I teach every week at the New Era Martial Club Quarry Bay at New Era Martial Club, Eastern Harbour Centre Unit 908, 9th floor, 28 Hoi Chak Street, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong. What is Urban Krav Maga? As its name suggests, Urban Krav Maga (UKM) is a fighting system that has its roots in the Israeli self-defence system: Krav Maga Urban Krav Maga consists of a wide combination of techniques sourced from various martial arts, combat sports and fighting systems such as Karate, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) among others. Michael Chan is a qualified Urban Krav Maga Instructor under the British Combat Association UK. He brings a wealth of Martial Arts experience to Hong Kong. Michael has practiced and trained in Krav Maga since 2012 and became a qualified instructor in 2018.

Brand New Weekly Classes @ New Era Martial Club Quarry Bay Urban Krav Maga is a defence system that: The Urban Krav Maga aim is to equip the student as soon as possible to defend themselves against the most common attacks they may face. Once the student has mastered these techniques more difficult scenarios are addressed to build a support system that will enable the student to deal with almost any situation. By teaching concepts through techniques, students are taught how to read a situation and react/respond accordingly, even if they have not experienced that exact same scenario in training. Giving students the ability to improvise is an important element of our training, this is not like learning a kata. Awareness, avoidance and pre-emption are placed high in order of priority but we recognise that you can’t always avoid a potential violent encounter. We teach everything that is needed for self defence when it’s necessary in all environments, including, highly confined, crowded spaces, cars, shopping centres, nightclubs, buses etc. We make no apologies for our civilian approach to street violence and our subsequent breakaway from the original military solutions in dealing with armed attackers: a knife defence based on somebody attacking like they were making a committed bayonet thrust will not be so effective as one that is based on somebody stabbing with an aggressive pumping/piston motion with fast recoil when we are dealing with today’s street. As stated we retain the term Krav Maga as our approach reflects that on which Krav Maga was originally founded and we are, of course, indebted to the experiences we have gained training with the various Israeli Fighting Systems
