Welcome To Krav Maga Cornwall

Pure and effective self defence Training

About Us

welcoming students to train from any level or ability

Having begun Krav Maga Cornwall Ltd in 2010 with the British Krav Maga Association, it is through founder and head instructor, Dan Tswei, that Krav Maga Cornwall proudly holds Europe’s first black belt CT707 as qualified by Sgt Maj Nir Maman of the IDF in 2019 after having previously qualified under CT707 in 2011.

Having worked with the Military, the Navy and local Police forces, KMC offers disciplined and intensive classes with a dedicated focus on personal safety and eliminating the threat. When Krav Maga was initially devised it was a military system, of pure self-defence. The moves were not created to boost an ego or to be flashy or competitive. This is a value we keep in order to deliver the most effective and truest form of Krav Maga.

Establishments that KMC have worked with include women’s refuge centres, safe homes for surviving trafficked victims, orphanages, NGOs, private security firms, premier football clubs, and primary & secondary schools and colleges.*

Love training and learning new ways of defending myself and loved ones when needed. Even with big gaps in training due to work and child care always remembered and always welcomed. Always a highlight of my week even the fitness side great team

    Liam Cheney

    Ellie is a superb instructor that makes everyone feel comfortable and able to take part with confidence. Krav Maga is a great self defence option and Krav Maga Cornwall are the best people to learn from! They instructed from our gym for a year and if they ever wanted to come back, they’d be welcome anytime.

      Having just finished a course of one-to-one sessions with Ellie at Krav Maga Cornwall I feel compelled to write a review as my experience was exceptionally positive. In what initially could be perceived as quite a daunting subject, Ellie was incredible, very professional, understanding and made learning fun with easy to follow techniques. Testament to my new found enjoyment in this subject, I am now joining her group sessions and truly believe that Ellie does help you to get home safely.

        A fantastic club with fantastic people! Everybody who came during my time there, even if just for one class, took away something that could one day save their life. If you’re looking for a challenge, both physically and mentally, then give this club a go! You never know, one day you may need it!

          Mark Barlow

          I loved my time here with the class. Only working away stopped me attending. Dan, Wayne and Matt all excellent instructors. The environment was always so friendly. Krav Maga is a great skill to know to give you confidence in all troublesome situations. Plus you get a great workout and lose a few pounds. What could be better?

            Gary Williams

            We have loved every second of working with Krav Maga Cornwall - from their professionalism and knowledge to their quality coaching and teaching they have been fantastic having in our training space. Their self defence class has been an incredible addition to our timetable at Sequoia Movement and really look forward to continuing working together into the future. Highly recommend!

                I started Krav Maga in July 2023 to get way outside my comfort zone, build my confidence and learn a useable last resort skill. Ellie’s classes are hugely inclusive, fun and efficient. Students are encouraged to train hard but always to their ability and everyone I have met has been supportive and respectful

                  Nick Smith

                  My partner and I joined almost 2 years ago and have loved every class! Both Ellie and Dan are approachable, inclusive and extremely knowledgeable. They make sure each learner leaves the class with new skills, knowledge and a higher confidence. Everyone is friendly and always takes initiative to help each other and welcome newcomers. On top of the effective self defence methods you will get to learn, your overall fitness will be improved every week and you will leave each class with a smile on your face!

                    I joined KMC to feel more confident and be able to defend myself. Ellie's classes are upbeat and a proper workout as well as focusing on technique. I've learned so much in a short period of time and already feel more confident. I feel safe and respected at all times here. Would thoroughly recommend.

                      I started Krav Maga to do something outside of my comfort zone and to be able to learn a new skill and to make friends. I was very nervous when I first started but found everyone to be so welcoming and that they are happy to share their knowledge. Ellie and Dan are great trainers and will always help you if you are not sure about something. Would highly recommend.

                        Chris Hyde

                        Simple but highly effective pure self defence skills are brilliantly taught at KMC by coaches Ellie and Dan. Everyone who joins is welcomed and made to feel part of the club. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

                          Effective, fun, useful, and a decent workout for all. I have been at KMC since 2019, and have learned a lot in the 4 years
