AIKI Krav Maga

About AIKI Krav Maga

I grew up in Israel. Krav Maga wasn't a hobby there — it was how you stayed alive. I don't teach people to fight. I teach them to trust the body they already have. Most self-defense classes fill your head with techniques you'll forget the moment someone actually grabs you. I work differently. We start with what your body already knows — the reflexes, the instincts, the survival system that's been running since you were born — and we build from there. My clients don't just learn to protect themselves. They walk differently. They breathe differently. They carry themselves differently. People around them notice, even if they can't explain why. I work privately — one on one, on your schedule, at your location or mine. Sessions are 60 minutes. No group chaos. No waiting in line. Just you, your body, and the version of yourself you haven't met yet. Who this is for: - People who've never trained before and feel nervous about starting - Women who want real-world safety skills without a gym full of strangers - Parents who want to protect their families - Professionals who want confidence that shows up in every room - Anyone who's been told they're "not the fighting type" What makes this different: - Based on Israeli Krav Maga — designed for real situations, not tournaments - We work WITH your body's instincts, not against them - Private sessions only — tailored to YOUR body, YOUR fears, YOUR life - The skills transfer to everything: work, relationships, how you walk down the street I train in NYC (Manhattan, Brooklyn) and NJ (Bergen County, Passaic). Free 15-minute phone consultation before we start. No pressure. Just a conversation.

Reviews

“Eliran is a rare find. He teaches without ego. Eliran focuses on my empowerment, rather than his own status. He ensures my successes belong to me, and does not take ownership of my progress. Eliran has a great sense of humor and doesn't take himself too seriously. He is approachable and if I can say this, he makes it fun to make mistakes while learning. I put a lot of pressure on myself to succeed and he helps lessen that critical “voice in my head.” I leave every session feeling safer and more capable. Eliran has allowed me to begin to discover my *own power* and safety.”
