Urban Krav Maga

Instructor

Gershon Ben-Karen

Very experienced instructor across a range of Krav Maga styles, black belt in judo and former national team squad member. Teaches Urban Krav Maga and his own MMA system GBK Fighting Systems.

I am also a qualified Redman Simulation Suit trainer/instructor who has been trained in how to conduct scenario based training i.e. setting up real-life scenarios, using instructors and students wearing special protective equipment. Before 1999 I practised Judo (I hold a 2nd Dan black belt and have competed at National level), Wrestling (Freestyle & Greco Roma) and several styles of traditional Jiu Jutsu. l continue to train in Brazilian Jiu Jutsu, no-gi submission wrestling and Vale Tudo. As well as being a martial artist I am also an experienced personal trainer having certifications is sports conditioning, exercise & nutrition, personal training etc from the YMCA and HIFI. All my classes involve a core component of Cosher Kravi (Combat Fitness), as street survival is greatly increased if individuals possess a good level of 'task orientated' fitness i.e. they are fit enough to survive the intensity of a street fight once the adrenaline rush is gone.
