Here's the truth: Is Krav Maga effective? Absolutely, but only when taught correctly by instructors who have trained with the source and know the principles of Krav Maga the way it was developed. KMDS Founders Jarret Waldman and Duncan Pattle are dedicated to exposing ineffective self-defense practices (including watered down Krav Maga) and providing authentic training. We do not offer generic classes or accommodate casual learners. Our training is designed for those who are truly committed: discerning individuals, serious groups, and corporations that prioritize the safety of their employees and loved ones.  

​

Our training isn't for everyone. It's for those who demand excellence and refuse to become victims. If you're not ready to push your limits and face hard truths, please look elsewhere. But if you're serious about staying alive when shit hits the fan, you've come to the right place. No compromise. No excuses. Just raw, effective survival training that could save your life.

With Krav Maga Defensive Solutions, you're not just another face in a crowded dojo. You're part of an elite group receiving personalized, intensive instruction tailored to your specific needs and potential threat scenarios. We cut through the noise and deliver hard-hitting, reality-based training that will help you become your own first line of defense. ​We don't teach fancy moves seen on YouTube or in the movies, we build on practical techniques that are easy to learn, retain, have been stress tested and that will give you the best survival edge. Our core principle? "Proactive Vigilance". This principle emphasizes that situational awareness is an active, ongoing process rather than a passive state. It is integrated into every aspect of our training and can be broken down into these key components:

​​

​​

1. Mental Preparation: Anticipate potential scenarios and plan responses before they occur.

2. Informed Decision-Making: Use gathered information to make quick, effective choices.

3. Adaptive Response: Be ready to adjust your actions based on changing circumstances.

4. Mindful Presence: Stay fully engaged with your surroundings, avoiding distractions that could compromise your safety.

5. Constant Vigilance: Weaving Situational Awareness into Every Aspect of Krav Maga

6. ​​Constant Assessment: Continuously scan and evaluate your environment for potential threats or changes.

 

This principle of "Proactive Vigilance" underpins the practice of situational awareness. It stresses that being aware isn't enough; one must be prepared to act on that awareness. In Krav Maga and self-defense training, this principle guides students to:

​

• Develop a habit of constant environmental scanning

• Learn to quickly identify and prioritize potential threats

• Practice rapid decision-making under stress

• Cultivate a mindset of readiness and adaptability​

​

By embracing this principle, practitioners move beyond simply being alert to actively engaging with their environment, significantly enhancing their ability to prevent, avoid, or effectively respond to dangerous situations. ​Our intensive training program goes beyond traditional self-defense, equipping you with a full spectrum of skills to navigate modern threats. This training includes:

​

1. Enhanced Situational Awareness: Develop a sixth sense for danger, learning to constantly scan and assess your environment.

2. Preventive Defenses: Master techniques to avoid confrontations before they escalate.

3. Advanced Self-Defense and Fighting Tactics: Learn brutally effective methods that work under extreme stress.

4. Improvised Weapons Training: Transform everyday objects into powerful defensive tools.

5. Weapons Threat Neutralization: Gain confidence in handling knife, gun, and other weapon threats.

6. De-escalation Techniques: Learn to defuse tense situations without physical engagement.

7. Rapid Decision-Making: Hone your ability to make split-second choices under pressure.

8. Adaptability in Crisis: Cultivate a flexible mindset to handle unexpected scenarios.
