Krav Maga in Boston

Free Women's Self Defense Classes in Boston. Every Saturday Morning 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Krav Maga is the name given to various systems of self-defense that have been developed and are used by the Israeli Military (IDF). All of these systems have one thing in common: to get an untrained soldier to be able to defend themselves in hand-to-hand combat in the shortest possible time. It should be noted that everybody does National Service in Israel and so any system of self-defense has to work regardless of a person’s size or strength. This makes the system ideal to teach to women – who also do National Service.

The system of Krav Maga that we teach at our Boston school is known as Krav Maga Yashir. Directly translated from Hebrew this means, “Direct Contact/Close Combat”. Our system is direct and to the point using instinctive and efficient movements, meaning it is both effective and easy to recall under the high stress and emotion of a real-life conflict.

It is also a truly comprehensive system in that it teaches defense against knives, guns and sticks as well as those that involve multiple assailants. It also doesn’t restrict itself by location and will teach different solutions based on where you are assaulted e.g. on the street, in your home, on public transport etc. It will also train you to be able to respond when seated, lying down etc as well as when standing.

Head Instructor, Gershon Ben Keren received his training and certification in Israel and regularly returns in order to update his training. This is necessary as Krav Maga is a continually evolving system that aims to improve its solutions and responses to various assaults and attacks.

Our school is a full time one, with instructors who have real world experience and are not simply teaching from a manual, or from what they learnt on a 5 day course etc. If you would like to look at our main website and the full schedule of classes we teach please click here.
