Self-defence
Self-defence training with Krav Generation draws on techniques from a wide range of martial arts, such as judo and kickboxing, as well as Krav Maga and combative training. Importantly, our classes aren’t just about being able to effectively execute moves to protect yourself. We aim to help develop the whole person, because self-confidence and self-belief are an integral part of every individual’s self-defence skillset.
We don’t create fighters. At Krav Generation we instil in our students the discipline to avoid physical confrontation unless a situation absolutely demands it. We teach students to:
• Be aware of potentially threatening situations
• Understand verbal and non-verbal communication
• De-escalate threatening situations
• Defend against all types of attack
• Use controlled aggression
• React and respond instinctively under stress
• Target vulnerable points on an attacker’s body
• Use all types of weapons as a means of self-defence
Why learn self-defence?
The world we live in is an amazing place but, equally, it can often feel dangerous, with knife crime and attacks on the streets ever present in the news. For anyone who has ever experienced some kind of attack, be it physical or verbal, life can change significantly. Often, people don’t know how to deal with confrontation, they may dismiss it, do nothing and stay quiet. This has a disastrous effect on a person’s mental health – fear has a habit of growing and fear of what may happen can take over one’s life.
At Krav Generation we teach you confidence, empowerment, situational awareness, de-escalation, determination and, of course, self-defence. We help people understand weapons and how to defend against them. We use scenario-based training to give a sense of reality when teaching self-defence techniques – it’s what sets us apart.
Remember, it’s better to know self-defence and not need to use it, than to need it and not know it – why not book a free trial session!
Self-defence for kids
Not only do we equip our younger members with self defence skills and strategies, we help them grow in so many other ways that will prove invaluable throughout life.
Self-defence training helps children and young people develop:
- the courage to say no and recognise situational dangers
- the knowledge and confidence to avoid and stand up to bullying
- discipline to walk away from trouble
- physical coordination to react quickly, defend and escape
- commitment and endurance to never give up
- greater self-confidence and pride in their achievements.
At Krav Generation we train in a fun and fully inclusive environment. As well as learning self-defence your child will make new friends and become part of a supportive community.
We currently run group classes for different age groups at Jubilee High School every Wednesday and at Esher Rugby Club every Thursday. Private classes are also available. Please contact us to book or for more information.
About Krav Generation
Krav Generation was set up by Laura Doyle LLB (Hons), a qualified instructor of self-defence and mixed martial arts for adults and children, KIC accredited children’s instructor, UKAMA instructor and a certified instructor with British Combat Association and IKMF. Krav Generation currently runs classes in Addlestone, Cobham, Esher and Staines, with Leatherhead coming soon.
Laura’s interest in self-defence is firmly rooted in a personal experience. Finding herself caught up in a firearms incident in a public place, Laura took it upon herself to take control of the situation. Using judo moves she’d learnt as a teenager, she successfully disarmed the gunman and restrained him until the police arrived. Following that experience, Laura became an accomplished student of kickboxing, Wing Chun, Ken Shin Kai and weapons-based combat. Her discovery of Krav Maga, a system based on natural instincts and reactions provided yet another set of skills and knowledge – it didn’t matter that she was female, it didn’t matter that she was small, every technique could be refined to make what she did very effective, even when challenged by people much bigger than her.
As a certified life coach, Laura has a passion for empowering others. She helps people take control of their lives, grow in confidence, build resilience and inner strength, giving them the tools to react to challenges and excel in the face of adversity. Integrating life coaching with her knowledge of self-defence has given Laura the opportunity to work all over the world. Her experience ranges from training police officers, close protection staff, VIPs and people travelling into ‘danger zones’ to delivering workshops, bespoke classes and seminars to charities, businesses, schools, colleges and universities, along with working with a variety of Surrey-based organisations and supporting young students to achieve their DofE awards.
Today, Laura offers a fun and friendly environment in which students can feel comfortable and secure in their learning. Krav Maga self-defence, combative training and mixed martial arts are integral to Krav Generation, but classes are adapted to meet the needs of individual students to ensure learning is accessible to everyone. Training also incorporates reasonable force instruction, personal safety training, situational awareness and de-escalation training. Laura’s own ongoing personal and professional development in self-defence and fitness means new practices and teachings are quickly integrated into classes.
Along with her qualifications as an instructor, Laura has:
- Home Office certification
- SIA accreditation in conflict management, de-escalation, communication and negotiation, personal safety training, physical intervention
- Non-verbal communication training
- CNP weapons training
- National Martial Arts accreditation
- Ken Shin Kai accreditation
- UKAMA accreditation
She is Enhanced DBS-checked and has completed courses in Safeguarding Children Level 2 and Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults. She also holds Martial Arts First Aid Level 2 and Non-Verbal certification.
Covering all activities as a martial arts instructor, Laura has both public liability and professional indemnity insurance.

Not at all! Krav Generation is a friendly and welcoming club, with an ethos focused on empowering people. We care about our students’ wellbeing and we want you to feel safe and secure at all times.
Fitness has no impact on your ability to learn self-defence with Krav Generation. Your stamina and fitness will develop over time and it will be achieved at your pace. You are not in competition with anyone but yourself.
We start with a warm-up, review the techniques learnt during the previous session and then move on to new techniques. The technique is then applied during a final summary drill when you’ll be asked to react to an attack based on what you’ve learnt – this helps gain the muscle memory for that technique. It sounds serious but you will find yourself having fun.
No. Krav Generation classes are accessible to anyone and everyone. You can learn at any stage in your life and without any martial arts knowledge. We teach techniques that harness natural responses to attack and help you develop effective response skills.
