From the reviews
As said by everyone else who has written a review...Gus is the Man! You can tell the second you shake his hand that he is a very focused and driven individual that is truly passionate about his work.
Chief Instructor Gus Bottazzi's Israeli Krav Maga is the premier Krav Maga facility I have found in the all of Westchester and Fairfield County. Gus has created a studio that provides the perfect blend of warmth and welcoming, yet serious, challenging, and to-the-point.
I have been involved in martial arts for practically my entire life. I have trained in various disciplines and find the curriculum at Gus' studio to be superior to any other. It is truly focused on "self-defense" and he focuses on what works for the individual as opposed to a rigid "kata" format.
I've been to several other Krav Maga studios in the area and this place is by far the best. I wanted to learn Krav Maga because my job at the time had me ending my shift late at night, walking through parking decks alone and arriving home late.
Your first kickboxing class at Israeli Krav Maga-CT
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
