Beginner Krav Maga Classes
Our Beginner Krav Maga classes primarily prepare attendees for joining our regular adult classes (these are held at our location less than 5 miles from the center of Stoneham, MA). Those who attend will be introduced to some of the fundamental concepts that define the Krav Maga system. This is important because by understanding these many questions as to why certain techniques and solutions are used when dealing with threats and attacks. This means that when somebody sees a technique demonstrated/taught/practiced in a class they know and understand why that particular response to a threat and/or attack is used i.e., they don’t have to ask “why” you would respond in that way and perhaps not in another way etc.
Attendees will be introduced to the “fighting games” that are used as part of the “warm up” in a regular class. The games have been developed to teach and practice fighting skills, such as effective movement, how to control range and distance, and make effective blocks etc. Rather than have a warm-up which sees people running around and engaging in calisthenics e.g., push-ups, sit-ups, burpees etc., the point of Krav Maga is to spend every minute of training time, enhancing, and developing fighting skills and techniques, so our process of warming up does this. These games have a focus on safety and allow those training to practice in a dynamic fashion without the risk of injury.
Those attending will also be taught basic striking/punching and how to develop power through shifting body weight effectively, and using the legs, hips, and back to throw the punch/strike rather than relying just on arm movement alone. These strikes/punches will also be practiced on focus mitts allowing for attendees to learn how to hold and use these pads correctly. By doing so they will be able to hit the ground running when they join regular classes and will not need to be taught how to use them, which would interrupt training time. One of the benefits of our beginner Krav Maga classes is that when you become a member everybody you train with will have gone through this class and have the abilities to train as a partner, without having to be taught what to do etc.
In the last section of the class, you will be taught solutions to attacks and threats both unarmed and armed and be introduced to the way that Krav Maga syllabuses are created and taught. You will start to understand from this why Krav Maga is such a fast and efficient system to learn and why it has been proven time and time again to work under the pressure, stress, and duress on a real-life violent conflict.
The cost of the class is $25, and it lasts for 60 minutes. The format of it follows that of our regular classes and is taught at a slower pace with an explanation of how and why we do things the way we do. The class is held at the address below, and there is ample free on-site parking. You can sign up for the class using the form below.
