Smithtown Krav Maga

Visiting NY for the month of July and live right down the road from Smithtown Krav Maga. Always wanted to give it a try and with it so close to my house, went in for a free class.
Micheal (owner) was very nice and welcoming. The class was Adults: Krav Maga Level 1, which was perfect for me (challenging but not difficult).
There were about 8 –10 people (morning class) and I was paired up with an experienced student. Was great as he helped me with the moves/​techniques.
We started with a warm up, then; a cardio workout, self defense technique, yoga stretch (really enjoyed this) another technique, then cardio workout.
Really enjoyed yoga stretching — it was only for a few minutes, but provided a really deep stretch.
Also enjoyed the variety of the class structure — went by quick and got my heart pumping!
Enjoyed the Krav Maga perspective of self defense. Having taken martial arts for many years, I quickly understood the effectiveness of Krav Maga — focused on debilitating moves (which aren’t taught in martial arts!).
Wish I was in NY longer to take more classes!

I had my son in Taikwondo for 6 years before i came to the realization that they were not teaching anything that would defend him against a bully. The flying kicks and katas just aren’t practical in a real life situation. I started looking around for a school that would teach straight up self defense, and Smithtown Krav Maga fulfills that like no other school. Hanchi Rosati has stellar credentials, his staff are pleasant and highly skilled, and their approach is simple and direct with immediate results. I have my whole family attending now, and it was the best decision I could have made. And as an added bonus, I ended up paying half what I was paying for my son at Taikwondo with all their added «fees», and my whole family trains alongside him, myself included.

I wish I joined a long time ago. The focus is on fast disabling of your opponent in a real fight, not memorizing boring move combinations to earn your belt. and an awesome workout! I love that I can take classes with my 9 year old son. Great instructors, good parking and convent hours.
