Krav Maga Federation

The Krav Maga Federation is thrilled to announce the addition of a children’s Krav Maga program at its flagship school in Manhattan ! These classes are designed for children ages six through twelve and cover all of the same practical self-defense techniques as adult Krav Maga classes but at a more kid-friendly pace.

Like other martial arts, Krav Maga will improve your child’s motor skills, flexibility and balance. As students focus and commit themselves to mastering techniques and progressing through the belt ranks, they also gain a high level of discipline, respect and self-confidence.

But Krav Maga is unique. It is the art of practical self-defense – everything your child learns is something that can be readily applied if he or she were to encounter a dangerous situation. We also encourage awareness of one’s environment, and importantly, recognition of when (and how) to disengage from a conflict without combat.

Our Federation is especially unique in its strong sense of camaraderie and community. We encourage all of our students, regardless of age, to achieve his or her full potential, and we are very excited to finally offer a world-class children’s program to the New York area.

Children’s classes begin March 1 and will be held Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 4:15-5:15pm. Please write to kravmagakids@gmail.com for more information.

I was under the impression that the parents could participate in the workshop with the kids - is that accurate?

Our thoughts are to have it "kids only", but it may be that some kids are more comfortable with a parent participating with them; or, in your case, it may be that a parent is so excited to have their daughter(s) take Krav Maga that THEY want to participate. Either way, if parent participation is necessary, we won't say no.
