Women Only Krav Maga course

Also, women often face violence in a different way than men. That is why the Women Only Krav Maga course teaches you, together with other tough girls and women, how best to defend yourself in threatening situations you may encounter on the street. The course offers you a safe environment in which you can learn to defend yourself and work on developing greater self-confidence.
Prefer not to participate on your own? Together with your mother is also possible! Mothers and daughters have participated together before and it has always been a success.

Open classes
Have you always wanted to show your friends, nieces, nephews, brothers or sisters what you do in class? You will soon be able to! In week four, you get to show exactly what we do in class. Monday 23 January, Tuesday 24 January, Wednesday 25 January and Thursday 26 January are all about getting to know Krav Maga and training together.
Do you know someone who is curious about Krav Maga? Invite them to come and join a class for free. All you need are clean indoor shoes, sportswear and a good mood! Do you already know who you want to bring along? Then quickly let them see the trial lesson form fill in!
Shin guards
Did you pass your K1 or J1 exam? Then we will start practising techniques in class for the next exam. At K2 and J2, we will practice defences against kicks, among other things. It is therefore compulsory to have good shinguards for training. These may not be hard football shinguards, but yielding shinguards, made of foam. This way, you and your buddy can both train nicely!
Don't have shin protection yet? Then come to one of the instructors before class to ask about the possibilities.
The official Taus Gym vest
Have you seen our Taus Gym vest yet? Our members love it. It is a nice and warm vest that is perfect for the cold winter. So you can enter class already nicely warmed up.
Want to try it on first? You can! Ask before class if you can try one on. Then you can feel how comfortable it is. The vest costs 55,- and is available in sizes XXS to XXL! Let us know soon if you want one, before they sell out in your size.
Do you train in Breda, and would also like a vest? Request one via the contact form, then we'll make sure you can get it on as soon as possible!
Now that you are back on top of everything, we can get back to work! The coming time is all about togetherness and sports. We can't wait to see you in class again. See you soon!
