Krav Maga for young people

Verbally and physically stronger in a challenging world

Adolescence is an important and vulnerable stage of development. Adolescents increasingly come into independent contact with strangers, peer pressure and transgressive behaviour. With Krav Maga, they learn to defend themselves in a practical, accessible way in threatening situations, both verbally and physically.

But they learn more than that: in classes, young people also build self-confidence, resilience, fitness and strength. Krav Maga Youth is the training for mental and physical development in a safe and positive environment.

What you learn

The training sessions are intensive, informative and focus on self-control, respect and cooperation. In addition, we train:

Dealing with peer pressure and boundless behaviour
Learning to act assertively and confidently
Applying techniques in realistic scenarios
Responding verbally and physically to dangerous situations
Working on strength, fitness and coordination

For whom.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience or background.

This group is especially for 12- to 16-year-olds. Everyone is welcome, with or without sports experience. We provide a safe and positive training environment in which everyone can develop.

Within the lessons, we take into account differences in age, experience and self-confidence. We work in levels, just as with adults.

Growth, recognition and quality within Krav Maga

International Krav Maga Federation

Taus Gym is affiliated to the IKMF, the largest and most recognised Krav Maga organisation in the world.

The IKMF develops the curriculum, monitors quality and organises the official exams.

This international structure allows young people to develop within a clear, recognised system of grades.

IKMF membership

If your child trains at an IKMF-approved school, personal IKMF membership is mandatory.

This membership:

Costs €10 per year
Is required for participation in exams
Provides access to recognised certificates and national or international advancement opportunities

More information on membership and registration can be found here.

Why exams?

Krav Maga is not a martial art with competition, but a practical system for self-defence.

Exams are there to test whether you have mastered the techniques and are ready for the next step. So they are not an obligation, but a means of measuring your progress and continuing to develop yourself.

We work with:

- Local exams at Taus Gym

- National exams under the supervision of IKMF-NL

The exams are conducted according to IKMF's official standards and are internationally recognised.

Gradations within IKMF

Within the youth group, we work with levels:

- Junior levels (J1 to J5)

Each level builds on the previous one and is tailored to the physical and mental development of young people aged between 12 and 15.

Children progressing from Kids Krav Maga start in the level they have achieved, minus one (e.g. K4 → J3)

Young people who later transfer to the adult group continue in a similar way (e.g. J3 → P2), with additional preparation

Exams and preparation

How do you prepare?

To be well prepared to participate in the IKMF exam, regular attendance at Krav Maga training sessions is essential.

Taus Gym also offers targeted support through special preparatory training, including curriculum training and a mandatory pre-test prior to the exam.

Participation in an exam is only possible with commitment from the instructor. This will consider training time, commitment and mastery of techniques.

Info & details on pre-tests and exams

If you register for an exam or event, we count on your attendance.

In case of cancellation or no-show, the costs will still be charged, as this hinders the organisation and creates extra work.

‎A registration is therefore final.

Thanks for your understanding!

Curriculum training

To give young people the chance to prepare for the next level in a targeted way, we organise one curriculum training per year.
