I have been going there for 7years. Gabby the owner not only is my teacher but has become my friend. The community of KMX is awesome some of the most amazing people I have met. As someone with a Karate background it is good to do a self defense style of fighting than a tournament style of fighting. This is a useful system for everyone.

After a few upsetting situations at our Middle School with chronic bullying, I figured the only way our son could break the cycle would be to learn self-defense. I had heard of Krav Maga and knew this would alleviate my fears for him. I discovered this amazing family-run business and I'm satisfied thus far. Gaby and his son...the owners, are very welcoming and immediately offered my son and daughter a private lesson. The class so far has given them a boost of confidence as well as skills to protect themselves if need be. Unlike Tae Kwon Do, they can utilize these skills in real-life situations to mitigate an attack either on themselves or their friends. I'm considering doing it myself. It's a great workout!

If you are looking for a convivial place to exercise, train or learn self defense, this is IT ! I particularly appreciate that, in this particular club, there are no felt hierarchy, no ritual, no exotic garb or strict rules. Although I trained in various groups more or less influenced by Asia, I do enjoy the completely "Western" feel of this place. You can choose to do hard or light work and good humor is totally allowed if you feel for it ! This is also a place where there is no competition: one works with one's (occasionally limited) potentials. Whether you are tired, slow or fast learner, if you wish to improve, it will start with you and all the instructors will kindly support you. In my view it is an ideal (and lively) place because it includes friends of all strength , gender and ages (from quite a few teenagers to a few elders like me --I am 69 ). One of the beauty of Krav Maga ( and I have a limited view of it since I only practiced here for 3 months) is its directness and short moves: no (lengthy) combination of movements (Forms or Katas), just a vast number of ways to defend yourself. And If you are in awe with what the body can do, as I am, and if there is not enough with your choices between the conditioning or cardio and Krav maga sessions, you can take a bi-weekly classes in Brazilian Jujitsu ( ground tactics). It is an ideal place, because you can choose to be either relax or intense. You can train every day of the week, use the free gym, talk to the head instructor, Gaby, for however long you wish, and all that for a fee that seems to me a generous deal. The first two sessions are free so it is hard to make a bad choice !!

My son is been coming here for classes for years. It has been a completely positive experience. I also enjoy seeing how many women come here to take classes. It is a very friendly environment run by good people.

Excellent program - efficient teaching of useful skills, and a friendly environment. You should believe the other positive reviews that you read about Krav Maga in Albany. Gaby, the owner sets the tone with a welcoming personality, knowledge and encouragement. His instructors all seem to follow through on this. I came here after my teenage son had a bad experience at another martial arts program, and he felt great after his time at Krav Maga. I will be sending some of my other kids also.

Took my very first classes with Gaby and learned so much! Krav Maga provides very practical strategies for self-defense. I found particularly helpful as a woman. In the very first class, Gaby taught us some basic defense that was remarkably effective at breaking away from various holds of an attacker. I also learned to appreciate the philosophy of Krav Maga which espouses de-escalation of conflict, not escalation. I will definitely be taking more classes!

This Place is amazing! My two boys, ages 10 and 12, love the class. The team is super friendly and good with what they do. As a parent it makes me feel good to know that my kids learn how to defend themselves and at the same time have fun. And on top of it it's affordable. Highly recommend this place for kids and adults

I recently completed six months of training with my son. All the instructors are very good and helpful. We both learned a lot and it certainly boosted our confidence that we could take care of ourselves if we needed to. It's hard work and you sometimes get a little bruised but it's worth it. I highly recommend Krav maga Xtreme

Giving them a one star based on their cancelation/business practices. if you do not cancel your membership one month in advance, they will charge you for the next month of service. if you are like me and got a job somewhere else with little notice (but still enough time) and do not make a lot of money, they won't be understanding.
