I love krav maga martial arts school – KMI in Tribeca. It is more than just a place to learn martial arts, it is a community of people who share a passion for self-improvement and empowerment. The classes are dynamic and engaging, and the instructors are knowledgeable and helpful. KMI has boosted my confidence, fitness, and self-defense abilities. You have to try it!!

I joined in 2018 and have had a great time training with the folks at KMI. I’d highly recommend the gym to anyone just starting in martial arts, or already experienced in combat sports and looking to augment their skills with new scenarios (multiple attackers, weapons, etc.).

KMI offers a welcoming community, no matter your age, size, or ability. Students are respectful and instructors foster an environment where everyone feels safe to learn, practice, and grow. I especially appreciate the evening hours as many of us work during the day, and it’s conveniently located for this commuting in. Highly recommend!

Joining KMI was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Not only do they offer a great deal price wise but the instructors and the community as a whole make this an experience I don’t think anyone interested in Krav Maga should miss out on. In addition, the instructors are all great and informative people and I always leave the classes learning something new and useful. I’ve been attending classes for a few months now and it’s safe to say I’m addicted. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

When I started back at the beginning of the year, I was in a bad place. Wrestling demons and health issues all while grieving the loss of a family member. KMI has helped me tremendously, both mentally and physically. All of the instructors are very knowledgeable, and no matter what background or situation you have, they get it and can help align your focus and transformation. Overall, it is a great place to learn self-defense among some truly amazing people. Highly recommend.

The teaching at KMI is some of the best out there for learning Krav Maga. The other students are incredibly nice and helpful and it is a gym where you can learn without feeling intimidated by other people’s egos. Overall a really wonderful experience to learn here.

I highly recommend training at Krav Maga Institute. I found KMI while searching for women’s self defense classes, which they offer alongside other excellent classes. Each and every instructor is exceptional – deeply knowledgeable, dedicated, and available to assist and answer questions. The instructors foster a supportive space for beginners and experienced students alike, classes are challenging and fun. I’ve learned a lot in a short period of time, and I’m excited to continue growing.

Highly recommend KMI. I joined back in 2018 in search of a way to keep fit while learning a new and useful skill set. KMI certainly delivered. I enjoyed the physical and mental challenge Krav Maga presented and have been a member ever since. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and friendly. They are always happy to answer questions and I ask a lot. There are plenty of classes for whatever your skill level is and the training facility is top notch. I try to go a few times a week. If you happen to catch me, and ask nicely, I’d be happy to attack you if you’d like to practice a new technique you’ve learned.

After training at other schools in Krav Maga, I fell in love with the community at KMI and its adherence to the principles of Krav Maga. Learn street awareness and combat, knife defense, deescalation – basically self determination in violent encounters. We learn from each other, push each other, and inspire each other to do … just one more!

Nothing beats the feeling of walking down the street with the most powerful weapons of all: courage, grit, and confidence. At KMI the training is not only superb and effective, but outrageously fun and a killer workout! The students have created such a wonderfully inclusive community. The instructors show compassion, empathy, and immense knowledge. And the takeaways are priceless. You won’t be the same after a class or three. I love the Krav Maga Institute!

I have been taking women’s self-defense classes at the Krav Maga Institute in TriBeCa for a few years now and I am very impressed with the quality of instruction and the intensity of the workouts. They teach practical and realistic techniques that can help women protect themselves in various situations. I highly recommend the Krav Maga Institute to anyone who wants to learn self-defense, get in shape, and have fun. It is the best Krav Maga school in NYC for women’s self-defense.

I joined KMI a few years ago. Both the classes and the people who train here are the best. I am now physically and mentally fitter than ever. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this gym and community! I started off by taking an induction class where I learned a few basics and what the class structure would simulate. Next thing you know, I worked hard to pass my P1 exam with my peers. In this gym, you learn civilian style self defense and they work you both mentally and physically. The coaches are amazing, very patient, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend joining this gym.

KMI is a stellar self-defense institution, with instructors hailing from all forms of martial art disciplines. If you’re looking to simply just increase awareness levels to becoming a master martial arts practitioner, KMI is the place to be!

After several months of training, my overall experience at the Krav Maga Institute (KMI) has been great. KMI has several accessible locations, highly competent instructors, and a welcoming community of students. I have just signed up for an annual membership following a 10-class trial with a Groupon, and I would strongly recommend KMI to all without any hesitation.

Some people train to look good, we train to kick ass. I joined The Krav Maga Institute almost a year ago after a scary incident while jogging in Prospect Park. Krav Maga is the best, most practical and realistic self-defense system and after a month of it, I was hooked. You’re going to gain a peace of mind. You will be challenged but you’ll feel stronger and more confident because of it. You will also make some really badass friends. As I’m coming up on my one-year mark, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I can’t wait to see where my Krav Maga journey will take me.

In addition to having great instructors, the students are also very friendly and supportive (although not so much that you won’t still leave the classes bruised and sore). Price-wise the memberships are pretty affordable, especially given that you can attend an unlimited number of classes at their different locations (cheaper than a lot of other martial arts or yoga classes I’ve seen, probably on par with a high end gym membership).

I had heard about Krav Maga in the past and after doing some research I found Krav Maga Institute. A few reasons I narrowed it down to this particular academy are their availability of classes throughout the week, it is affordable and their locations. If you’re looking for an academy that will teach you solid self-defense techniques, give you good workout along with a great community to boot, then sign up for the Induction class and experience it for yourself.

Very friendly, absolutely welcoming. I was only travelling, looking for a place in New York to pop in a Krav Maga lesson and it was good. Will be back.

I’ve been training at KMI for two years now, and it’s been such a rewarding experience. The coaches are amazing–they really know their stuff and they’re very approachable and genuinely care about helping you improve. The classes are always challenging but fun, and the atmosphere is really supportive. Everyone, from the coaches to the students, creates this great sense of community, which makes coming to class something I always look forward to. I’ve learned so much here, and I can’t recommend it enough!

I have been going to this school for 8-9 months now and I absolutely love everything about it. The instructors are very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. They have created a safe learning environment where you can learn self defense, a skill that I believe is crucial for living in NYC and feeling safe. I honestly couldn’t recommend this school more, if you are looking for self defense classes that are fun and effective, then look no further!

I’ve been a member of KMI for a year and I’m hooked for good. I’ve always wanted a realistic method for self-defense that you can benefit from immediately – krav maga is it, and KMI makes it a true pleasure to train. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and patient and the classes are an ideal mix of strength training and technique practice. I highly recommend the school to anyone who is interested in krav maga – whether you are new to martial arts or whether you’d like to try something different that will work on the street.

I had heard about Krav Maga and decided to purchase a groupon for Krav Maga Institute. I’ve learned so much and met so many great people in my 2 1/2 years now training with them. The instructors are first rate and passionate about teaching and are friendly and approachable as well. If you want to learn how to defend yourself practically in a laid back environment that’s about learning I highly recommend KMI.

I would definitely commit myself to this in the next couple of years. I wish I had found out about this sooner.
