About Us
Krav Maga Is Realistic
Tested on the battlefields of Israel, Krav Maga is not a martial art. It is a system of self defense that has adapted to new weapons and to people of different body shapes and sizes. It is designed to work for you - no matter your fitness level, no matter your age.
Your Safety Is Our Priority
Both your physical and mental health are important to us. Not only do our instructors know how to train you in a way to keep you physically safe, but they have also been trained in trauma-informed care to help you mentally work through self defense.
Proud Member Of The IKMF
The International Krav Maga Federation (IKMF), founded in 1996, continues Imi's legacy to teach those who practice Krav Maga to walk in peace. Our IKMF family stretches both across Minnesota and the globe.
What Is Trauma-Informed Self-Defense?
We understand that certain moves and techniques can sometimes be empowering and sometimes be traumatic, depending on where you are in your journey of healing. At Valley Self-Defense, all of our instructors have been trained in trauma-informed care by a local educator.
SCHEDULE
Our self defense classes are designed to accommodate everyone, no matter their skill or fitness level. Currently, ages for our All Levels classes are 15+ and our BJJ classes are 17+ or with the approval of Peter, Shelly, and Danae. If you have any questions or would like to speak with the instructors before attending, please email valleyselfdefense@gmail.com or text/call 651-504-2255.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can't find the answer to your question still? You can email us at valleyselfdefense@gmail.com or text/call us at 651-504-2255.
Everyone has the right to feel confident and safe on the street and in their own body. Krav Maga is designed to use your natural reaction to defend yourself. If you have mobility issues, we can always modify things so that you can always protect yourself.
We would really say that depends. Are you anxious around groups? Are you working through trauma? Private lessons might be better for you, but they will be more expensive. We would be happy to talk through your options with you! Just message us at valleyselfdefense@gmail.com or text/call us at 651-504-2255.
We do ask that you register before class for a few reasons. Outside of helping instructor's plan, it also helps us contact you if class is unexpectedly cancelled or if we need you to bring something with you for the day.
There's no need to know anything in advance in terms of martial arts! In terms of the gym, we do have a restroom that you can change in if you need to. We have water available and during the summer months we have sunscreen and electrolytes available if we are outside. We ask that you bring clean gym shoes for the mats, but if you don't have another pair, we just ask that you wipe off your street shoes. We also suggest that you leave your jewelry at home as it can be a danger to yourself and others. Otherwise, we are so excited to see you on our mat!
