Violence
vs. Force
What's the difference?
At Krav Maga Swindon, we believe real-world self-defence isn’t just about physical skills — it’s about understanding the legal and ethical boundaries of protecting yourself and others.
Violence
Violence is the illegal or unjustified use of force that causes harm without lawful reason. It’s a reaction driven by aggression, ego, or intent to hurt — not protection. Violence can lead to criminal charges and serious consequences.
Force
Force, in contrast, is lawful and justified when used to defend yourself or someone else from immediate danger. In the eyes of the law, force becomes acceptable the moment it is necessary and proportionate to the threat faced.
How Force Is Justified
When Force Is Justified
Force is considered justified when it is used to protect yourself or another person from an immediate and unlawful threat. Any action taken in self-defence must meet two key legal principles: necessity and proportionality.
Necessity means that force is used only when there is no reasonable alternative to prevent harm. The decision to act is based on what is genuinely believed at the time, under pressure, and in rapidly changing circumstances.
Proportionality means the level of force used must match the seriousness of the threat faced. The response should be enough to stop the danger and allow escape or safety, not to punish or seek revenge once the threat has ended.
Understanding Martial Arts

Martial Arts
This category focuses on tradition, history, and technical development. Training often includes forms, patterns, and structured techniques passed down through generations.
Examples include: Karate, Wing Chun, Silat, and Capoeira.
2
Combat Sports
Combat sports are competitive by nature and are trained for performance under rules and regulations. The focus is on athletic ability, timing, and winning within a sporting environment.
Examples include: Boxing, Muay Thai, MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, and Judo.
3
Self-Protection / Self-Defence
These systems are designed specifically for real-world situations. They combine techniques from multiple disciplines and adapt them to deal with realistic threats, stress, and unpredictable violence. The focus is on practicality, awareness, and personal safety rather than competition or tradition.
