Our 60-minute beginner/Introductory Krav Maga Classes/Seminars allow you to experience authentic Israeli Krav Maga firsthand, in a safe and controlled manner, in a small group setting, where you can get a more detailed explanation of the Krav Maga approach, and the underlying concepts and principles upon which Krav Maga techniques and solutions are based. Anyone wishing to join Krav Maga Yashir must first attend one of these seminars, or take an online virtual introductory short course, however if you are simply wanting to experience a taste of what authentic Krav Maga looks like, then this seminar should meet your needs. If you are interested in learning more about why Krav Maga is such an effective system of self-defense click here to watch Gershon Ben Keren (5th Degree Black Belt) explain in a series of short videos, some of the fighting concepts and principles that the system is founded upon.
This 96-minute seminar is a mix of hands-on drills and technique practice, along with detailed explanations as to why Krav Maga approaches solutions to violence the way it does. You will also learn about the history of Krav Maga and how it has evolved and developed over the years, as it responds to new threats/attacks, and improves solutions to existing ones etc. Our school is located off I-95 (exit 53), just North of Waltham, and has a large on-site parking lot. The cost of the seminar is $25, which also includes 3-months access to our online/virtual Krav Maga foundational course. The dates for upcoming seminars are on the booking form, which can be accessed by clicking the button below.
The seminar is structured like one of our regular classes e.g., fighting games and drills, striking drills, followed by self-defense scenarios etc. However, rather than simply take-part in these things, the methodology behind each section of training is explained. Krav Maga is not simply about principles and techniques, as the approach also has a distinct teaching methodology; one that allows for the learning process to be both efficient and effective. The original and fundamental goal of Krav Maga within the IDF, is to get an untrained, new recruit, combat ready in the shortest possible time. This is achieved not simply by basing techniques on simple, instinctive, and natural movements but also by structuring training sessions in a particular way.
In the seminar you will be introduced to Krav Maga’s blocking system and learn the fundamentals of how to strike/punch with power, and you will get to practice both in safe and dynamic drills, that help to build fighting skills without a risk of injury. You will learn defense to both unarmed and armed threats and attacks (knife and short-barrel firearms). You will also be introduced to some basic legal principles around violence, and some non-physical techniques and methods which help improve the chances of getting solutions to work in real-life situations.
The seminar is held at the address below, and costs $25.
