Great work Davide. I’m proud to be one of your students… Keep up the great work. You are building more then students…you are building a Krav Maga “family”
I had a great time in class on Saturday. I was happily surprised to see Ed as the instructor. I have known him for over 25 years. He did an excellent job. The class was individually the best I have ever had. That is not an exaggeration. I’ve had hundreds of hours in defensive tactics from organizations ranging from the Army to the State Police. In one hour, I felt that I got more real life practical training than in all the previous courses. I’m looking forward to the next sessions.
I love the spirit you’ve infused into your school in the time I’ve been away. You’ve recaptured the enthusiasm and camaraderie that I remember from way back. Maybe even raised it up a notch.
Hi Luna, I Just got back from my first class. I was so impressed with the class. Davide’s teaching style is excellent, the people made me feel so welcome and I am completely surprised at how much I learned in one lesson. I am looking forward to a long journey with Krav Maga. Maybe you could pass this along to Davide
This was by far the best course that I attended this year. The instructors were knowledgeable and proficient. The level of training was appropriate. As an instructor myself, I recognized and appreciated the instructors working with the different levels in the class and providing benefits to all the students. Ground fighting is underrated in many Police DT programs. I feel that they should definitely be brought back next year and maybe even expand more into stand up fighting.
Honestly, and if you are a woman reading this, you can understand when I say, there was no machismo from these instructors. It is one thing to be able to teach a technique to someone, but to teach it in a way that makes the person feel empowered, is another thing. This is especially so when men are teaching women. It was obvious that Davide and the Major respect women and love teaching. I could feel how much they wanted us to learn from them, so that we could defend ourselves. They were enthusiastic, and really geared the class towards the needs of the group. They were able to teach the techniques in a way that allowed us all to feel good about our abilities. They answered every question with thought and consideration.
Davide, I want you to know that I will carry what you tough me (in many ways) with me until I am dust,,, I want to thank you for being in the top 4 teachers that have influenced me in such a positive way in my life to date…. you are special….
It was such a positive atmosphere in class last night. People felt so good and the Instructors were great. So many people were expressing that yesterday. You should know that you have done a great job and your students are very happy
It only takes one person to change the way Law Enforcement trains and in this area Davide is that one person.
Davide & Major are fantastic teachers. Their class was both motivating and useful. Their clear love of what they do shines through. They want to empower women and their message is clear. No one is a victim and we all , big or small, have the strength to fight back and take care of ourselves. I only wish they were closer logistically and continue their brilliant teaching here in Ulster County. If I could, I would recommend every person, male or female, to learn more about self defense, We all Have the power!!!!!
