If you are looking for a school that will put you through the motions to achieve a the highest grade belt as quickly as possible I suggest you look else where. From the moment you bow in and step on the mat Master Curry makes that very clear. This school is for those who are serious about learning martial arts, discipline, respect and self respect. If a person are willing to put the time and dedication in they be better off for it.

I did not like that the instructor pretended like my kid wasn't even there- didn't acknowledge or get my child excited to be there or even feel noticed. To me, it's a CHILDRENS class. Children need to be acknowledged so they feel welcome and wanted.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd job of a self defense school is to keep you safe…read more One of Krav Maga's theme's when defending against attackers is, "How do I make sure I get home safely to my family?" But what if you can't defend yourself from some of your own school's out of control instructors? The same instructors you have entrusted to keep you safe? What if, instead of going home, they send you to the hospital? This has happened numerous times at the Krav Maga Institute on Broadway in Tribeca. I was a student for long enough to recognize the Krav Maga Institute's unsafe approach. This year alone, a female instructor has caused 2 concussions to students who trusted the Krav Maga Institute inside the walls of its Tribeca studio while these students were preparing for the dangers outside on the streets. This same Krav Maga Institute instructor kicked a friend of mine in his groin as hard as she could. Another Krav Maga Institute Instructor sent a student to the emergency room with a facial injury. And, I recently learned that a 3rd Krav Maga Institute instructor injured a student so severely while grappling, that he was out for 2 years. The female instructor I mentioned above choked me so hard, I still have lingering effects months later. This after I repeatedly asked her to take it easy. She responded by telling me that she wasn't choking me hard. On another occassion, she didn't give me time to get the Thai pads up during a striking demonstration. She punched me in the face in front of a class of students. She then laughed, and the group, unsure how to react, took her lead and laghed nervously as well. These instructors still work at the Krav Maga Institute. I, however, refuse to risk my safety in a pursuit that is designed to ensure it. When I decided what to do, I considered a fundamental Krav Maga Principle: In dangerous siuations, you run away as soon as you can. That's just what I did.

I've learned so much and met so many great people in my 2 1/2 years now training with them. The instructors are first rate and passionate about teaching and are friendly and approachable as well. Initially, I thought I only cared about joining to learn more about self defense and fighting, but have lost over 20lbs and am now part of this whole other community. I attend sparring regularly and am confident that I'm much better equipped to handle myself outside of class if I ever needed to. If you want to learn how to defend yourself practically in a laid back environment that's about learning I highly recommend KMI.

My father wasted over 300,000$ for nothing after 3 years, my father told us we had to quit. The reason for this is because everything they do there is non-sense and they don't teach. The board breaking is fake because they break it for you, and they host events that have nothing to do with martial arts. My father knew about the scandal and wanted to sue the program and get his money back but we didn't bother. Please don't come here this place is a joke. There are many other martial arts programs that actually teach you to fight.

My son does many exercises with them and develops a good sweat, but they know when to slow him down not to tire him out. Both the school and the warrior program are good places for a handicapped person to experience martial arts training and develop good cardio.
