The classes they run
“As a woman in nyc, I cannot express how grateful I am for my time here to get my yellow belt.”
“There is even a kids program - and you can bet that my daughter will be given the opportunity to train there as soon as she's old enough!”
“The Sensi of the dojo is Rhon who is a former general and paratrooper of the isreal military.”
“Self-defense is a sugar-coated word, that really means the ability to hurt someone badly before they are able to hurt you.”
Other martial arts here
“This is no Billy Blanks Tie-Bow-Boxing fusion junk.”
What students say
“Lastly, the other instructors; David, Erik, Kel, Adam, and Alon are all high-level belts, all taught by Rhon, and are too excellent instructors.”
“this is the flagship school of the federation if you want a no nonsense real deal Krav Maga school go there.”
“Because of Rhon Mizrachi I have found a strength and confidence I don’t remember ever feeling before.”
“As a woman in nyc, I cannot express how grateful I am for my time here to get my yellow belt.”
“The place where I was working out involved a good deal of us yelling which I cannot do since my voice only goes so loud.”
From the reviews
This is authentic Krav Maga traced back to its roots. Master Rhon has a level of respect that is recognized internationally. His knowledge of Krav Maga traces directly back to Imi Lichtenfeld (the KM Founder).
There is no substitute for experience in the world of martial arts. Rhon Mizrachi has been teaching Krav Maga for over a quarter of a century. He dedicated himself to making his classes the most efficient way to learn self-defense. But, you won't find any gimmicks here, just a supportive place for personal growth.
I found out about Krav Maga Federation through a friend’s constant Facebook postings about how great it was but at the time I was doing a pretty intense workout 6 days a week and while it sounded cool it did not seem necessary.
A few years ago, my gym membership lapsed and I had gotten a little soft. A friend who worked in the Columbus Circle area mentioned that she wanted to try Krav Maga. We took an introductory class at the Krav Maga Federation (then located at John Jay College). I was sore for days after that.
Your first Krav Maga class at Krav Maga Federation
Nervous about walking into a Krav Maga school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling a few core techniques with a partner — controlled and at your own pace, not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move in — there's no uniform or special gear you need to buy to get started. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — most schools have everything else you'll need for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call what to bring. Pressure-testing eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid — you won't be sparring hard on day one. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
