Beginner Krav Maga Classes (Arlington, Massachusetts)
We teach Krav Maga according to the method/process that is dictated by the Wingate Institute in Israel (this is the governing body of all sports and physical activities that are practiced within Israel). Many people think of Krav Maga as a selection of techniques and physical solutions, however there is a proven teaching methodology which ensures that Krav Maga is taught in a way that is efficient and productive. Simply practicing Krav Maga “techniques” isn’t the same as practicing Krav Maga. Unfortunately, due to the increase in popularity of the approach/system many martial arts schools teaching arts, such as Tae-Kwon-Do, Kenpo, and Karate, have added Krav Maga programs, that see instructors from other martial arts teach what they believe is Krav Maga out of a book etc., or attend two-to-three-day Krav Maga instructor courses with organizations that are attempting to cash in on the name “Krav Maga”. Krav Maga Yashir, Head Instructor, completed/passed the IKMF (International Krav Maga Federation) 29-day instructor course having practiced Krav Maga over ten years. Our beginner Krav Maga class is an opportunity to not only experience Krav Maga firsthand but see some of the system’s training methods and methodology demonstrated and explained.
Our 60-minute beginners/introductory class introduces attendees to the concepts and principles upon which the approach/method is founded. Krav Maga is a continually evolving system which over time changes some of its techniques and solutions because more effective ones are developed, or it becomes apparent that there are ways of simplifying the system and reducing its syllabus etc. In this class you will be introduced to some of these ideas, and how they are physically employed e.g., using a principle such as “nearest weapon, nearest target” etc., you will immediately have a strategy for dealing with any threat or attack; all you need to be able to do is recognize what a “weapon” is along with what is an available “target” etc. This is the way that authentic Israeli Krav Maga is trained and practiced i.e., everything starts and comes back to the concepts and principles etc.
As well as teaching a variety of defenses against different threats and attacks through the use of these fighting ideas, concepts, and principles etc., attendees will also learn how to punch and strike with power utilizing body weight and movement rather than just strength and athleticism, as well as how to work and use a variety of pads and focus mitts, safely and in a productive fashion. After completing this class/seminar attendees will have the skills and knowledge to hit our regular adult Krav Maga classes running.
