Krav Maga New York Offers Martial Arts Classes for Men, Women and Kids 7-Days a Week.

A Martial arts classes vary in style are nowadays are available in almost every community, but in Somers, a form of martial arts known as Krav Maga aims to make everyday people safe and fit.

Unlike Mixed Martial Arts, Boxing, Wrestling, BJJ, or other forms of rule-based competition, Krav Maga is designed for real world situations where rules simply do not apply.

Renowned worldwide as one of the most effective methods for self-defense, Krav Maga teaches practitioners how best to neutralize attacks and escape unharmed.

Those who participate in Krav Maga based martial arts classes are taught to manage situations where losing is not an option. Attack and defense maneuvers aim to neutralize the threat and facilitate rapid and safe escape. And because the defenses are instinctive, they’re easy to learn, easy to retain, and can be replicated under stress.

Students learn strikes such as punches, kicks, knees, and elbows, and learn defenses against common attacks such as chokes, grabs, and bear hugs. Just as important, the instructors teach students to function safely during the stress and shock of a sudden attack by incorporating drills that aim to replicate real encounters.

Classes for levels beginner through Black Belt run every day, on weeknights and weekends.  For a schedule, click here.

Although Krav Maga is a belted system, the promulgation and distribution of belts is not the primary goal. Krav Maga is about street survival, the real thing, and for many students and Instructors, very personal.

“We help our members manage threat,” said Davide Gristina, Chief Instructor at KMNY. “It’s simulation training. We provide a threat stimulus, and participants get a first hand experience in perceiving it, understanding it, and responding to it. This process builds confidence and increases response time. More importantly though, the process relieves anxiety and calms the soul.”
