IKMF Krav Maga Primal offers self-defense courses for children. The "Kids Krav" program was developed by IKMF (International Krav Maga Federation) as a component of self-defense solutions for the civilian sector. This program offers children the opportunity to learn, in a relatively short time, a series of self-defense techniques adapted to their age, as well as their degree of physical and mental development.

​

​

   Through the IKMF Krav Maga trainings offered by the Dacians school, children are taught to recognize the most common threats, starting from the phenomenon of "Bullying" (encountered at school, on the street, in playgrounds) to attempted kidnappings. At the same time, the trainings aim to strengthen their self-confidence and cultivate their discipline and respect. The methods used during training, especially for younger age groups, mainly include various specific games.

​

​

   These games help children develop coordination, assertiveness and teach them to follow advice and directions. These games also teach them how to avoid conflict and how to defend themselves when needed to escape a dangerous situation. During the trainings they will be presented and carefully explained the different scenarios that may occur. They will also be told the differences between being bullied by another child or a schoolmate, and being bullied by an adult. They will be presented with defense options depending on the case, proportional to the severity of the situation.

​

​

   IKMF Krav Maga self-defense courses for children are divided into age categories. As they get older, the percentage of games decreases, and the techniques learned begin to look more and more like those taught to adults. This program teaches children to live up to their commitments and develops their resilience. It also teaches them to appreciate and be proud of their own achievements, when they learn a new technique, or when they successfully pass a degree exam. Children will consciously achieve personal evolution and will understand that no goal is impossible to achieve.
