Krav Maga is an Israeli self defense that was originally developed for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) by Imi Lichtenfeld in the 1930s. Our lead instructor comes from a direct lineage from Imi. Krav Maga is known for using simultaneous offensive and defensive techniques that are built off natural human reactions.
Krav has taken different techniques from other martial arts and made it their own while specializing in no rules street defense and weapons defenses. Our owner and lead instructor has been living in Westchester for the past twenty two years. He actually started his martial arts journey in Westchester with Tae Kwon Do before venturing off into other systems.

360 Self Defense Academy is my favorite of the three self defense/krav maga gyms I've been to. Ricky is friendly and professional and and gives helpful, individualized feedback. The other instructors I've had are great too. The classes are small, so you get lots of individualized attention. There's a lot of focus on form, and you get an intense workout. Prices are reasonable compared to other krav gyms in the area. Basically everything I was looking for in a gym!

360 is the best Krav gym I have been to. The instructors are all very kind and helpful. The gym is kept very clean and is well managed. They also offer plenty of classes from Krav, Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, yoga, and more. The gym is also very reasonably priced compared to other gyms of the same caliber. The gym is not large and gives a more personalized experience to each member. I can not recommend this gym enough to anyone looking to join a Krav gym.

360 Self Defense Academy is a great gym to train at. They have amazing instructors who have a lot of experience and who are really friendly and patient with everyone. They give you immediate feedback and try to help you become better every day. You not only get to work on technique but also get a great workout.
Also, place is really clean! Unlike some other gyms I’ve been to who don’t clean their mats. Highly recommend to anyone to come train at 360!!

Have done two cardio boxing classes since gyms reopend. Ricky is an awesome instructor who is well versed in krav maga, brazilian jiu jitsu, kick boxing. He is super friendly while still pushing you. A lot of space between heavy bags, bags and floor cleaned between sessions. Great socially distanced work out

I took a one-hour introduction to Krav Maga class with the lead instructor, Ricky. I have zero martial arts or self-defense experience.
I like that the class was small. Ricky provided great instruction. In addition to teaching proper technique, he explained why techniques are done the way they are. For example, keeping your arms and hands closer to your body helps to prevent an attacker from being able to anticipate what you're about to do.
Ricky pushed me to challenge myself but not so much that I felt discouraged.
The facility is clean. All of the equipment is new and in excellent condition

360SD is the best place I’ve trained at! All the instructors are very knowledgeable in self defense and challenge me every single time I train. I not only get self defense training, but I also get a good workout. The mats are always super clean, which makes it more comfortable to train especially when I do Jiu Jitsu. I highly recommend anyone who wants to get a good workout or learn self defense to come train at 360 Self Defense Academy!
