How We’re Different

ICCS Krav Maga is different than anything you've seen or trained in before. The ICCS approach is different by ensuring that what you train and learn is not just a system of choreographed techniques to make you feel good. It's a system that we truly pressure test with protection so we can safely go at high speed and full contact when tested.
Krav Maga is not a sport based system modified to deal with self-defense situations. Krav Maga is a self-protection system built from the ground up and tested in combat. Krav Maga integrates unarmed and armed combat, including gun and knife use, from many different sources to create practitioners capable of dealing with any type of self-protection situation in a very short period.
These elements ensure that everything you learn is real - it's effective and tested.
