Krav Maga Yashir Boston offers personalized private and small group Krav Maga training tailored to meet individuals/groups specific needs. The curriculum taught mirrors that of our regular classes, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the Krav Maga Yashir system i.e., those taking private/small group lessons get the same training that is provided in our regular public classes. The exception to this is if you are an individual working in the security industry or military etc., who is looking for a specific type of training, such as handcuffing techniques/methods, tactical baton training etc. We don’t offer military training to non-military personnel etc., and so private lessons and training should not be seen as a way of accessing this type of training.

Whilst private lessons offer individualized attention, we generally recommend that it is better/more effective to participate in our regular group classes. Training in a group setting allows you to work with a diverse range of partners (people of different sizes, builds and athletic ability etc.), that will better prepare yourself for real-world situations. The dynamic environment of larger classes also facilitates realistic scenarios and drills (teaching multiple attacker drills is extremely difficult in a one-on-one setting, enhancing your learning experience. Whilst training one-on-one can offer certain benefits most people progress faster training with different partners rather than with just one (the instructor). It is worth noting that Krav Maga – from its military origins - was always designed to be taught and practiced in a group setting, rather than one-on-one.

If you're considering private training, we encourage you to first attend one of our Beginner Krav Maga Classes. This introduction will provide insight into our system and help determine if group classes, rather than private ones, align with your goals. Our head instructor, Gershon Ben Keren, designed these sessions and these classes introduce participants to the foundations of the Krav Maga Yashir system and are the best place to start your training.

To inquire about private lessons, please use the contact form at the bottom of this page. We cannot guarantee that Gershon Ben Keren or members of our instructor team have availability in their schedules to conduct private Krav Maga lessons as priority for this type of instruction is given to current members who are focusing on specific areas of improvement. Our facility is located at 165-E New Boston Street, Woburn, MA 01801, offering convenient access for students in the Boston area (our training facility has free on-site parking).
