General Terms

  • Krav Maga training is potentially dangerous, and all activities undertaken with Pentagon Krav Maga are at the student's own risk.

  • As with all martial arts, there is a moderate risk of minor injury due to the physical, high-contact nature of Krav Maga training (cuts, bruises, strains & sprains, etc). There is also an emotional risk as some of the training occasionally seeks to induce physical and psychological stress in order to enhance realism, including offensive language and other displays of aggressive behaviour. By training with Pentagon Krav Maga, the student acknowledges and accepts these risks.

  • The instructor is responsible for the safety of the class, and reserves the right to dismiss a student from the class at any time, without refunds, should the student be deemed a danger to themselves or others. Whether a student is welcomed back to the class following such an event is entirely at the instructor's discretion. The instructor also retains complete discretion over whether to refuse a student from training, if it is felt that they present an unacceptable safety risk to the rest of the class.

  • The student will complete a medical declaration before starting training with Pentagon Krav Maga. Furthermore, the student is responsible for alerting the instructor to any new injuries or medical conditions that may affect their safety-in-training before the class starts.

  • Due to the risks inherent in Krav Maga training, Pentagon Krav Maga strongly advises against training while pregnant, and will not accept any liability for problems that may arise from ignoring this recommendation.

  • The student must have no unspent criminal convictions for violence.

  • As stipulated by the IKMF (International Krav Maga Federation), the student must not be an enemy of the State of Israel. This includes but is not limited to membership of organisations that do not acknowledge Israel's unconditional right to exist, or seek to delegitimise the State.

  • The student is required use both a mouth guard and groin guard in training (note: insurance cover for dental injury is contingent on mouth guards being used). Pentagon Krav Maga offers both - of reputable brand - for sale upon request. Pentagon Krav Maga accepts no liability for any harm resulting from the student’s failure to use the minimum required protective equipment.

  • Pentagon Krav Maga will provide all other required pads, gloves etc, though students are welcome to bring their own equipment if they wish. It is recommended for hygiene reasons that students at least acquire their own gloves. Pentagon Krav Maga will not be held liable for any harm that may arise from the use of equipment not provided by Pentagon Krav Maga.

  • The student will register for membership of the International Krav Maga Federation (IKMF) via kravmaga-ikmf.co.uk once they have started training with Pentagon Krav Maga. This is required to insure the student against personal and third-party injury, as well as for gradings and other events. The student will not be insured until they join the IKMF. IKMF membership is not managed by or the responsibility of Pentagon Krav Maga in any way, and Pentagon Krav Maga will not be held liable for any losses resulting from a student failing to register with the IKMF. The price for IKMF membership is currently £35 per annum.

  • Membership of Pentagon Krav Maga is non-exclusive; that is to say, students are free to train at other Krav Maga / martial arts clubs if they wish (subject to any restrictions at these third-party clubs).

Membership Terms

  • Classes with Pentagon Krav Maga are paid for on a monthly membership subscription basis, either:

    Standard (one class a week) at £45 per month or…

    Unlimited at £70 per month.

    In special circumstances, students may be permitted to train on a 'pay as you go' (PAYG) basis at £16 per session, upon discussion with the Head Instructor.

  • Members may train at any of Pentagon Krav Maga’s classes, as appropriate to their age: adult classes are for ages 16+, and Juniors classes for ages 11 to 15 inclusive (a waiver may be granted for 10-year-olds who are in School Year 6, upon discussion with the Head Instructor).

  • Memberships are paid in advance, on the 1st of every month. That is to say, a payment made on say March 1st covers the student’s membership for the month of March. The student may stop and/or resume training with Pentagon Krav Maga at any time without penalty, though any subscriptions paid for the month will not be refunded. Note that Pentagon Krav Maga assumes a 4-week month, giving 48 training weeks in a year. This allows for periods of instructor unavailability.

  • Members joining in the middle of the month will have the first month’s membership prorated to the nearest whole week - this will be taken as a one-off payment, with the subscription starting as normal the following month.

  • Session allowances for ‘Standard’ members renew every 4 weeks. These members are at liberty to train multiple times a week as suit their circumstances (for example, if they know they will be away on a certain week, they can train twice the week after to make up for the absence). The PAYG rate will be applied for sessions exceeding the monthly allowance of classes.

  • All payments are collected using GoCardless, monthly memberships as a standard direct debit, and one-off payments as needed, taken every Wednesday. The set-up of the direct debit will be completed before or at a student's first class (excluding Introductory Courses and Classes), using this link (click here). By agreeing to these terms, the student authorises Pentagon Krav Maga to take payments as needed. Note that due to GoCardless’s system, payments may take up to two weeks to leave your account; this is outside of Pentagon Krav Maga’s control.

  • Private classes, including times and locations, are arranged on a case-by-case basis via correspondence with the instructor. Prices for private sessions start at £50 / hour. The student may also block-book 4 hours for £160. Up to two (2) people may be taught in one private class. Private sessions for more people, or that require significant travel for the instructor (more than 30 minutes drive from Desborough, Northants) will incur additional charges. Additional participants are charged at £10 per person. Any venue hire costs incurred by Pentagon Krav Maga will be passed onto the student, additional to the base fees given above.

  • A non-refundable 50% deposit is payable immediately upon booking a private class (£25 for a single session, £80 for a block-of-four); the session will not be confirmed until this deposit is received. The balance of the session will be taken after the session - in the case of a block-booking, each session will have a separate balance payment taken (£20 per). No-shows will be liable for the full cost of the session.

  • These terms and conditions are correct as of 01/01/2025, and supersede any previous versions.
