Welcome to Krav Maga Eccles

Founded in 2014 by Adrian Pyke and Nick Slack and with over 22 years experience in Krav Maga we offer authentic Israeli tuition.

Learning real world self defence techniques will build you confidence, strength and stamina, you will learn to defend yourself and those around you and become more aware and confident in stressful and potentially dangerous situations. We also do some circuit work to start in each class as well, which will add to your strength and stamina, keeping you fit.

Adrian and Nick both trained at KMSD (UK) one of the UK's first and most senior Krav Maga clubs.

The Sunday Times

"The most realistic self defence system in the UK today."

Combat Magazine

"Krav Maga has more self defence cred than any other system we know about."

GQ Magazine

"Totally practical
no flashy kicks or great spiritual angle."

Bear Grylls

"Krav Maga teaches never to let an aggressor into your safe zone."

The British Krav Maga Association

"Krav Maga is the official self defence system of the Israeli Defence Forces
and is considered by many to be one of the most effective systems in the world."

Adrian Pyke

Adie is a time served practitioner and graduate of both the Krav Maga and Kapap defensive systems and was one of KMNW's first students.

With over 15 years of experience in the Israeli Martial Arts, Adie has trained not only with KMNW & KMSD but has attended numerous seminars and courses hosted by the likes of Amnon Darsa of the International Krav Maga Federation, as well as Avi Nardia and Albert Timen of the International Kapap Federation.

Adie says that "Krav Maga and Kapap are by far the most realistic and streetwise systems available today, the fact that they are used by the military, police and security forces worldwide means these systems work."

Nick Slack

Nick has trained in different forms of self-defence for many years, namely Thai-Boxing, Kali-Silat, Wing Chun, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts.

He also has a passion for training and learning. Nick got involved in Krav Maga over 10 years ago and has progressed steadily through the grading systems to finally become a Krav Maga Instructor at KMSD.

Nick says "I have always loved martial arts, but I found most systems took far too long to learn and were not based upon self-defence for real life street situations."
