Machatz Urban Self-Defense

"I've had the absolute pleasure of training with Shlomo at Machatz. He is a true master in every sense. The classes are incredibly comprehensive, fostering skill development, refining posture, establishing a connection between the mind and movements, and emphasizing the importance of breath. Beyond physical benefits, these classes also contribute significantly to the well-being of the soul. What sets Machatz apart is the commitment to excellence. Shlomo's mastery in martial arts shines through, creating an environment that is both challenging and supportive. The focus on real-world applications makes every lesson incredibly useful, leaving me with a sense of security and assurance. Whether you're a beginner or have prior experience, the classes cater to all levels, ensuring everyone gets the attention they need to thrive. I started at zero and, with every class and new skill learned, I’ve been building the confidence to defend myself effectively. If the occasion arises where I must apply what Shlomo has taught me, I am confident that I will be well-prepared. If you're looking for a place where the instructor's expertise, dedication, and understanding elevate your skills and confidence, look no further. It's not just a training ground; it's a transformative experience."

"As a student at Machatz Urban Self-Defense, my experience transcends the physicality of self-defense maneuvers. Master Shlomo Kapeinikov’s tutelage is holistic, melding mind, body, and spirit into the curriculum. His teachings are not just about reacting to threats, but about reshaping my mental responses to challenges—transformative in every sense. Post-hip replacement, regaining strength was an uphill battle, yet through personalized guidance from Master Shlomo, I’ve marked significant improvements across the board. Physically, I’m stronger; emotionally, more resilient; and spiritually, I’ve discovered a profound sense of empowerment. The current times deem self-defense crucial, and Machatz delivers impeccably. To say I recommend Master Shlomo’s classes is an understatement; I endorse them with every fiber of my being. If you seek an extraordinary mentor and a path to true self-empowerment, I recommend Machatz Urban Self-Defense."

"I've been practicing Machatz for many years and can attribute positive changes in my physical strength, martial arts ability, overall health and self-confidence to my training. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Machatz to anyone interested in self-defense, exercise, and weight and fitness training."

"Watch a few of their videos online- you will be much better off spending your money with a real martial arts school. I feel bad that people are paying for this "school""

"I went there when I was fifteen years old, I haven’t been there for a while, but what this place taught me was honor, respect and to be honest. You can go here with no experience and so many questions and come out of here with the right answers. I wish I still lived in the area. Best investments in my life. Thank you Shlomo."
