Tony Cohen has been teaching military Krav Maga to professional personnel for decades, and civilian classes since 2011 upon separation from the State of Israel. He has notable students like Daniel Craig and Clive Owen. Tony is an active member of the Ocean Beach community, and cares about everyone’s safety; and as such has come out of retirement specifically to assist our group of women with some self-defense classes.

Tony is one of the few instructors that are licensed to teach Military level classes to civilians. His course does not use a belt system, and is not meant to require repeat classes in order to complete the training. (Although you are welcome to attend multiple classes for refreshers/practice)

These intensives will focus heavily on situational awareness, and reactive self-defense with the intent to remove yourself from a dangerous situation. This is not a fighting class, nor is it intended for you to use in a sport-based manner, or exercise routine.

 

**Please note the following items:

• These courses require a minimum number of participants in order to rehearse the self-defense moves being taught. If the minimum number of participants is not met, we will reach out with a cancellation notification, with the option for a refund or a transfer to another date.
• The techniques taught in this course could prove fatal to the attacker you are defending against, and as such, a full liability waiver is required from all participants.
• Participation in the course also implies approval to be recorded on video or photographed for promotional purposes for future events.
