Israeli Martial Arts Academy (IMAA) is the most authentic Israeli martial arts and Krav Maga school in the Conejo Valley, delivering elite, reality-based self-defense training for kids, teens, and adults. Since 2010, we have empowered students across Westlake Village, Los Angeles County, and Ventura County with real-world combat skills that build strength, confidence, and resilience.

​

Elite Krav Maga & Israeli Self-Defense Training

We live in a challenging era. Technology is advancing rapidly — yet physical capability, discipline, and resilience are declining. Training at IMAA directly counters that.

We build strong people.

Our system teaches effective Israeli hand-to-hand combat designed to prepare students for the harsh realities of 21st-century violence. Think of it as modern “Street MMA” — combining the most effective elements of:

Krav Maga, Hisardut (Israeli Tactical Combat), Judo, Karate and Jiu-Jitsu.

This integrated approach develops practical self-defense skills, mental toughness, and elite conditioning — without sport rules or unrealistic techniques.

​

Reality-Based Self-Defense for Real Life

Every class at IMAA is grounded in real-world application.

Students train in:

Krav Maga striking & counter-attack drills, Chokehold and grab defenses, Hip throws and takedowns, Knife and gun disarm techniques, Jiu-Jitsu pressure holds & ground survival, Functional bodyweight strength training integrated into every session.

Our training is intense, practical, and scalable for all fitness and experience levels.

​

Programs for Kids, Teens & Adults

We offer specialized programs designed for every stage of development:

Kids Martial Arts & Self-Defense, Teen Krav Maga & Confidence Building, Adult Self-Defense & Fitness Training

Each program develops awareness, discipline, confidence, and personal safety — on and off the mat.

​

More Than a Gym – A Strong Martial Arts Community

IMAA is more than a training facility.

We are a tight-knit martial arts community built on integrity, respect, and personal growth. Our instructors push students to become stronger — without ever tearing them down.

This commitment to excellence and character has earned recognition, including features in Black Belt Magazine.
