Description

Specialties

Our training comes directly from Israel. We teach krav maga in the fighting system’s most modern evolution.

We belong to Israeli krav maga founder Imi Lichtenfeld’s original and longest standing organization, the Israeli Krav Maga Association (Gidon Fighting System). The IKMA is recognized by the Israeli government as the authority for krav maga. We have sponsored krav maga courses and instructor certification programs since 1978.

Grandmaster Haim Gidon, krav maga founder Imi Lichtenfeld’s chosen successor at 10^th dan, oversees all aspects of the Israeli training curriculum

We offer krav maga classes, seminars, and instructor certification in the United States, Israel, and around the world.

I signed up for the women’s self-defense class on ClassPass, and was pretty nervous since I haven’t had any martial arts training. How much could I possibly learn in one class? Turns out: A LOT.
Within 10 minutes I had learned how to seriously injure the arm of someone trying to rape me and successfully roll myself backwards away from danger. These guys don’t mess around, but it’s a surprisingly welcoming, supportive environment. The women’s class is practicing at the same time as the regular Krav Maga class, and the more experienced practitioners were happy to help us newbies with tips. We were even invited to stay as long as we wanted to keep practicing, which was awesome.
TLDR: every woman should take this class. If I lived in NYC I’d be here every week.

I started taking classes at Krav New York through a Groupon deal I bought, and it’s truly an amazing the studio. I’ve never done any martial arts or fighting of any kind but regardless of the class I took, I always found it easy to keep up in class. I’ve only taken classes with Dave who he’s incredible. Regardless of your skill level, Dave takes the time to show you how everything is done and then sets you loose to practice it all.
I wasn’t expecting the classes to be such a good workout, but they’re physically challenging and aerobic in the best way. After my first class last week I was sore for almost the entire week. Like the other reviewer mentioned, the facility is really nice and features a big open studio, bathrooms, showers, locker room, and if you join full time, a gym w/ellipticals, free weights, etc.
I would definitely recommend getting a deal if you can so you can try out the classes because I have a feeling you’ll be hooked in no time…

These guys run a legit shop. The instructors know their stuff and are personable. They have a nice class schedule which keeps things interesting. On Mon and Wed, they have Krav 1 and Krav 2 after work. On Tues they have a pad training and conditioning class, followed by Krav 1. On Thursdays they have open sparring where you can show up and beat the piss out of each other, while focusing on the techniques you learned that week. All the classes are followed up by a cooldown stretch and yoga session.
The facility is pretty new and has everything you need. They have a locker room with some lockers, a small weight room which gets the job done, punching bags, and the regular pads and practice gear like fake guns and knives. They also have one shower which gets used by guys with hot dates after class, but you have to bring your own soap and towels and stuff obviously.
They also run belt tests also a couple times a year if you think you can handle the abuse.
