Self-Defense Classes for Kids

At Krav Maga New York in Somers, New York, we help kids build remarkable confidence and resilience with practical, life-saving skills that last a lifetime. Most children—and their parents—never imagine needing self-defense. Instead, they're thinking about school projects, playdates, and tomorrow’s soccer game. Which is okay. I respect that. But life can change in an instant.

Picture this: Your child is walking home from the bus, thinking about what they're going to snack on when they pop their shoes off, when a stranger suddenly steps in front of them—a towering, intimidating figure with a menacing grip. Their heart pounds. Their small frame feels fragile as panic rises like a tidal wave.

How would your child respond? Freeze? Scream? What if there’s no one around to help? The thought alone is unbearable—but it's a scenario no parent should dismiss as “impossible.”

Now, picture this instead: Your child stands tall, instincts firing like clockwork. They know how to break the grip, create distance, and sprint to safety. Their pulse steadies, fueled by the confidence that comes with preparation.

Give your child the gift of empowerment. Self-defense isn’t just about knowing how to fight—it’s about knowing how to stay safe, calm, and in control when it matters most. Leave the "What if's" in the past. Rest easy knowing they have vital skills that most children don't. Prepare them today.
