Krav Maga Self Defense and Fitness Center Opens in Livingston

On Sunday, Sept. 14, Krav Maga Family Self-Defense & Hybrid Fitness Center kicked off it’s grand opening by holding free self defense classes for individuals and families of all ages.

Krav Maga, which is Hebrew for “combat contact,” is a self defense system that was developed for the Israeli military. Krav Maga incorporates elements of boxing, wrestling, and judo.

“Everyone was smiling, sweating, and happy,” Krav Maga Center owner, Marina Goldin said to the The Alternative Press. The website reported that all participants enjoyed a intense workout that incorporated self defense techniques and game-like activities.

Pediatric Gastroenterologist Dr. Nadia Ovchinsky told the website that the event was a “great work out” and that “the teachers are dedicated and demanding.”

Classes are held at 113 South Livingston Ave., Suite 3 in Livingston, in the space formerly occupied by Edible Arrangements. To learn more about the center, click here.
