Krav Maga is not about feats of strength, and its techniques can be learned by anyone regardless of age, gender, size, strength or ability. Practitioners reach a high level of proficiency in a relatively short period of time. On an individual level, both adult and child Krav Maga practitioners improve their overall fitness and coordination, increase their confidence and encourages grit and determination.

“If You See Something, Do Something” Campaign Aims to Spur Self-Reliance
Somers, New York – Westchester County based Krav Maga New York, trainers for
New York Tactical Officers Association and Tactical Operators East, launches
“If you see something, do something” campaign to teach community residents how
to defend themselves. The first in a
series of free community training events will take place on Saturday September
17th 2015 and will focus on abduction prevention.
Krav Maga New York is the area’s leading self-defense
expert, teaching Israeli Krav Maga - a gender neutral system of self-defense
renowned for its simplicity and effectiveness.
The company has pledged to run a series of fun, safe, professional
events that it believes will foster among community members a
sense of safety, security, self-reliance and self-worth.
Krav Maga New York’s September 17th event, the
first of several, will be held at Somers Sport
Arena and will mark the company’s commencement of its new “If you see
something, do something” campaign.
On August 21st, three American off duty servicemen on
a train from Amsterdam to Paris overpowered a heavily armed gunman. "By their courage, they saved
lives," French President François Hollande said, "They gave us an
example of what is possible to do in these kinds of situations."
“While
no sane person would wish to be in a situation like the one that three
Americans found themselves in”, said Davide Gristina, Krav Maga New York’s
Chief Instructor, “the reality is that in today’s world, these kind of events
are sadly more common than we would want them to be. We seek to empower our community”.
Since 2004, Krav Maga New York has trained thousands of men
and women and hundreds of police officers, agencies and special response
teams.
