Excellent teacher, excellent class
Excellent teacher, excellent class
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is right now. I was worried I was tool old to start a martial art.
Then, I have found IKM Carlsbad and Benjamin 3 years ago and have been training there for 3 years now. The instructor is very encouraging and patient while being focused on proper technique.
The classes are getting bigger every month and there's a very big range of students. That's really great news because complete beginners don't feel out of their comfort zone and they will find more advance students to train with and improve while advanced students will also find other advanced students to work with.
Techniques when taught are broken down in small steps and repeated a few times. Then the whole technique is done as a whole.
At the end of the class there's almost always some conditioning as well.

This class is fantastic! I started taking classes because I was looking for a fun, new workout. I was tired of running, tired of yoga, tired of boot camp classes. I needed a new class to keep me interested and in shape. Krav Maga Carlsbad was an amazing workout! Muscles I didn't even know I had are sore, and I'm definitely more toned.
More importantly, I feel safer walking my dog or walking to my car at night, because I know proper self defense. Whether you're looking to learn defense moves or looking to lose weight, this class is exactly what you need!
I've been going here for about a month and I love this place. I started attending Krav Maga Carlsbad IKM for personal enrichment, and also because I had been attacked in the past. I wanted to learn how to defend myself, and to never be a victim again. Never before have I been more passionate and dedicated to an exercise regime, and there are so many reasons to want to come back here. Though every teacher has a different style of practice, they are all equally encouraging, and they change up exercises to keep you excited and to keep your body challenged.
If you're looking for a practical and challenging, well-run program conducted by instructors who will work hard to see that you meet the standards, I highly recommend IKM. Thanks again to Benjamin, the other Instructors, and all the students. I look forward to continuing the training!
Benjamin is very knowledgeable and welcoming. I leave every class with the feeling that I learned something and I'm a little better at defending myself. I also like if you have a question about something, he's more than happy to slow everything down and make sure you have the right technique.
Benjamin is a masterful instructor and practitioner who makes sure each one of us is learning well and safely, regardless of our level. I enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the mix of students--all ages and backgrounds are represented. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in getting in shape and learning practical techniques from an expert who is kind and patient, yet pushes you when he thinks you're ready for it.
I had studied Krav Maga at another studio in North San Diego County for many years. It was run more like a workout session, there was no testing and no accountability for precise technique. I got bored and became a couch potato for five years.
Then I heard rumor of this amazing instructor who had extensively studied and teaches actual Israeli based IKM Krav Maga. In fact, some of his training is directly from Gabi Noah, one of the proteges of the founder of Krav Maga, Imi Lichtenfeld.
I finally found him and jumped back into training. He's running Krav Maga Carlsbad out of a karate studio in the southern end of coastal Carlsbad (right off the 5 and Palomar Airport Road). The current students represent a very broad range of skill sets. There are true beginners (male and female) that are fun to help and watch them go from the very first day and unsure of themselves to actually having some self defense skills. Then there are those who are definitely more accomplished than me and are an honor to workout with because of how much I progress.
Benjamin Halcewicz is the real deal. He has an amazing ability to teach, observe and push in precisely the right amount needed by the individual student at that particular time. No more and no less.
I strongly encourage ANYONE who has ever even thought about self defense training in any form to go talk to Benjamin Halcewicz and Krav Maga Carlsbad.
