Krav Maga & Self-Defense Classes
First and third Wednesdays of each month, 6:00-7:00 PM
NAGLY Salem
​
Krav Maga is a system of self-defense developed by the Israeli military, and first taught to the public by Mr. Imi Lichtenfeld, the system founder. Krav Maga is not a combat sport but rather a simple and effective fighting system designed for self-protection and is intended to be practical and instinctive regardless of age, gender identity, or physical size.
​
The program offered at NAGLY will teach students to avoid situations with preventative and de-escalation methods and to respond to common attack scenarios while developing their self-defense capacity.
​
Our instructor, Mike Leonard, began practicing Krav Maga in 1994. Mike holds the rank of sixth-degree black belt (M1) and is a second-generation student to the system founder.
​
Open to Middle school-aged youth to age 23, including staff/volunteers

Prism is a new, youth-led drama club at NAGLY. The club will strive to give queer youth the opportunity to explore their own voices, bodies, emotions, and identities through theater arts.
