Krav Maga Crash

Went to his class out of curiosity and was pretty impressed. If you wanna get in shape fast and learn a couple of kickass moves, I’d recommend you go there!

I got bored with going to the gym, so I wanted to do something different to get into shape. Decided on the Martial Arts of Krav Maga. Met Daniel, the Israeli Zen Master. He put me in a class of twenty year olds and put us through a grueling workout of calisthenics. This went on for an hour. He didn’t care that I was close to 50 years old at the time and totally out of shape. Sweat pouring down my face, hyperventiating, this SOB didn’t care if I had a Heart Attack right then and there. When I saw his indifference to my suffering, after an hour, I quit at the five minute break. Told him this wasn’t for me and I extended my hand in which he refused to shake. Money hungry is to soft of a word for this first class A-​Hole. Insisted before the class that we buy from him workout gloves which were cheap crap at an inflated price of $ 40. Didn’t buy the gloves but left it with him once I quit the class. A week later, he saw me on the street and would you believe he shook me down for the $ 40. Not knowing the Psycho lived in my nabe, I gave him the $ 40, even though I gave it back to him when I quit the class. Paying him was safer then aurguing with this Sociopath. THe IDF teaches these lunatics to kill with one finger, I’m not taking any chances. After meeting a real Sabra, like this guy, you start to acquire Palestinian sympathies.

I haven’t done this boot camp thing, but have been attending «regular» classes, so I can’t really rate the boot camp experience. I’m not even entirely sure what it is, to be honest.
I’ve only been to a few of classes so far, but Daniel is great. I’m, well, athletically challenged. Basically, I’m a klutz, always got picked last for crab soccer, that kind of thing. So doing things like this always feels very awkward and strange for me. But Daniel is a good guide, and seems to have a good deal of patience. I feel like I get enough attention, and I’m quickly corrected when doing something incorrectly, but in a perfectly respectful manner. No rudeness, no condescending tone. Just, «Look, this is what you’re doing, and this is why it’s not good. Now, do it this way.» And when something is done correctly, it’s acknowledged. I appreciate this, especially since I do things incorrectly quite often.
There are classes offered at times that are late enough for me, as my schedule is just generally later than normal. This is a huge plus for me, and not having the 9pm classes would probably be a deal breaker, I’m sad to say. I believe there are also 7pm and 8pm classes, of varying skill levels, and some morning classes (I think).
I’ve only seen classes of fewer than 5 or 6 students, and I get the impression this is pretty normal. I think the website says the maximum number of students in a class is 20, but I have yet to see even half that many people in the studio. I don’t think I’d be comfortable in a class of 20 people, so 5 or 6 is perfect for me.
There are different membership packages available, at surprisingly reasonable rates, as well as an option to pay per class (I think it’s $ 30 for the hour). I got a monthly unlimited membership for this month, and intend to go every day that I can get out there. I’ll probably be renewing it when it expires, too.
My only complaint is that the studio is all the way out in Sheepshead Bay. I live in Downtown Brooklyn, so that means 45 mins to an hour commute. It’s worth it, but still…
Over all: highly recommend.

I attended Krav Maga New York Crash Boot Camp because I needed to get in shape and I don’t like gyms. I got in shape very fast, Daniel the instructor really knows what he is doing.
Daniel is very professional, he got me on a program just for me so I will get the best results.
I think the best thing I got out of my trainings is a Self-​confidence, now I know what I can do if I just put my mind in to it. Daniel didn’t let me quit and to give myself a brake.
I cherish my time at Krav Maga New York Crash Boot Camp and I will continue to go.
Thank you Daniel.
