Be strong. Be confident. Be safe.
Self Defense
Krav Maga is a reality-based self defense system, developed and battle-tested in Israel. It has been taught to thousands of law enforcement officers, US military forces, and civilians in the United States.
In XKM Midtown, you will learn the most effective techniques from other disciplines – like boxing, judo, kick boxing, jiu jitstu, and wrestling – applied in the most explosive ways to defend against different chokes, bear hugs, multiple attackers and weapons.
Fitness
Practicing Krav won’t just make you safer. It will also get you into the the best shape of your life. In addition to our Krav Maga classes, we’ll offer Kickboxing, Cardio Kick Boxing, Fitness Bootcamps, and Yoga.
And everyone is welcome! Our classes are for all ages, body shapes and skill levels.
“Every opportunity to train with Omar is well worth the time and effort.
As expected with any instructor, he is extremely knowledgeable but Omar goes above and beyond to work with his students.
He really takes the time to explain the techniques and makes sure everyone is implementing them properly.
Omar’s classes are high energy and he will help make your best even better…guaranteed.”
Allison Raskin
“I have been taking krav classes from Omar for over a year. Omar always finds the right balance between encouragement and constructive criticism to help you improve without feeling self conscious.
His classes provide a good mix of intense training with some fun, and he is excellent at coaching people of all skill levels based on their individual needs.
There’s always something new to learn or improve, and you’ll never have a chance to get bored with a routine.”

Where did Krav Maga come from?
Krav Maga is much bigger than our Midtown branch.
We are affiliated with Xtreme Krav Maga in Fenton, which has been making people safer for the past 9 years and counting!
Both of these gyms belong to the organization, Krav Maga Worldwide {link}, the largest reality-based self-defense organization in the world and industry leader in Krav Maga-based self-defense, fitness, and combat.
But Krav is older than any of these organizations…
In 1910, Imi Lichtenfeld, the founder of Krav Maga was born. Throughout his life, he competed in martial arts, fought against Fascist gangs, moved to what is now Israel, and began training the Israeli Defense Forces.
