Sparring Skills Workshop (10:30 – 12:30)

Following on from our previous sparring session, this workshop continues the process of building skill, composure, and confidence under pressure.

Last time we focused on reducing the fear of contact and introducing a structured pathway into sparring. This session develops that further — refining timing, distance management, and decision-making while under stress.

Sparring remains a controlled and agreed training environment. It allows us to safely pressure-test our striking, movement, and reactions from the front against a visible opponent. The goal isn’t just to “fight,” but to become more relaxed, more efficient, and more intelligent under pressure.

Self Defence Skills & P&G Level Training (1pm – 3pm)

Continuing this conversation, we now shift from agreed combat to the reality of self-defence.

If sparring is structured and consensual, self-defence is not. Attacks may come from the side, from behind, unexpectedly, and potentially with a weapon involved. There is no referee, no shared rules, and no warning bell.

This session will focus on P&G curriculum material dealing with side attacks and unexpected threats, alongside situation management and de-escalation. We’ll revisit the theory of violence — distinguishing between social and predatory violence — and examine how the body’s stress response affects our performance.

Using KMG’s timeline concept of response, we will connect awareness, prevention, and action. The objective is to bridge the gap between training and reality — understanding when to disengage, when to comply, and when decisive action is required.

Cost is €50 for the workshop which can be paid on the day, please register for this event with your instructor.

Self Defence Dymanics - focusing on the non-fighting elements of self defence, from identifying the different types of violent situations to the body’s response to stress

We look forward to seeing as many members Krav Maga practitioners of all levels to attend as it will be a great day to mix & meet members from our KMG Ireland community and will also be excellent prep for P & G gradings this year. Full details below……

Sparring Skills Development(10:00 - 12:00)

Sparring can feel intimidating, but it’s a crucial part of developing real-world fighting ability. This session will take a structured, logical approach to building sparring skills, focusing on removing the fear of contact and helping students gain confidence in a safe, controlled manner. Whether you’re new to sparring or experienced, this session will help you sharpen your skills while keeping training practical and progressive.

KMG Curriculum Review (12:30 - 14:30)

Stay up to date with the latest KMG P,G&E curriculum updates in this review session. We’ll break down the reasoning behind key techniques and responses in Krav Maga, giving students a deeper understanding of the “why” behind what we do. This is also an open opportunity for students to ask questions about the curriculum, techniques, and their application in real-world scenarios.

Self-Defense Dynamics (15:00 - 17:00)

Self-defense goes beyond physical techniques—understanding violence, situational awareness, and the body’s stress response is just as important as knowing how to fight. In this session, we’ll cover the theory of violence, distinguishing between social and predatory threats, explore situation management strategies, and dive into KMG’s timeline concept of response. This session will give you a stronger mental framework for handling violent encounters before they even become physical.
