Krav Maga is an Israeli martial art considered the world’s most complete and effective reality-based self-defense system.
We believe Krav Maga is the best tool New York adults can use to protect themselves.
It draws on several other disciplines, like boxing, Muay Thai, and wrestling, to give you a reliable and realistic tool for protection.
It was first developed in the late 1930s by Hungarian-born athlete Imrich Lichtenfield and was later used to train the Israeli Defense Forces in the 1940s.
The words “Krav Maga” means “contact/close combat” in Hebrew.

For adults with average fitness who train twice a week, we expect at least 48 months to reach a black belt.
There’s a constant progression in each lesson, so you’ll always feel like you’re moving towards your goals.

Of course! Krav Maga, and martial arts in general, aren’t just for kids and teens to learn as a sport.
Krav Maga is an amazing tool to teach adults self-defense, whether you’re 30, 40, or even 70.
Many of our expert instructors started learning Krav Maga as an adult.
Krav Maga is designed to be accessible to people of various fitness levels, and it’s more about practical self-defense techniques than strict physical conditioning.
