Welcome to Krav Maga Yashir Boston - the Krav Maga school of Head Instructor Gershon Ben Keren! We teach effective self-defense that has been proven in one of the toughest and most dangerous environments on the planet. If you want to learn why Krav Maga is so effective, you can watch seven short videos explaining some of the fighting concepts the system is based on by click here. Developed in Israel, for use by members of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces), Krav Maga has proven itself to be an effective system of hand-to-hand combat, against a variety of different threats and attacks e.g., both unarmed and armed (knife, stick and gun etc.). Krav Maga is recognized by law-enforcement and security agencies around the world as being both, one of the fastest to learn, and most effective systems of self-defense around. Whilst statistically we may be living in one of the safest periods in history, if as an individual you are targeted by violence, knowing how to defend and protect yourself (along with those who may be with you, such as family members, and/or friends etc.), and having the skills and techniques to do so will be of the utmost importance. Teaching solutions to unarmed and armed attacks, committed by single or multiple assailants, whether standing or on the ground etc. our Krav Maga Krav Maga program will prepare you for dealing with real-life violent events. Our scenario-based approach to training will not only teach you how to physically defend yourself but also how to predict, prevent and avoid violence before it happens. Our school is conveniently located in Woburn (Off of I-95 and I-93) and offers a large free parking lot.
