Krav Maga Complete's fifth venue runs every Thursday at Penwortham Priory Academy. Juniors and teens 6:15pm, adults 7:00pm. Two adult trial classes for £19.99, and a child's first session is free.
Preston runs exactly like every other KMC venue. Pick your session, book online in about a minute, and turn up. Adults pay £19.99 for two trial classes, securely by bank. Kids and teens get their first session free.
The club is new, which makes it the easiest place on our timetable to start. Nobody has been training here for years, so you learn alongside people at the same stage as you, from the same coach, every week.
Juniors and teens train together at Preston: confidence, awareness and age-appropriate self-defence, taught through structured drills and games with strict safety. No fear-based teaching, ever. Parents are welcome to stay and watch.
The full Krav Maga Global system: strikes, defences, chokes, releases, ground work and multiple attackers, scaled for civilians. Every fitness level trains in the same room and you set your own intensity from day one.
We've deliberately picked a spot just south of the Ribble rather than in the middle of town. Penwortham Priory Academy sits on Crow Hills Road with its own car park, which means no city-centre parking and an easy run in from Penwortham, Longton, Hutton, Walton-le-Dale, Bamber Bridge and Leyland, as well as central Preston, which is only a few minutes over the bridge.
School sports halls are what KMC trains in across the Fylde coast, so this is familiar ground: proper space, good lighting, and somewhere you can park and walk straight in.
The two sessions are back to back, which makes the school run easy: drop the kids at 6:15, they finish at 7:00, and the adult class starts straight after, so if you want to train yourself you're already there.
Looking for martial arts classes in Preston for your kids or yourself? This is the place.
Krav Maga Complete has run on the Fylde coast since 2014 and teaches across five venues in Blackpool, Thornton-Cleveleys and Preston: juniors, teens and adults, every week, rated 5.0 on Google. Preston is the fifth venue of an established school, not somebody's first attempt at running a class.
Sessions are led by head coach Kev, who has seventeen years in Krav Maga and is a fully qualified adult and children's instructor, supported by coaches Adam, Daz and Phil. Everyone trains the Krav Maga Global curriculum, the system founded by Imi Lichtenfeld and developed under Eyal Yanilov, scaled to age and ability.
No competition ladder, no sparring league, no tournaments to train for. The curriculum is built around what actually happens in real incidents, and getting away from them.
Contact is light and controlled, especially early on. All fitness levels train in the same room and you dial your own effort up or down from day one.
KMC doesn't tie people into long agreements at any venue, and Preston works the same way. Train because it's worth turning up for.
Wear normal gym kit (loose clothing, clean indoor trainers) and bring a water bottle. No uniform, no gloves, nothing to buy on day one. Arrive about ten minutes before your session starts, introduce yourself to the coach, and flag any injuries.
A typical session runs warm-up, technique, then drills: the coach breaks a movement down step by step, you practise it with a partner using light, controlled contact, then repeat it under slightly more realistic conditions until it feels natural. Nobody is thrown in at the deep end.
For the juniors and teens session, parents are welcome to stay in the hall and watch. Most do the first time.
Adults book two trial classes for £19.99, paid securely by bank through GoCardless when you book online. A child's first session is free. It's the same offer at all five KMC venues, and there's no contract afterwards. Book here →
Every Thursday at Penwortham Priory Academy, Crow Hills Road, PR1 0JE. Juniors and teens (5 to 16) train 6:15 to 7:00pm; adults (17+) train 7:00 to 8:00pm.
Yes. At Preston the juniors and teens train as one session from 6:15 to 7:00pm, so siblings across that age range come at the same time. The coach scales the drills by age and size within the session.
Penwortham Priory Academy on Crow Hills Road, just south of the Ribble in Penwortham. It's a few minutes from Preston city centre and easy to reach from Longton, Hutton, Walton-le-Dale, Bamber Bridge and Leyland. There's a free on-site car park.
None. The Preston club is new, so most of the room are beginners too. That's the easiest possible way to start a martial art.
No, and it's unlikely. All fitness levels train together and you control your own intensity. Contact is light and controlled, especially for beginners; the odd bruise happens in any contact activity, but serious injuries are rare and every session is supervised by certified coaches.
Krav Maga is a self-defence system rather than a sport. There's no competition format, and techniques are chosen for how well they work in real incidents rather than under rules. Full comparison here →
Yes. We also train Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday across Blackpool and Thornton-Cleveleys, and you're welcome to mix venues. See every venue and time →
