Beginner Krav Maga Classes Boston
Our introductory Krav Maga classes are intended to introduce you to the Krav Maga approach for dealing with violence. These classes are 60-minutes in length and teach the fundamental
and foundational concepts of Krav Maga (If you want to learn more about what Krav Maga is and isn’t you can click here). The focus of these classes is to teach you enough about Krav Maga
and Krav Maga Yashir’s training methodology, so that if you chose to continue training at Krav Maga Yashir Boston, you would be able to take part in regular classes, effectively hitting
the ground running etc. The advantage of this approach is that there are never any completely “new” beginners in our regular Krav Maga classes e.g., everybody is taught how to hold pads
and work with partners in our introductory/beginner classes.
The structure of our beginner classes replicates the way we train in our regular classes. Unlike in many martial arts classes we don’t warm-up using calisthenics – push-ups, sit-ups and other body weight exercises – instead we use a method of Krav Maga training known/referred to as “fighting games”, which trains and develops fighting skills, such as how to block strikes, control range, and move efficiently/effectively etc. In every class, from the moment a person steps onto the mats, they are being taught how to fight. Whilst “self-defense” refers to the legal framework, which justifies the use of physical force etc., in reality if somebody is attacked they are involved in a “fight” and need to be equipped with the psychological, emotional and physical skills necessary to survive and deal with the assault – these are things that we develop in our Boston Krav Maga classes, starting with our beginner Krav Maga classes.
As well as introducing people to fighting games, we use these as an opportunity to introduce them to some of the core, foundational concepts upon which Krav Maga techniques and solutions are
based. As well as starting to develop “defensive” skills we also look at how to strike and punch effectively, using bodyweight to power strikes rather than limb strength alone e.g., the
power in a punch/strike is generated by the timing of a shift in bodyweight, with the extension of a limb etc. There are no “secrets” in Krav Maga and we explain all of the body mechanics
involved as we teach. This can sometimes seem overwhelming however it is a method of teaching which has been found to be the most effective in taking an untrained individual and making
them “combat ready” (dependent on context), in the shortest possible time.
