From the reviews
I’ve been going to Progressive Krav Maga for almost a year and I can honestly say that this is the best place that I’ve trained. Tito is a great teacher with real world experience. Class sizes are small compared to most schools in the city, which allows for more personal attention from instructors.
Hands down the best Krav Maga training in NYC. I've trained both in Israel and all over the US and Tito is one of the few instructors (only one in New York that I've found) who continually updates his own training—if it doesn't work, he doesn't teach it.
I’ve been doing this class for almost 4 months now and it’s been a great learning experience, a good workout, and a lot of fun!! Tito is an amazing teacher who puts tons of effort into each student he teaches. He’s able to teach people of all different skill levels simultaneously.
If you're looking for straightforward, practical, and effective ways to defend yourself in everyday life, Progressive Krav Maga is for you. There is no other school I would recommend for anyone wanting to build their confidence in defending themselves in real-world, potential everyday scenarios through practical and…
New to Krav Maga? Start at Progressive Krav Maga
Progressive Krav Maga comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a self-defense class, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or athletic to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build the fundamentals (stance, movement, and core self-defense techniques) over weeks, and controlled pressure-testing eases in gradually so every drill stays safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or Level 1 class time so your first session is alongside others who are also just starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Krav Maga class at Progressive Krav Maga
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.
