About American Krav Maga
Krav Maga is an Israeli form of self-defense developed by Imi Lichtenfeld and was originally taught to the soldiers of the Israeli Special Forces. American Krav Maga was developed by Adam DiStefano and has been adapted for use in civilian situations, preparing practitioners to be street ready and how to manage stress effectively to function at a highly fluid level of self-defense in street encounters.

American Krav Maga is easy to learn and very simple to retain, even in the highest threat level situations.

Our system of Krav Maga is based on the philosophy of function over form. Based on the principles of “there are no rules in a real fight” and “there is no tapping out in the street.”

THIS IS NOT MMA OR CAGE FIGHTING! THIS IS A STREET PROVEN SYSTEM TO PREPARE YOU FOR REALISTIC SELF DEFENSE…NOT TO BECOME THE NEXT ULTIMATE FIGHTER!!!

NYKA Krav Maga Mission
At NYKA Krav Maga, our mission is to build a safer world by empowering people with safe and effective means of protecting themselves and their loved ones. We believe it should not take a “Black Belt” in order to accomplish this goal. Keeping the system realistic and effective enables anyone who learns American Krav Maga to live a much more happy and confident lifestyle without the fear of getting your ass kicked!!!

There are no set movements or forms in American Krav Maga. We reinforce the “use what works” mentality while teaching practitioners to utilize rapid fire striking until the threat has been neutralized.

The main focus of training is prevention, escaping, evasion, and to avoid confrontation at all cost. Training involves practical, economical, and realistic self defense techniques that enable practitioners to defend themselves against chokes and grabs, weapons, such as guns, knives, sticks, and baseball bats.

The realistic and high intensity in training and execution of American Krav Maga differs from other styles of traditional and sport martial arts is that all attacks are applied as if under life threatening situations. Techniques are performed under worst case scenario, such as defending in confined spaces, in the dark, against multiple assailants, or against an attacked approaching from behind .

The ultimate level of commitment for martial arts is when you recognize that it is time to participate in a level of training that will give you the confidence and security to protect yourself and your loved ones.
