MacDonald Academy of Martial Arts
Kenpo Karate, Krav Maga, and Fitness for the Boston / Watertown area
Announcements and news from the Academy for all students
All students are welcome to watch the test or participate alongside the students testing. Even if you’re not being graded, the test is an excellent review of the curriculum as well as an intense physical and mental challenge.
We will have prep classes as we near the test. Review the Level 1 Curriculum [printer friendly / PDF] and bring any questions to class so that we may help you best prepare. You can also post any questions to the comments below.
Good luck!
All students must have a signed Intent to Promote form and schedule a testing time via the sign-up form below.
All participants must be Krav Maga Advanced students or otherwise approved by the instructor.
The instructor is Tim Burke. Says Tim:
The goal of the class is to increase the strength and endurance of every participant as it relates to “stand up” fighting combinations. We will build on the basic Bas Rutten workout combinations and incorporate Muay Thai pads. Different from our normal Krav Maga training classes where we might spend half the time on conditioning and half the time on technique, this class will be geared more towards dedicated conditioning with longer periods of rest and recovery. The class will have very little instruction and focus more on punching and kicking stronger, faster, and longer.
Classes will be limited to 10 participants due to space and equipment restraints and will be on a first-come, first-served basis via sign-up at the school. (See the dry erase board by the stairs to Training Room 2).
We will be holding a FREE seminar for new Krav Maga students on Saturday, January 14th, from 2 to 3:30pm.
The seminar will be an overview of the Fundamentals curriculum, comprised mostly of Krav Maga Level 1 material.
Space is limited, so please sign up with the form below. We also request that only new students who have not yet been through the entire Fundamentals cycle attend.
Our instructors are highly trained and certified in their respective disciplines. Brian … Learn More
