Imperial Beach Krav Maga Academy
Our goal is to convey to our students the means to survive combat. We train survival by using brutally efficient combat techniques. We engage with maximum force and retreat to safety as combat allows.
About us
We teach a simple philosophy. Attack, Adapt, Survive. Our combative style is a blending of strong basics in the most effective fighting systems including Boxing, Judo, BJJ, Wrestling, Muay Thai, and Eskrima. This is KRAV MAGA as we believe it should be!
Our founder Thomas has a long history of Martial Arts training. Beginning with boxing under his father's tutelage as well as Judo as a teen. Followed by Tae Kwon Do as a young man then teaching Kenpo as an instructor. Krav Maga is his passion along with Eskrima. His life has been surrounded with the intricacies of hand to hand combat. This is how the IBKMA style came to be. We use footwork and ranging for both offense and defense, striking from angles and close range when it is seemingly impossible to do. We use focused aggression and technique over brute force. This is IBKMA, the Thinking Fighters Gym.
