What Krav Maga Did for Me (And Why I Wish I Started Sooner)

Real Self Defense Albany NY, Latham NY

Most people think their best years are behind them by the time they hit their 60s. Greg is living proof they are wrong.

At 64, he’s stronger, faster, and more capable than he was two decades ago. After ten years of consistent Krav Maga self defense training at Empire Defense & Fitness, Greg isn’t just in shape…he’s in command of his life.

In the video below, Greg shares what this training has done for him – physically, mentally, and emotionally. He reflects on how much stronger he feels now compared to his younger years and how this system has helped him build the kind of confidence you can’t fake.

Krav Maga gave him more than self-defense. It gave him purpose.

“This isn’t about being the toughest guy in the room. It’s about being ready – for anything.”

That’s what we teach here. Real self-defense for real life. No fluff. No belts for show. Just the skills that matter, the strength that lasts, and the mindset that pushes you to level up.

And like Greg, many of our students say the same thing:
