    I honestly think there should be better regulation of these places. I tried this out in January and in the intro class re awakened an old injury due to the instructor not being properly educated on anatomy and basic injury prevention. It was a kicking class and I have a recurring knee injury but was told I would be fine...I was not. I fell for the pay $150 now pressure tactic of joining as I hoped things would get better but one class in to that and I realized I had made a big mistake. Due to my injury incurred in intro class I was told my membership would be frozen and I would be contacted in three months to re asses the situation. I was not contacted.....I had to reach out to them after almost 4 months. I have been in the fitness industry as a writer for many worldwide publications and websites for 30 years so I think I know what I am talking about. For the average person with no real fitness background this may seem wonderful. However to any professional this is about as far from wonderful as it gets. If you do go I strongly advise you to forgo the pressure "sign up now" offer ...take your time to asses the situation. Or you will end up out of pocket like I did.

    Incredible workout & life-saving self defense skills! It all started when my brother bought me a gift card a couple of months ago and convinced me to take self defense classes before I leave the country for my trip to South America in December 2018. I used the credit for a private session with Tsahi, and it has become my new healthy addiction, immediately. He had such a creative way to get me engaged with something that was so foreign to me. I never thought I could enjoy the concept of fighting. After this one private session, I discovered that I can actually enjoy this. Tsahi put me through some tough drills and made me feel a great sense of achievement when we were done. I signed up for 10 more Krav Maga session right after my first class, and now Krav Maga became a part of my lifestyle. It's a lot more than just fighting. Like my instructor says: "It's about self-love, you're worth fighting for". I highly recommend Krav Maga Experts to anyone seeking for a life change, gain skills, self-confidence or even just lose weight. This is a life changing experience, if you are looking for a positive change, that's the best place to start.

    Life changing. Classes morning, noon, night. Cardio, weights... No need for a gym membership

    I've been a member at Krav Maga Experts for 2+ years and I don't plan on quitting ever! It's a fun and friendly atmosphere. Everyone from beginners to the most advanced are like family. The instructors are all former IDF and are the best teachers. Everyone is very motivating and will push you to the best of your ability. It's better than going to the gym and running on a treadmill. I prefer Krav Maga Experts than any other school out there.

    The classes are good, the instructors are helpful, and the whole experience is very physically intense. However, after explaining carefully how I could only attend classes for one month and that's all I needed, they still went ahead and had me pay for two. That's $100 wasted in my case but could've been more. I'm a student drowned in the debt associated with it and I didn't need that.

    They haven’t updated Google. I walked in to find a physical therapy center on the 9th floor where they should be. Apparently they haven’t reopened yet because of the pandemic. Hopefully they will be back up soon at this location

    Next year I have several friends who are likely to join because I have nothing but positive reviews about KME. I feel like their primary focus is on personalization. In other gym classes, in order to receive any type of individual help, you have to hire a personal trainer. So the fact the instructors constantly provide you with feedback in all of your classes makes this a fantastic deal for anyone looking to improve their self-defense skills and/or looking to get into shape. Fit-2-Fight classes have helped me immensely. As someone who regularly attends both krav and conditioning, I feel that through conditioning, I am on track to be in the best shape of my life. I can literally feel myself getting stronger week by week. Also, I feel like my krav maga skills have greatly improved due to the exercises performed during conditioning. Joining Krav Maga Experts, was (and still is) the BEST decision I have ever made in life.

    On Jan, 2016, I walked into Krav Maga Experts school, with the mindset of learning how to protect myself. I never even imagined the way that place would change my life. I could probably go on forever with everything it means to me, but I know that those of you who have never tried it could not begin to understand my passion and those of you have tried it are probably still there, and know exactly what I am talking about. I can say that after the day I started I spent every possible minute on the mat. Training under Tsahi and his talented staff, I have gained a strength and confidence in myself that I have never realized possible. Tsahi, Carlos, Raz and the others all gave me a safe place to train, a place where I loved to be. They were extremely patient with their students, they are kind, and super professional. If you are looking for a new martial arts school, or more specific a krav maga school (OR the BEST krav maga school), this place is a one stop shop for everything you would ever need! They are the kind of teachers that makes me want to be the absolute best I can be.

    A beautiful state-of-the-art fitness and Krav Maga self-defense training facility located in the heart of NYC. Krav Maga Experts' world-class instructors will train you in the best self-defense system out there. I highly recommend joining, and trying out more than just one class. Give it a shoot for a month, and you will find out that you can't stop doing it.

    Easily, the best place to practice self-defense in NYC. I have tried them all (I booked a trial class at any school that seemed legit, Krav Maga, Kung Fu and other arts). This gym offers best value for your money. 1. Best trainers and high level of teaching. 2. The most classes per day, with multiple locations in the city, so you can find a close enough location, regardless of your current location. 3.The facilities are clean and staff is friendly. So grateful to have a place to train that I can also call it home!

    So far so good. The environment is highly positive. I think in the end, it's about finding the right instructor there. Perfect for someone brand new to martial arts, or looking to rekindle old skills.

    I was first introduced to Krav Maga by a good friend who is enrolled in this program. She assured me that regardless of my physical shape I will enjoy class and learn a lot. That was 8 months ago. I now, I recommend this to you, review readers. Now that I am in the best shape I have even been in my life, and belong to a wonderful community that really makes this place home to me, recommending KME is a no brainer. There's so many good things to say, so just come and try it yourself!

    If anyone wants to learn the authentic self Defense system of Krav Maga, IKM is what you need. Tsahi Shemesh is great with his students and his skills are masterful , Yiftach is a great instructor as well, and the whole team has a high level of experience you need to accomplish your goal. Not only will you learn proper techniques to protect yourself from danger, but your getting a full body workout and cardio. I am a level 1 Krav Maga practishioner and i have to say if i could give it more than 5 stars i will. BEST SCHOOL FOR SELF DEFENSE period!!

    I've been training at KME for just over a year, and I cannot recommend them enough. The trainers are professional, approachable, and WILL push you further than you thought you could go. Not to mention the lovely, warm, and embracing community KME has fostered. Awesome people, amazing workouts, and a skill that will make you feel poised and ready to take on anything. 5/5 Would get my ass kicked on a twice weekly basis again ;)

    Krav Maga Experts is a fantastic school and I can't recommend it enough. You won't be able to find better teachers out there. They know their stuff! The teachers and the students both are very welcoming and are all around great people, which makes the community feel less like a gym where people only come for class, and more like a big family. I trained at Krav Maga Experts for a little over a year and every day I went to take class it was always the highlight of my day. I recently moved to a different city and I'm already missing the classes, the students, and the teachers. This place is one of a kind.

    love it! Especially the union square location, beautiful and they have a gym included in the membership (no extra cost!). Got everything I was looking for as an alternative for the boring workout at the gym and I'm glad I found it. The classes are cool, intense and I love that I'm learning something new each time.
