The 12 levels provide a progressive curriculum:

• Levels 1–4: Fundamentals – basic defense, awareness, strikes, and escapes

• Levels 5–8: Advanced – weapon defenses, multiple attackers, ground fighting, stress drills

No. Many elements of SAMI-X Krav Maga – including shadow drills, movement patterns, striking techniques, and conditioning – can be trained solo. Online courses are specifically designed for individual training. However, partner work and scenario training during live or in-person sessions significantly enhance your learning experience.

• system principles and technique methodology

• teaching didactics and class structure

The program is open to participants without previous instructor experience and combines online education with mandatory in-person certification seminars.

• Online courses & single videos: Access remains available as long as you have a valid account on the platform.

SAMI-X Krav Maga focuses on empty-hand self-defense and instinct-based reactions against physical attacks – punches, grabs, chokes, weapon threats, and ground situations.

SDS (Self Defense Stick Concept) specializes in the use of everyday objects and legal self-defense tools as force multipliers.

Both systems complement each other perfectly and can be trained independently or together within the SAMI-X ecosystem.

Krav Maga was devised to train even untrained individuals to a substantial proficiency of self-defense in a short span of time. It is accessible to everyone regardless of age or gender and various physical conditions.

Learning self-defense improves handling of aggression and self-confidence. Practitioners develop the ability to assess dangerous situations and react sensibly according to the situation. Studies show people who display self-confidence are less likely to be victims of violent crimes.

Krav Maga is a simple and at the same time highly efficient system of self-defense which is based on instinctive moves, practical techniques and realistic training scenarios. It is self-defense in its purest form — it's no martial art or sport. Training also improves fitness through unorthodox training methods.

Security Krav Maga addresses professional groups facing workplace violence. The roots of Security Krav Maga are both in the military and in the civilian field. It combines self-defense with teamwork, consideration of mission and laws, vocational field, third party protection, approach techniques, fixing and transporting techniques. Designed for security staff, bodyguards, police, and those handling difficult customers or patients.

Yes! Children need to have the chance for physical activity, to develop dexterity and flexibility and to develop a healthy dose of self-esteem and confidence. Training emphasizes coordination, balance and understanding of the body with age-oriented methods with a lot of fun.
