New training center in Los Angeles:
Learn Krav Maga for self defense…
and get your body in top condition with our CrossFit fitness workouts


Another day at the office....

Krav Maga - Israeli Martial Art

Krav Maga is the official defensive tactics system of the Israeli Defense Force. Their soldiers are men and women aged 18 to 51, so their fighting system focuses on techniques that are:

  • Based on instinctive movements, so they are easy to learn and easy to remember under stress
  • Not dependent on size, strength, or special physical ability, so Krav Maga techniques can be used effectively by men and women of all ages

Focus was founded by three experts in Krav Maga, and includes some of the best-known Krav Maga instructors in the world. Together, we have trained thousands of civilians, military, and law enforcement personnel. At Focus, you will be trained by some of the most experienced Krav Maga instructors anywhere!

CrossFit Fitness Training

Our main program is CrossFit, a functional fitness program that features high intensity workouts, scalable to your abilities. No treadmills, no weight machines, no step aerobics. If you want to read a magazine while you work out, we are not the place for you. We believe in workouts that include functional movement at high intensity with constant variety. CrossFit is the preferred conditioning program for law enforcement, fire departments, and military units across the United States...and because your needs vary from theirs only in degree, it will work for you, too.

Focus Athletics also includes:

  • Kickboxing
  • Kettlebells
  • Plyometrics
  • Resistance/weight training
  • Flexibility and Yoga
