Maga which we liken to an insurance policy. However we don’t see why you shouldn’t get a lot more out of your session. We place great emphasis on physical conditioning. We specialise in Kettlebell training, Primal Move and tactical fitness. A lot of these element are incorporated into our classes. We feel good physical conditioning will make you a much better Krav Maga practitioner. We seek to differentiate our students in every way we can.

In our regular classes we focus on following the principles of Krav Maga and not solely focus on techniques. Principles are the context and we never lose sight of that. Our goal is to maximise your safety outside our classes. That said when it comes to grading, we like our students to be over-prepared. We conduct syllabus walk-through sessions, pre-grading programmes, mock gradings and sign-off every student individually before registering them for a grading.

We believe in strong values which we hope you share. We don’t impose them, as we believe our students should embody them in the first place.

Carpe Diem core values:
- train hard – there are no shortcuts
- be a student – willing to learn
- respect your fellow club members – we are a family
- exercise control at all times – we do not tolerate bad behaviour
- there are no egos – we have nothing to prove
- never give up – have an indomitable spirit

The bottom line is we practice Krav Maga because we love it.

That’s why we are passionate about sharing our knowledge with you.
