Krav Maga Institute NYC

• Self defense school
• Boxing gym
• Martial arts school

"After witnessing one too many instances on the train where situations got escalated or could have been de-escalated, I decided it time to do a more self-defense style martial art. Keep in mind I've had years of prior martial arts experience (5+ years combined boxing, kickboxing, etc) and even then I felt that wasn't enough in situations outside of the ring. 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. I took the Induction class and from then I was hooked. There's a great community at the academy, the instructors are very supportive and break things down in simple steps, a diverse range of levels in each class, and they do special events/seminars bringing outside experts to the academy. 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."

"For about 8 months I've been training consistently at Krav Maga Institute NYC and it has been the best decision I've ever made. I've become more confident in my skills to protect myself in the streets and I owe it to the great instructors of KMI, I feel more fearless. They're always there to answer any questions you have and are always pushing you to keep going when you feel like giving up. The students are also great and friendly and we're always pushing each other to do better. The instructors are always changing up the workouts to keep things interesting and fun. Krav Maga has changed my life for the better, I feel stronger and more energetic. So if you're looking to learn Krav Maga, Krav Maga Institute NYC is your best bet and it should be your first and last chose. You won't regret it."

"I have attended several Krav Maga classes through the Krav Maga Institute and have really enjoyed them. The classes are a fabulous workout and I am always happy about how much the classes work my body. Not to mention learning self defense moves is pretty cool! The instructors are all super positive and encouraging and I always leave class in a good mood. I also like that the warm-ups are related to the Krav Maga moves in the second half of the class.With my busy schedule it's convenient that there are several locations.Overall I've really enjoyed the classes because I not only get a good workout but also end up feeling safer on NYC streets. I recommend the Krav Maga Institute to all my friends."

"After trying out three other Krav Maga schools in NY, I found Krav Maga Institute NYC (IKMF) to be the best with it's wide range of students and instructors. The techniques taught in class are up to date, the facilities are clean and modern, and the instructors are helpful, supportive, and they don't make me feel stupid if I'm slow learning something new in class. As for the locations, my favorite is the upper west side since it is closer to home and usually not to many people in the changing room. My least favorite is the midtown location since the locker/changing room facilities are small and limited."

"I've trained at several Krav Maga schools in the last three years, and KMI is definitely the best. The classes are fun, and the format makes it easy to learn. More time is spent on learning technique than other schools I've been to (versus focusing on fitness), so you get better, faster. But KMI is really about the instructors. They're all amazing, and challenge you every day. Most importantly, they love teaching Krav, and really want you to learn. I organizations are all about people, and I can't recommend this crowd enough."
