    This is an amazing academy. My son loves attending this program; the staff is great; the Grand Master is patient and energized!

    I can't recommend the Women's Self Defense classes enough! I have taken two now and plan to…read morecontinue with the series. There is so much to learn and you can never be too prepared. The instructors are great and provide hands on experience and real-life scenarios. SIGN UP FOR THE PEPPER SPRAY CLASS. You will be surprised by how much you don't know about using your pepper spray. The studio is a bit difficult to find and feels a little sketchy. I thought I would need to take a self defense class just to make my way into the studio. You're in the right place if you're in a dirt lot under the bridge around nothing else. Once inside, you can take these creepy industrial stairs up to the top floor or there is a massive elevator.

    I have been training under Gershon ben Keren at Krav Maga Yashir since February 2012. In my opinion…read morethere are four reasons why Krav Maga Yashir Boston should receive serious consideration from anyone in the Boston area seeking to learn self-defense, learn a martial art, or simply vastly improve their physical fitness. Number 1 = Quality of instruction. This is the sine qua non of any martial arts school. Mr. ben Keren and his assistant instructors are professional, competent, and dedicated. Techniques are expertly demonstrated, remediated, and reinforced in a variety of partner-based and group-based drills. Students are always shown the "context" of a technique: what happens leading up to it, the purpose of each movement, and what happens afterwards. My belief is that when new students are able to perform a technique effectively on their first try, it actually reflects far more credit on the teacher than the learner. I see this happen all the time on the mats, and it speaks volumes for the knowledge and competency of the instructors. Number 2 = Krav Maga Yashir teaches the entire spectrum of violence, an area where other martial arts have major limitations. A striking art (boxing, muay thai, karate) may teach you to fight an imaginary assailant. A grappling art such as BJJ may teach you to escape from said assailant on the ground. Neither addresses the more important questions grounded in reality, such as: How did you get there? What if a knife or gun is involved? What if I accidentally trip and fall? Get taken by surprise? Get backed against a wall? Have a significant other I need to protect? Krav Maga Yashir teaches simple, direct, pragmatic solutions to all of the above, and more. Nobody needs to be Donnie Yen or Ronda Rousey to effectively defend themselves, and this school gives you the tools to do that. Number 3 = Value for your $$. Monthly membership rate is comparable to market rate for other area martial arts schools, and much lower than Crossfit gyms and other functional-fitness type places. The membership also gives free access to 5x-weekly cardio bootcamp classes, special outdoor training, and use of the gym at the studio. New workout equipment is constantly added and incorporated into the bootcamps, which themselves are a hell of a workout. Members also get first access to guest seminars with top outside Krav Maga instructors. Number 4 = Great social atmosphere. I'm always impressed by the respect, humility, and maturity of other students. It's very rare to have anyone beating on others in an attempt to be the tough guy, and such behavior is *never* tolerated. Students are all ages from 20s to 60s, all body types and fitness levels. Since all of class is partner or group based, you quickly pick up names and personalities of fellow students. Sometimes when you're on the brink of absolute physical exhaustion, you just can't help but look at each other and laugh at the insanity of it all. That's the kind of esprit that can't be faked, and a major reason I spend 10 hrs a week here without hesitation. Overall, Krav Maga Yashir gets my highest possible recommendation. I am constantly being that annoying guy urging my female friends to try it, and it's what I look forward to every day at work (when I'm not wasting time on Yelp reviews that will end up getting filtered anyway). You can try classes free for a week through the school website as well.

    This will mark my first review after using Yelp for several years…read more I was looking for a place to learn Krav Maga, a form of hand to hand combat, and I came here. The first lesson I received was from a competent instructor so I return for a second. While I was waiting with the class for the session to being I was told by the other students, "Ugh, the other instructor is here." After several minutes of people going on about how much they like the other instructor and dislike the one we were about to have I asked, "Is he really as bad as the other is good?" and the response was a polite way of saying, "Yes". I didn't think much of it as I've been to several boxing gyms, workout gyms, etc. and none of them were that bad. Well, after about 20 minutes of running around and very little training I became leery of the value of coming. After a few more minutes I was lying on my back performing some new exercise when all of a sudden the trainer (who's also the owner it turns out) is sitting on top of me showing how I can be held in place. No warning, no request for permission, just sitting on top of me. At that point I got up, told him he had no business sitting on top of me without my permission, and then noted that if he had done as much to one of girls in the glass they would have been hysterical - one of which was two months pregnant. This center sucks. For Krav Maga training check out the numerous ones around Greater Boston, you'll have better luck.

    This place is really great for Taekwondo. A major differentiator is that this place offers classes…read morefor the whole family to train together. We wanted something to do with our kids, not just to watch them do it. We wanted a family activity. All the other places in town that we visited said that the adult classes were separate. This place does offer adult classes in the evenings, however those come as part of the package and can be attended in addition to the family classes that you can do with your kids. The other major differentiator of this place is the owner and chief instructor. He is very experienced and a perfectionist when it comes to learning Taekwondo. You and your child get the chance to become top-notch if you wish. Many state and world champions have come out of this academy. However, if you wish to just do it for sport and for exercise or discipline or whatever other reason, you will feel very comfortable doing that as well. It's easy to go at your own pace. We highly recommend this as a family activity! Enjoy.
