Krav Maga Self Defense course comes to Ridgewood YMCA

The Ridgewood YMCA will be offering a 4 week summer session of the Krav Maga self-defense/martial arts program on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 6:30pm from July 9-30.

Krav Maga is a program that was developed in Israel by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to give its soldiers an advantage in hand-to-hand fighting over their opponents. Krav Maga has evolved into an Urban Combat Fitness Program, based on simple self-protection techniques specifically created to simulate real attack situations, instinctive maneuvers and provides an incomparable level of self-confidence to its students. 

This program is based on real-world situations and provides a very fun and engaging way to obtain the highest level of fitness and stamina in a short period of time, while simultaneously learning how to protect your self.
 
The program focuses on:

  • Urban Self Defense Methods
  • Simple & Effective Hand To Hand Combat
  • Dynamic and Hybrid Fitness Training
  • Quality Of Life and Body Development
     

Krav Maga is easy to learn, easy to remember, and, most importantly, effective!
