South West Krav Maga - Swindon

I started training with South West Krav Maga about 7 months ago and I can tell yout that it is the best thing I've ever done. It helped me to develop personally, improved my fitness level, boosted my confidence and gave me a set of tools to defend myself and/or loved ones if need be. Kennie Gould is a great instructor who knows exactly how to help you to push yourself further when you feel like you have reached your limits and show you that you can achive anything. All the guys at training are all helpful, even if they've been training for much longer, we all work as a team despite the mixed level of experiences so beginners can feel relaxed to join and catch up. I wish I could say anything bad so I'd sound more believable, but honestly Krav Maga, specially South West Krav Maga is the best.

Training at South West Krav Maga in Swindon is both fun and rewarding. The professionalism in the training is second to none and the skills I have learned are based on real - life situations. The training exercises allow for quick adoption of an effective self defence system.I really enjoy it and couldn't recommend it more.

I recently attended a krav maga seminar organised by Kenny of South West Krav Maga, who are affiliated with the Krav Maga Alliance from the U.S. An organisation headed up by John Whitman.It was in fact John and his training team from the states that led the seminar.Four hours of rapid intense training flew by, the techniques are easy to learn and quick to master which is the heart of Krav Maga!John's teaching method was great, clear and concise delivered with passion.This was a great seminar and I feel lucky to have been a part of it.Thanks to Kenny of South West Krav Maga for organising and inviting me Richard golder of North Bristol Krav Maga along. Sharing and training together with no politics. Awesome.

Would highly recommend to anyone looking to gain skills and confidence in self defence. Kennie is by far the best instructor you can ever ask for when it comes to no bs, straight to the point practical training. Anyone serious about improving themselves will find more than they're looking for here. I wish I had joined sooner.

I've been a member for over two years now and Kennie is great instructor, he knows his stuff and keeps us on our toes. My fitness levels have shot up, like all new members.Recently we've had John Whitman over from the US, the founder of Krav Maga Alliance, gaining his insights and teachings on Krav Maga, making it a great seminar.I'm also sure there'll be even more to come from South West Krav Maga.

Since July 2018, I have been a Krav Maga Practitioner. I joined South West Krav Maga - Swindon (SWKM) primarily to improve my fitness, but also to learn something new. Nearly a year on, I can honestly say I should have done this much sooner! It is one of the best decisions I've made in my life to improve my fitness, confidence and continue to this day learn new things *every* session!I started SWKM without any fitness training for 5+ years. After 8 weeks (1 session a week), I was keeping up with the others. After 3 months, I'd lost 2 stone. I then started going twice a week and realised how fast you can build stamina, plus have a noticeable improvements to your technique.South West Krav Maga (Swindon) is overseen by Kennie Gould, a highly experienced instructor, receiving his accreditation from the home of Krav Maga: Wingate, Israel. This, combined with Kennie's experiences in close protection and working in the armed forces re-enforces how much knowledge you are getting from these sessions. Kennie refreshes his training regularly through UK travel and Europe.

Hi, I joined Kennie's Souh West Krav Maga class recently and was warmly welcomed by all. And to be honest it has taken me by surprise how intertested I have become with Krav Maga. This is no doubt down to the fantastic Intructor led, by example, training Kennie encourages. I have pushed my body to its phyiscal limits during classes. But was encouraged to keep trying and never have I left a class feeling disatisfied. Body may be tired but I feel unbelievable(accomplised).I would highly reccommend anyone to check it out. Self Defence, confidence, fitness all soar after some Krav Maga :)

I've been going to krav maga for about 2 months now and it has been amazing. A constant learning experience which is very interesting.It is a very good work out (why I joined) and you get to learn a fantastic method of real world self defense from a very knowledgeable and experienced black belt instructor. Kennie is a fountain of knowledge and it's awesome to be able to learn from him.I was also new to the area and have anxiety issues so not only does this help with my mental health but I've also met a great bunch of people who have made me feel very comfortable and welcome.Thank you to Kennie and the whole SWKM family!

I started training in Krav Maga around two years ago at the Reading venue with Kenny Gould as my instructor on Thursdays and Saturdays. I would like to share how Krav Maga has helped me develop as a person and provided me with the tools for the type of self-defence I was really looking for.I was looking for a self-defence class as a way to get fit and learn some new moves without the hassle that goes with all martial arts of grading, along with the events and competitions so this is why Krav Maga South West ticked all of these boxes for me.Krav Maga is not a martial art, it is a military self-defence/fighting system used by the British Special Forces and therefore every session focuses on 30% fitness and conditioning with 70% structured teaching from Kenny Gould the instructor.Kenny Gould is a former British soldier and has worked in the close protection industry as highly skilled operator for many years and this really shows in his teaching styles and short lectures along with seminars which are held every 3 to 4 months, which I may add are not mandatory but are a lot of fun and very social.I now train with Kenny at his Tuesday and Thursday sessions in Swindon and the one thing that stands out above all is that all the members over the past couple of years do not stand on ceremony and are all very sociable.
