A bottle of water (or other rehydrating fluid) is a must! Drinking water throughout the session is expected and encouraged. A towel to wipe your sweat off is also a good idea.

Yes, Vault offer private classes and can be tailored around busy schedules.  1-1 tuition is the fastest way to improve.  Tailored lessons can also be arranged for specific requirements, e.g. for high threat environment work abroad.

At VAULT Defence Krav Maga Clubs we believe people have different fitness levels and therefore we ask each student to train as hard as they can or want to push themselves, although we encourage all students to work hard to get the best out of each session, Krav Maga is not about being fit or strong.
Sessions are fairly laid back with a friendly atmosphere, if students need to take a break then so be it, no pressure or ill feeling.

NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
The principles of Vault Krav Maga applicable to self defence are simplicity, ease of learning and effectiveness.

Therefore no experience in martial arts or combat sports is necessary.

No specialised equipment is needed to train, but again if you’re looking to train on a regular basis students are advised to purchase arm, shin and groin guards along with grappling gloves. All other equipment needed will be provided by Vault at each lesson. The Vault syllabus covers a multitude of threats including defending against knives, sticks, bottles and firearms.

A simple t-shirt, jogging bottoms or tactical trousers along with comfortable trainers is all you need to get yourself going, but if attending on a regular basis you are encouraged to wear the official Vault T-shirt available for purchase.

Vault is by far the largest and longest running Krav Maga school in Northern Ireland.  

Our credentials are not something we shout nor boast about, but we have instructors who are very highly trained, skilled and experienced in material that simply cannot be bought.  Vault’s major strength is its diversity of expertise from the wealth of experience of our instructor base.  For example, one of our instructors is heavily involved in professional active shooter defence think-tanks and training across Europe at an elite level.

Our syllabus has evolved much since 2006 as we recognise the natures of threats to you are constantly changing.

Vault is active almost daily on Facebook!  Check out our posts and videos at the main Vault Krav Maga page.  Each Vault class has its own Facebook page too.
