Krav Maga Experts Training & Self Defense Classes in New York City
KRAV MAGA EXPERTS
OUR TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
Krav Maga’s main focus is self-defense. The desired outcome is a “return to safety.” There are two main guidelines to follow:
Do everything in your power not to get hurt
Use your knowledge according to your needs
Krav Maga isn’t a set of techniques, but a principles-based system. Based on these principles, techniques and tactics were developed and are constantly updated. The techniques illustrated below are based on the “average ability” of humans.
The goal is to train each person according to their ability and their needs.
INTRODUCTORY NOTES
The techniques designated in each level reflect the necessity, difficulty, and performance level required. This curriculum aims to build self-defense skills & educate trainees on how to keep safe while holding realistic expectations of what they can and cannot do (yet) and what they should and should not do.
