“It was very important to me to learn from a real Israeli, trained and instructor in the IDF. When I came to Roy, I was hesitant if I could participate due to my physical limitations. I am a two time cancer survivor and also had strength and coordination issues. He was so encouraging, and would always keep an eye out if I needed an alternative exercise to do. I never got injured. He always pushed my limits and I got stronger and more confident than I ever had in my physical abilities. Not only is he an amazing first rate instructor, he understands the mechanics of the body and never makes you feel different if you have limitations to deal with. Anyone can do Krav Maga, it has been an amazing experience!”

“After I got back from a trip to Israel I knew I wanted to learn Krav Maga. I went to another place and it seemed so much like an exercise class..Fine for burning calories but that’s about it. Also the classes were really large. Then I went to Krav Maga LA. Roy teaches everything- self-defense, fighting, and you get an amazing work out while doing it! He is really serious about teaching and pushes you to your maximum potential. Also, as a woman I am feeling so much more empowered! I can walk down the street at night and feel like if someone messes with me I can take em down. I would recommend Krav Maga LA to women, men, children, ANYONE!‎”

“I am an American who volunteered to serve in the IDF (Israel Defence Forces). I served under Roy Elghanayan, and I can promise you this; he is the absolute 110% real deal! The instruction we received from Roy in the Israeli Army was an essential part of our becoming qualified soldiers in the Special Forces (marines). He was well known as THE BEST, and still is. Roy is an excellent teacher who is capable of guiding his students to learn and achieve more than even they may have thought possible. I would highly recommend Roy’s class at Krav Maga L.A. to anyone who wants to learn the real stuff from the source… just without the M4 assault rifles.”

“I have trained all over the world, practiced Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, Wing Chun, Kung Fu and MMA, and I have been through intensive courses in the US military. But what Roy brings to Krav Maga is a blend of physical conditioning, fighting techniques, and self-defense that leaves you confident, strong, and able to defend yourself, whether it be against a common criminal, or a trained terrorist.Roy’s Krav Maga program is by far the most practical, useful martial arts program I have participated in. His first hand knowledge training Israeli Special Operations Forces leaves him far more qualified and capable than the competition.”

“This is what it is all about, learning from the best in the field. I feel privileged to train with Roy. He is a great instructor, his workouts are always challenging, and he is attentive to the specific training and fitness needs of students. Great experience!‎”
