Jewish Women's Krav Maga Class for Self-Defense- Level II (Approval Required)

About this event

Instructor Leslie Lefranc has skillfully adapted Krav Maga specifically for women. Her methods and strategies address scenarios frequently faced by women at work and in public spaces. Our classes emphasize four key areas: self-defense, situational awareness, fitness, and self-confidence. Participants are motivated and empowered to concentrate on practical issues.

Leslies Bio:

Leslie was certified as a full IKMA Gidon system Krav Maga instructor in 2012 under US Chief Instructor and 3rd Degree Black Belt, Israeli Krav Maga David Khan. She trained with Israeli Masters for long hours and attended many seminars worldwide to hone her skills. In 2015, she learned and certified for the women-enabled pink belt at the Gracie Academy in Torrance, California, with Rener Gracie. She teaches important advice, strategies, and techniques that can save lives. Over the years, she had boiled down a curriculum to various useful tools. Because the Krav Maga system is well integrated, common defensive principles apply to various attack scenarios. Thus, the system can be learned in a relatively short period of instruction. The techniques are easy to retain and can be performed under stress.

Class requirements: If you are wearing a skirt, wear shorts underneath. Wear closed-toe athletic shoes with good grip and tie the laces securely. Remove all jewelry before class, and keep your hair tied back. Remember to bring your water bottle. Your clothing should allow you to move freely while staying comfortable during all techniques and movements.
