Since 2010, Israeli Martial Arts Academy Youth Programs have been part of Israeli Martial Arts Academy (IMAA), which has worked with students across Westlake Village, Los Angeles County, and Ventura County. The system taught in these youth programs combines elements of Krav Maga, Hisardut (Israeli Tactical Combat), Judo, Karate, and Jiu-Jitsu, and the training is described as modern “Street MMA” with every class grounded in real-world application. The youth programs are described as safe programs based on respect and discipline to improve self-confidence, self-control, and a sense of security. The academy’s training is described as intense, practical, and scalable for all fitness and experience levels, with specialized programs for kids, teens, and adults designed for every stage of development. The academy is described as more than a gym and as a tight-knit martial arts community built on integrity, respect, and personal growth, where instructors push students to become stronger without tearing them down. Israeli Martial Arts Academy (IMAA) is described as 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, and its mission is to teach students how to defend themselves in the most effective way possible.
