Been taking classes at KMNY for over 3 months now. So far I love it. After having done all sorts of athletic things from Tae Kwon Do, Running to CrossFit to Zumba, for me, it seems to pull it all together into one excellently presented package. Let's just say this...when I miss a class...I really miss it. More...

I have been bringing my three kids here since the beginning of the school year. Davide and his instructors are very motivating and you feel that they care. Besides a great workout the kids sit together at the end of every class and talk about the different aspects of verbal self defense. Learning about how to verbally solve a situation is something I wish was taught in school. I highly recommend this place! More...

I've been training at KMNY for over a year and I've enjoyed every moment. Davide, Erin and the rest of the other instructors are knowledgeable, patient and supportive. The krav maga techniques that I've learned there have increased my confidence and self-defense aptitude. Their supplemental fitness classes have improved my cardio, strength and mobility. And the other students are friendly and enthusiastic; it's a great community. More...

I've been training at KMNY for almost 2.5 years now. It was my first experience doing any type of martial arts or self defense and I've been coming nonstop since I started. When Davide approached me about becoming an instructor last year, I would have been crazy to say no. KMNY has had such a huge impact on my life, and now I get to help people the way my fellow instructors helped me when I started out. More...

Krav Maga has changed the way I walk, such as to my car in a parking lot. The first step in self-defense is being aware of your surroundings, then comes the rest, which is taught well. Lifting weights in the gym is great for strength, but in Krav we learn what to do with that strength. More...

I've been a student here for nearly 9 months and I'm continually impressed. The instructors are very knowledgable and super supportive! ! And the vibe in the classes are great; all of the other students are friendly and welcoming. The more advanced students are helpful and provide a lot of guidance to the newer students.

It is said that the biggest room is the room for improvement. As an organization, we know where we’re strong and where we’re not. We don’t kid ourselves. And man, we work really hard at getting better… at filling that room. We feel we owe it to ourselves, our students and our community to be the best training center we can be. My staff members and I are very committed. In fact, as they say in poker, we’re all in. For that, I give us 5 Starts. More...

It's been a month since I've joined KMNY and I wanted to leave a review after I've trained here meet with and trained along side the students and instructors. I hope this review will help others understand a little more about KMNY. This training center hosts several very knowledgable instructors including the founder who is a 2nd degree black belt which like any belted system is NOT easy to achieve! This style of fighting is a proven system which you WILL learn KMNY, you WILL get into shape, you WILL feel more confident on who you are and what your capable of! I encourage anyone who was thinking about it, had questions, or just was curious about what Krav Maga was to set up a trial class!!! The society we live in can change from good to bad in an instant and knowing that you will be able to handle a situation with confidence is in my opinion is enough to try this style of self defense, like the slogan states, "GET IN SHAPE, GO HOME SAFE"!!!

What do you love most about your job?
The people we come into contact with and the changes we witness.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was explaining a defensive technique to a female participant... I used an explanation I had given a countless times before, but this participant was not getting it. I walked over, changed the explanation a little bit using an example I had never used before and and suddenly she got it. i saw a spark in her eye, as if a light build went off. I'll never forget that feeling. I was happy for us both. I started my own business because I want to feel that feeling all the time.
