FOUNDER: Krav Maga Elite Essex
WELCOME TO KRAV MAGA
I started Krav Maga Elite because I’ve always been passionate about equipping people with the tools they need to defend themselves.
My motivation was I clear; I wanted to make a difference in the world.
To make people feel comfortable in their own skin. To remove worry and fear. And that’s how I got started teaching Krav Maga. I’d always been passionate about martial arts, but I really honed my skill (and love) when it came to Krav Maga, as I found it to be the most realistic and modern system for defending yourself in an ever increasingly unstable world.
My goal is to give a personal experience to each and every one of our members, to understand more about them, what they would like to achieve and the fears they want to conquer. All whilst helping them live a happy, healthy and balanced life. I look forward to meeting you.
My son has been going for a year and a half, he's 6years old. The trainers are really good with the younger children and make the lessons fun whilst teaching self discipline. Joseph is always excited then its his Krav Maga day.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great feedback! It’s been great to see Joseph’s progress, and we’re really pleased to hear he looks forward to Krav Maga day each week. Keep up the great work, Joseph! 👊
I have been with Krav MAga elite for a year it has taught me so much and helped with my confidence im different scenarios.
I satrted the kickboxing classes a few months ago and they are fun, energetic, and engaging. They have helped me build both confidence and technique, while providing a great workout in a supportive environment. I always leave feeling motivated and challenged.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review!
It's fantastic to hear how much your confidence has grown over the past year. We're also really pleased you're enjoying the Kickboxing classes and finding them fun, challenging, and rewarding.
Thanks for being part of the Krav Maga Elite community. See you on the mats! 👊
Kickboxing was always something I wanted to try again and I have found elite a very welcoming and friendly place to join. Every skill level is welcome and Aidan is very patient and clear with his instructions and will answer any questions you have. Highly recommend joining!!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much Georgina, it means a lot as starting the Kickboxing has always been a long term goal of ours! Thank you for being part of it.
I joined to improve my fitness and add to my martial arts experience, but I've gained so much more than that. The classes are challenging, fun, and welcoming, with brilliant instructors who make everyone feel comfortable. There's a fantastic atmosphere, and I genuinely enjoy coming every week.
Response from the owner:Krav Maga, Kickboxing and Bootcamp. You're doing it all Sarah!
I tried kickboxing here after doing bootcamp for a while and I absolutely love it. I’ve never done anything like this before and I’m honestly hooked. Aidan has been amazing – super patient and supportive. When I don’t quite get the technique, he’s happy to slow it down and go over it again, and he always takes the time to answer any questions. Jon is also great and definitely pushes you to do your best and really see what you’re capable of. Everyone there is super friendly and welcoming. It’s an awesome environment to learn something new, get a great workout, and feel supported the whole time.

Response from the owner:Kickboxing and Bootcamp, smashing it each week Susan!
Our Daughter start at Elite doing Krav Maga just after Xmas 2026 after a bumpy start with being worried she made new friends and really enjoys going she started by doing 1 day a week and now doing 3 days a week, I would highly recommend Elite the guys are all really friendly and encouraging. Elite is great for kids that need to help build confidence as well as learning to defend themselves should they ever need to.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really glad to hear your daughter has grown in confidence and is enjoying her training with us. It’s great to see her progress from one session a week to three, that’s amazing! We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to support her journey.
100% happy to have found this incredible club in Battlesbridge. My 12 year old son has been attending Krav Maga Elite for over a year. He is a changed boy! Confident, walking tall and much happier. He looks forward to attending every week.
The classes are mixed with both boys and girls and are fun, relaxed and informative. This club is understanding and inclusive of all the needs of its members, regardless of ability. The instructions in the classes are easy to follow, there is lots of laughter, participation and games. Lee is an incredibly patient, caring and fun teacher, I cannot praise him enough. The entire staff are like one big family. They know everyone by name and are extremely helpful.
The club is very easy to get to. Parking is plentiful. Lots of tables/seats for parents/carers inside. Hot and cold drinks available. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxed. The club is spotlessly clean and very well organised. We are so lucky to have found this gem.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
We’re so pleased to hear how much your son has grown in confidence and is enjoying the classes. That’s exactly what we aim for 😊
Lee and the whole team will be delighted to hear your feedback. Creating a welcoming, supportive and fun environment for all our students is something we’re very passionate about.
We’re so glad to have you as part of our Krav Maga Elite family!
My kids have been coming here for almost two years now and their confidence has grown so much. They both really enjoy the sessions and the instructors have a fantastic way of working with them.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your lovely review, Laura. It’s been a pleasure watching your children grow in confidence. We’re so glad they enjoy their sessions, and your support means a great deal to the whole team. We look forward to seeing them continue to progress 😊
11 year old son has been attending Krav Maga here for nearly two years. He still loves coming twice a week. It's boosted his confidence, he's made friends and the instructors are patient and enthusiastic. Highly recommended and great value.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Dave! We're thrilled your son has loved training with us for nearly two years and that it's boosted his confidence and friendships. Our instructors will be pleased to hear their patience and enthusiasm made a difference. We really appreciate your recommendation and continued support.
My Boy started here 2 and half years ago, with no confidence and being bullied, he's now passed his ambassador programme of 2 years and now gone into Teens with much more confidence now and has learned a lot of basic life skills on how to handle real life situations if they were ever to occur.
If you feel your child could do with some training, feel free to get in touch with one of the team.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Paul, for sharing your son's journey and for your kind words. We're thrilled he completed the two year ambassador programme and has gained confidence and practical life skills. It's wonderful to hear he's thriving in our Teens class. We appreciate the recommendation and welcome other parents to get in touch with our team.
Great club to join! My son loves coming every week and his confidence has grown since joining. Staff are very friendly and always welcoming. Lee is my son’s instructor who is great with the kids and very patient with them. They are very good with the children and inclusive of any additional needs as well. They are always patient with them which is lovely to see. Tom behind the desk is always a great help, super friendly and always welcomes us with a smile.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your lovely review, Rochanne. We're delighted your son enjoys coming each week and that his confidence has grown — we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Lee and Tom. Providing a welcoming, patient, and inclusive environment for all children is very important to us, and we appreciate you noticing. We look forward to seeing you both at the club.
Amazing club! My children have been coming for around 2yrs & love it! Staff are very friendly, very professional. Would highly recommend.

We're thrilled your children have enjoyed the club for the past two years and that our team has been friendly and professional. Hearing that you'd highly recommend us means a lot. We look forward to continuing to support your family.
My son has been attending the Krav self-defence classes for over a year and the transformation has been remarkable. His confidence has grown tremendously and he's gained practical skills to protect himself. The instructors are patient, professional and create an environment where kids actually have fun whilst learning at the same time. I highly recommend Krav Maga Elite.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review and for trusting us with your son’s training. We’re thrilled to hear his confidence and skills have grown, and we’ll be sure to pass your praise along to our instructors. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to supporting his continued progress.
The instructors especially Aidan are excellent. The facilities are brilliant. If you’d like to try something different in a safe and engaging environment then I highly recommend Krav Maga in Battlesbridge. 👍
Response from the owner:Thank you for your fantastic review, Danny! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience and found our instructors and facilities to be excellent. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to seeing you in class again soon!
Great club to be a part of. Everybody is friendly and the instructors are amazing and very skilled. I have been going for over 5 years now and still enjoy it
Response from the owner:Thank you Mark, it's a pleasure to have you in the club.
Great class structure and tuition, the demonstrations and guidance from the instructors are spot on. The other pupils are really friendly and thoroughly enjoy training with the more experienced guys who also give me pointers and corrections to my technique. Awesome community.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, David! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy the class structure and find the instructors and community supportive. It's great to know that you're benefiting from the guidance and camaraderie with your fellow pupils. We look forward to seeing you in class and continuing to support your training journey!
My son joined Krav Maga Elite recently and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for him. The staff, the club and the classes are absolutely incredible. My son took part in a brilliant Nerf party event and everything was catered for. My son said he really loved it. We have all as a family have been welcomed into the club and it literally feels like being part of a family. I can’t recommend it enough ❤️
Response from the owner:Sam, thankyou very much. Such kind words that we'll pass on to the whole team 🙏
Only been going to Krav Maga Elite for a few weeks and it’s already become one of the highlights of my week. I’m getting much fitter, feel great and I’ve learnt a lot. But more than that, it’s a brilliant community of great and friendly people from all walks of life, of all ages and levels of experience. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Matt, thank you very much for the kind words. Great to have you with us!! So pleased your enjoying it and it only gets better!
Had a taster session with the guys and they were so welcoming and understanding that I couldn't commit straight away. I have now joined the 16 week foundation programme and I am loving every second of it. The instructors and students are all fantastic, taking the time to explain everything and teaching us how to deal with real life situations. As an overweight 53 year old, I am loving this new lease of life. If I can do it, so can you. You won't regret it.
Response from the owner:Thank you ever so much Grahame for your lovely words. It's truly delightful to hear that you're finding the training enjoyable and benefiting from it. We're absolutely thrilled! We're excited to watch you progress as you continue. Thanks again!
The team at Battlesbridge are fantastic! My two children have been attending their classes for years and continue to learn some very important and valuable defence skills.
Response from the owner:Hey Louise, thanks so much for the kind word, we love what we do helping the kids to learn practical self defence! See you at class.
