NYC Jews embrace Krav Maga - self-defense technique pioneered by IDF forces - to 'feel safer' amid rise of antisemitism
Briefly

"October 7th sent an electric current through the Jewish community," Master Rhon Mizrachi stated, noting a surge in enrollments at Krav Maga schools post-October 7.
"Add the pro-Hamas and openly antisemitic environment and there was another wave of Jews joining," Mizrachi shared, emphasizing that many had not prioritized self-defense until now.
Avi Abraham remarked, "My classes for teenagers have especially increased since October 7 - by as much as 40% - with most of those new students being Jewish."
Matan Gavish observed, "Many of these women have shifted from traditional fitness activities... because our programs not only keep them in shape but also equip them with vital self-defense skills."
