Gung-Ho self-defense classes - Natick, Massachusetts

Marisha M

My son has been doing karate and wrestling for many years before,
but this class is working much better for teen boy's needs.

This class is based on self-defense, street fight, real life skills.
My son is eagerly waiting for the classes and he feels much more confident now, in case any situation arises or he is attacked.
Also classes are in our house, so no need in driving and
teacher is very easy to communicate with for any schedule adjustment.

I've been training with Alex in Natick for a couple of years. He is a great trainer, does a lot of teaching that would definitely help in a real life. Great workout for girls-instead of gym, and very useful at the same time.
Alex is very helpful in everything, tries to make each training day interesting and special.

One of the best self-defense training you can find in the Boston/Massachusetts area. If one is looking for the self-defense techniques that work in the real world from the instructor that has an extensive military and civilian training background, give this gym a chance. This is not a self-defense class taught by the traditional martial arts instructors. The closest styles I would compare it to, would be an Israeli Krav-maga or Russian Systema.
I have been training with Instructor Alex for a few years. I came to his gym with a background in tae-kwondo and krav-maga. My original intention was to improve my punching/boxing skills. A friend of mine highly recommended Alex. He was absolutely right.
Alex tailors his individual or small group classes to the persons physical ability and martial arts experience or lack of. His techniques are focused on doing whatever is necessary to survive the real world dangerous situations.

My 14 year old has been going to Gung-Ho for about 5 years. Alex is very professional, insightful and experienced in the art of hand to hand combat, street fighting for self defense. Genuinely a nice person who is concerned about his students. My son has gained a lot of confidence, “Street Smart’s” and is not afraid of confrontation, but measured in the use of his skills as different situations require. Definitely a worthwhile investment in anyone’s well being.

My son attended a few martial art/self-defense schools and this is the best one. It teaches self-defense for real-life settings. Besides, each class is an excellent workout for the child. Without any reservations, I will give this place five stars.

If your looking for real world training, I would highly recommend working with Alex. His background, personality and experience is a rare opportunity to have available to the public. He will customize a program that works for you, or where you want to go with it. I have seen young teens and adults excel under his training. Excellent gym to learn or continue your advanced skills...this place is REAL!

Very thoughtful teacher who's goal is to prepare you for real life situations, both physically and mentally. His lessons are very engaging, and although based on previous knowledge, always adjusted to your natural abilities and prepare for new skills. Studio has different custom-made equipment.
Highly recommend!
