Krav Maga Southend - Head Instructor - Craig Wood

Hi there! I'm a Head Instructor and owner of Krav Maga Southend, I have a huge passion for self-defense and helping people to better themselves.

As a former military professional, I have a deep understanding of the importance of self-defense and its practical applications in real-life situations. My dedication to helping individuals and communities feel confident and empowered through self-defense training has been a driving force in my life.

At KMS, I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment for all students. I believe in fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect among our members, and I work hard to ensure that ego and bravado have no place in our community.

Our Reviews

What our students, past and present have said about us...

“I have studied quite a few martial arts and fighting systems. So far Krav Maga has been the most adaptable and applicable to modern day to day situations. The instructors are really friendly and very knowledgeable. The classes are hard and will give you a great workout and some occasional bumps and scrapes - but then you are there to learn fighting not dancing.”

Chris Sandall

“I have been going to Craig's Krav Maga class for a few years now and have found it extremely useful. Craig always finds a way to make the classes interesting, fun and engaging for everybody, regardless of fitness levels or experience. The other group members are always friendly and put huge effort in when it comes to the drills. My fitness has greatly improved since I have been there but more importantly my mental attitude and awareness has improved greatly so that I can hopefully spot potential threats before they escalate but with the knowledge that if they do I have simple techniques that I can remember so I stand a much better chance of surviving.”

Kevin Rowland

“Fantastic place to learn Krav Maga self defence. I've been a member since 2012 and can say Craig is an excellent instructor with many years experience, he has a lot of enthusiasm to pass on his knowledge and experience to his students. Highly recommend these classes”

John Goodman
