About Krav Maga in Boston

Krav Maga is a reality based self defense system (which is used by the Israeli Military – Gershon Ben Keren trained in Israel and has been certified to teach the system by the appropriate Israeli organizations) rather than a traditional martial art. What this means is that our training looks to provide solutions to real-life aggressive and violent situations. Because of this we focus not just on physical techniques but also on “softer” skills, such as situational awareness (SA) and de-escalation. We also teach the same techniques, which are taught to military and law enforcement agencies concerning decision making (Naturalistic Decision Making – NDM – and OODA Loop) and stress/emotional control e.g. tactical breathing. We also make use of the SEPS (Situation Effective Protection System) methodology that is currently being used by certain operatives in Afghanistan and Iraq to support these processes.

The HeadBoston Krav Maga Classes look to fully address the three components of self-defense: physical fitness, aggressive/emotional mindset and simple effective techniques. Our training is situation/scenario based and takes account of what to do if attacked in the home or on the street, what to do if attacked when accompanied by a partner/children and how to identify and act depending on the attackers motives (In total there are 5 factors/components that make up a violent situation).

About Krav Maga Training in Boston

We deal with knives, guns, sticks and improvised weapons such as chairs, wrenches, chains and broken bottles. However it is not just the fact that we deal with such a range of attacks that makes Krav Maga different from most martial arts it is more our approach to the different situations that assaults occur in: when standing, when surprised, when seated/on the ground etc.

Civilian Krav Maga training also makes use of military/law enforcement training methods e.g. CQB (Close Quarter Battle) and other stress tests and scenario based methods. We are a recognized Redman training center and Gershon Ben Keren has been certified as a Redman Scenario Based Training Instructor.
