1. Julie B. Level 4 Student

Since I can’t make it to class as regularly as I used to, I really appreciated the opportunity to review so many different defenses (especially stick—I hadn’t done that in quite awhile).  I also really liked the 3rd party gun drills at the end. They forced us to understand the basics of gun defenses and apply them to situations for which there may not be a set technique.  As an emergency manager by profession, I, too, often see my clients want to train or plan their way out of EVERY possible scenario.  The WTC attacks on 9-11 proved...

2. Max B. Brooklyn, NY

When I walked into the Roxbury classroom, I was a newly minted ex-smoker looking for something new to help re-pattern my life.  I couldn't take a punch -- couldn't much throw one, either.  I didn't know my limits or how I would respond when I hit them, and I was apprehensive about my ability to stick with something both physically and mentally exhausting.  Ten months later, that feels like lifetimes ago.  Ten short months, and though I know I've barely even started down the path, I feel sharper, more confident, more able, and safer than I...

  I really wanted to find a school that focused on strong practical self-defense techniques. Being a woman and living in a city area made me realize how important it is to be able to protect myself. Krav Maga Boston was the only school I found that really focused on self-defense. Through the school, I’ve learned not only the basic combatives, but have also worked with possible scenarios, ground work and weapon techniques. But being a part of the school has also given me back so much more. It’s challenged me both physically and mentally,...

4. Daniel F. Brookline, MA

I had never done any martial arts before I joined Krav Maga Boston, and when selecting a system to learn I was looking for one that will efficiently teach me to defend myself and my loved ones from realistic threats that I am likely to encounter in an everyday setting. While skills taught in most other systems are best used in a controlled environment (such as specially equipped gyms or sports competitions), the techniques that define Krav Maga are custom-tailored to the scenarios that can and do occur in real life. Being a novice in martial...

When you join Krav Maga Boston, you are becoming part of a great community.  Your fellow students are supportive and your instructors are first-rate.  I've been taking classes for about five years and my awareness and confidence has increased tremendously.  I keep thinking that I'm lucky to be with such a terrific group of people.

  I used to be weak, and very nervous in crowds. A few months of Krav Maga changed my confidence level forever. It also cured a lifetime of bitterness, cynicism, and hostility. I found I was capable of greater physical feats than I ever knew, and I had fun every minute I was there (except perhaps during my yellow belt test). Dennis and Shawn are the nicest “tough guys” I've ever met, and their guidance and training helped change my life. In Krav Maga you will learn how to win a fight (or how to get out of one), but you will also learn...

I started Krav Maga a little over a month ago. I have always been into fitness and I've worked out at the gym consistently for the past three years. I heard about Krav Maga and I decided I wanted to learn more about it. I contacted Dennis and he set me up with a free intro class. After my Introduction class, I couldn't wait to come back again. In this past month I can already see myself advancing and becoming physically and mentally stronger. I find myself to be more aware of my surroundings now, and the classes have gotten me in better shape...

8. Meghan G. Lynn, MA

I was looking for a school that provided the most convenient class schedule and one that specialized exclusively in Krav Maga. Krav Maga Boston was the only school in the area that fit those criteria. I met Dennis Amato and Shawn Burgo, the Instructors of Krav Maga Boston; they could not have been more attentive and informative. They described the system of Krav Maga, its importance and practicality and their own personal experiences in regards to training. I began taking classes right away and almost a year later I could not be happier with...
