Our beginner Krav Maga classes are designed to get those who have not trained in the Krav Maga Yashir system before, ready for regular classes. This 60-minute beginner class, which is suitable for both men and women ages 18+ introduces participants to what the Krav Maga approach to fighting actually is. Krav Maga is a framework of concepts and heuristics which allows for techniques to evolve and change, and new techniques created that adhere to a common methodology. It is incorrect to think of Krav Maga as simply being a collection of the “best” techniques from other martial arts etc., rather techniques are developed according to a set of concepts and principles that ensure that a new or evolved technique can fit into the systematic approach that Krav Maga takes. Participants are also introduced to the way that drills and training methods are presented. There are some who believe that Krav Maga is simply about its techniques however it is taught in a particular way that encourages practitioners to quickly become proficient in the solutions they are taught.

The 60-minute class largely follows the structure of our regular classes, however more time is given to introducing and explaining some of the training methods we use – this means that in our regular Krav Maga classes time doesn’t have to be given to doing this. In this class participants will learn how to use focus mitts safely and properly so that themselves and the individuals they work with, both in the beginner class and regular Krav Maga classes have a productive experience. Participants will be taught the fundamental blocks and strikes/punches that Krav Maga uses, and how the body is used to generate maximum power when striking. Nobody is expected to “master” these things in one class but having had these things broken down and explained they will be able to understand what an instructor teaching a regular class is meaning when they give instruction in these things.
The class is suitable for men and women ages 18+, and is a practical, hands-on class i.e., you will make contact with other people. Although it’s not a high intensity workout, as it is largely instructional you will be required to move around, working at a low-level aerobic rate. You will be training barefoot (no socks), as our studio is equipped with Zebra mats that are incompatible with sneakers/shoes. The cost for this 60-minute class is $25. If after completing the class you become a member of the school within two weeks you will receive Gershon Ben Keren’s first two books for free. These beginner classes are held at the address below and there is free on-site parking. To register use the form below.
