Newsletter
Welcome to our June 2025 Newsletter...
A message from Ben:
We’re heading into summer with solid momentum. Classes have stayed busy, and the energy on the mats has been sharp. It’s good to see people training with purpose – especially with October’s grading already on the horizon.The goal now is simple: keep showing up, keep improving, and stay locked in. Everyone should be on target for the next grading, but what you're doing now sets the standard for then.Thanks for continuing to be part of the AMK tribe. We’re building something special – not just in terms of skills, but in community, mindset, and support. We’re working on improving our class layouts and how we can help members advance when they get to their next grades so you’ll see some tweaks soon.Let’s keep pushing forward.
Important upcoming dates and info for members
July Closure – Plan Ahead
As per the events calendar, we’ll be closed from Saturday 5th July for one week. There will be a skeleton timetable running, so check the TeamUp app to see what sessions are still on.A quick reminder: all memberships are based on a 48-week training year, spread across 12 monthly payments, giving you 4 weeks of training per month. You still have your usual session allowance – for example, 8 sessions a month – so if you miss any, try to make them up before or after the break.Plan ahead, train hard, and we’ll see you back to full schedule the following week.
This Sunday 22nd June - Gun Defence Workshop
This Sunday we’re running a free workshop focused on handgun threats – a rare chance to train techniques we don’t usually cover in regular classes.It kicks off at 9:00AM sharp and is open to all adults and teens who want to pressure-test their reactions and learn what really works under stress.It’s a great way to add depth to your Krav Maga training. Book your space on the app.
Teens Class – Do You Know a Teen Who Needs This?
Our Teens Krav Maga classes are growing, and feedback says it’s making a difference.If you’ve got a teenager at home – or know someone who does – this class gives them more than just self-defence. It builds:Confidence in themselves and their ability to handle pressure
Discipline and focus that carries over into school and life
Fitness and real-world skills they actually enjoy learning
Awareness so they can spot trouble and avoid it
A safe, social space with like-minded teens pushing themselvesThe teen years are tough. This gives them the tools to handle it better.Classes are structured around the adult syllabus but delivered in a way that suits their age and mindset.Know someone who’d benefit? Point them our way – first session is free.

Boxing Gloves Now Required for All Members
We have started stepping up the intensity in classes and adding more dynamic striking and controlled sparring. MMA gloves aren’t suitable for this – they don’t offer enough protection for you or your training partner.Here’s what you need:
If you weigh under 85kg: minimum 14oz gloves
If you weigh over 85kg: minimum 16oz gloves
Women only: if you weigh under 60kg minimum 12ozIf you’re not sure what to get or need help ordering, speak to us.
Private Training - FAST TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Want to sharpen specific techniques, boost your confidence, or prep for grading? Private sessions are a great way to get 1-to-1 coaching, work at your pace, and focus on exactly what you want to improve.Whether it’s striking, groundwork, weapons, or building fitness – it’s your time, your goals.Sessions are 45 minutes long and are £35. If you want to train with a partner it's an extra £10 per person (maximum of 4 people). If you want to know more, reach out to me or speak to me in class.
Member Spotlight – An offer from Teodora
I often hear teammates in the changing room mention injuries, pains, digestive or hormonal issues, or just feeling off - and every time, I think: I can help with that!You may not know but I’m a certified Kinesiologist trained with The Academy of Systematic Kinesiology. I’m currently completing the highest level of training, and I’d love to offer kinesiology sessions to the Krav Maga team - supporting everyone’s health while also completing my case studies.Kinesiology is a gentle yet powerful holistic therapy that uses muscle testing to identify and correct imbalances - physically, emotionally, and biochemically. It’s great for those who train hard, supporting recovery, relieving pain, enhancing performance, and preventing injury by addressing root causes rather than just symptoms.It can help with:
✔ Hormonal imbalances (incl. peri/menopause, prostate)
✔ Digestive issues & food sensitivities
✔ Stress, anxiety, fatigue & sleep issues
✔ Injuries & chronic pain (neck, back, joints)
✔ Jaw issues, posture & alignment
✔ Allergies, immune support & skin conditions
✔ Emotional well-being & self-esteem
…or simply recharging your energy and nervous system.My special offer for the Krav Maga community:
👉 £50 for a 60-minute session (30% off)
👉 £40 for a 90-minute session (as a case study - includes advanced techniques & requires more feedback)Availability:
