"For the first time in my life, I feel like I can protect myself! Magen training is unlike anything I have ever done, and having been attacked three different times, I have tried several different things. Other ‘self-defense’ courses and styles of martial arts (unless you’re a pro) I have done weren’t even close to being realistic in the real world. Most teach things that would only anger an attacker, I know because I’ve experienced it. Magen focuses on how to neutralize, or absolutely stun and immobilize someone so that you can get away and it has given me a sense of security that I have never had in my life. Thank you Magen!"

"Chanan is a very knowledgeable, discipline, methodical and patience trainer that’s passionate on really having the student understand the foundations of Krav Maga. He will spend the necessary time to make sure you are on track before moving forward. I recommend this training to whoever is looking to not only get to Krav Maga but being serious about self-defense."

"Magen Krav Maga is one of the best training experiences I have ever invested my time in. Chanan's passion for sharing his knowledge of self-defense and years of hands on experience with each and everyone one of his students from beginner to advanced is second to NONE. I have learned so much from him and feel better equipped if for any reason I find myself in a threatening situation."

"Chanan, from Magen Krav Maga, is truly an expert in his field.  The training classes that he has developed are truly essential for the times we live in. The information and techniques that I have learnt in this class by far surpass all the other self-defense training classes that I have ever taken. Each session brings a new and challenging experience. I Highly recommend!"

"One of the greatest surprises for me during this journey was the heightened level of my situational awareness.  You develop a keen sense of your environment and the body language of the people around you.  The training also prepares you to "think ahead" of any potential situation meaning; if I see someone approaching in a potentially aggressive manner, I intuitively look for my way out of the situation proactively.  You will also calmly develop a game plan in your head to defend yourself if required.  I can tell you as a traveler for business, I have experienced this real time as an example where someone changed their direction of walking toward me suspiciously (Cleveland at 5am waiting for an Uber to the airport) where my eye contact and readiness in my stance changed this person's approach, I also knew exactly what to do "if" this person decided to try and lunge for my computer bag his was focused on.   Seems like my attitude and demeanor telegraphed that I may not be an easy mark and to move on."
