Boston Academy of Krav Maga Testimonials

Below are a selection of unsolicited testimonials from individuals who have been trained by Gershon Benb Keren

"Hello Gershon,

Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks to you and all the instructors at BAKM.

Probably not a lot of people celebrate their 55th birthday by enrolling in a program such as Krav Maga, but the no-obligation introductory class was great and quickly eliminated any concerns. It's hard to believe that six months have now passed since that first session.

In that time I've learned some valuable and practical principles of self defense, and my cardio and flexibility have greatly improved. A further bonus is th at my weight has dropped by almost 30 lbs during those six months – about one lb per week – back to what it was in college.

I would encourage anyone from complete beginner to elite athlete who might be interested to bring a friend to an introductory class and check out the top notch facilities, knowledgeable team and highly regarded Israeli Krav Maga training held at BAKM.

Thanks again!"

"I can honestly say that I've never had a higher standard of instruction in my life. That includes anywhere in the military including instructors from special forces. There aren’t many people you come across in your life who you can genuinely call a teacher and you are one of them. Not just technical skill or even experience in the street, as many people have that but a deep understanding of why things work and more importantly why things don't."

"Thank you so much for the free women's self defense seminar you did on Saturday. I was extremely sceptical about what I would learn in one afternoon but I was literally blown away. Your knowledge of the subject was amazing. I have know idea where you learnt these things or how you developed such an insight into the minds of sexual predators but the instructions and guidance around identification and profiling of rapists was incredible.

I went expecting the same tired advice with a few techniques thrown in but now I have a complete roadmap of what to do, from identification of situtions right through to being attacked.

Once again many, many thanks."
