Krav Maga in Norway
Krav Maga is an Israeli self-defence system built to end a situation quickly rather than to compete in one. Training is scenario-based, and there is no grading shared across the different organisations.
7 clubs across 5 Norwegian towns have krav maga on the schedule. All of them say so on their own pages — none are inferred. The clubs that publish a price sit at 2200 kr a month.
Where you can train it
About the sport: Krav Maga
What an ordinary class looks like
Training is scenario-based: escaping grabs, defending strikes, and getting away. The pace is high and the techniques few and simple, because they have to work when you are stressed.
No shared grading
Krav Maga is not one federation but several organisations, each with its own syllabus and grading. Quality therefore depends on the instructor more than on the name on the wall. Ask about the instructor's background, and take a trial class before you commit.

Addresses and prices are read automatically off the clubs' websites, and the organisation number is matched automatically against the Norwegian company register. All of it may be wrong, outdated, for a different class (kids, student, family), or for a different legal entity than the one running the training. The price is usually an adult membership, excluding joining fees and licences. If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it.
Questions about Krav Maga
Is Krav Maga a martial art or self-defence?
Self-defence. There is no competitive format, and the syllabus is built to end a situation and get away.
How do I know the instructor is qualified?
Ask which organisation the club belongs to and what grade the instructor holds there. Krav Maga has no shared Norwegian grading, so affiliation is what you have to go on.
Do I need a martial arts background?
No. The courses are designed for people without one. With a boxing or grappling background the first months go faster.
