Adult Self-Defense + Fitness
At Krav Maga New York, we equip everyday people from all walks of life with practical, life changing skills. You'll find out quickly how even the most basic self-defense knowledge will lead to radiating confidence in every aspect of your life. Unfortunately, for the most part, people think longer about a Starbucks order than they do about the benefits of self-defense. But how would you react if you were targeted on your way to work, or on the subway, or anywhere else. For the unprepared, there is a lag in response time and that lags is not favorable.
Survey 100 people that managed to survive an unpredictable, chaotic, violent situation, and ask them: "If you could go back in time a year before it happened, would you have taken self-defense classes"? Not a single person would say no.
Do you want to be in the top 0.1% that doesn't look away from the brutal reality of life? The top 0.1% of self confidence and upper echelon of preparedness?
Picture this: you're walking to your car after a late evening, the cool night air brushing against your skin. Suddenly, an arm is wrapped around your neck from behind - tight, unyielding, and unrelenting, dragging you away. You can feel the crushing pressure against your windpipe, your breath strangled before you even realize what’s happening.
Your pulse pounds in your ears. You try to move, but you can't, and you're not sure how to respond. Your mind races for an answer, but it finds no point of reference because you've never experienced this before.
Now picture a different scenario: Instead of freezing, your instincts kick in. You know what works and what doesn't. You fight back because you know that hold. You've practiced it in class 1,000 times, and you know what to do. Your attacker never expected a fierce, well executed response, and you break free.
Self-defense isn’t just a skill to deploy under threat of violence. It's also peace of mind - knowing that you can assess danger quickly and can respond to it with speed and prowess, is a relief - because there's nothing worse than realizing that you know ABSOLUTELY nothing about self-defense.
You owe it to yourself to feel empowered and prepared for the unexpected. You'll fear less and you'll walk in peace.
