On multiple occasions, when faced with knife wielding individuals, Officer Rosati did not need to go for his gun. He would disarm the “perps”, saving lives and protecting innocent bystanders.

This is the kind of real life training Rosati Krav Maga provides, which “dojo experience only” trainers cannot offer.

Rosati Krav Maga – Learn REAL Krav Maga

“Yes, Our Krav Maga is based on the Israeli Krav Maga System, but we use the Reality Check that the average American isn’t walking around with an M4 Rifle, Uzi, or even with a Pistol. So we designed an unarmed System for Americans.” – Michael “Hanshi” Rosati

“I began training with Michael J. Rosati Sr. in 1985 at the Rosati School of Martial Arts. Since then, Hanshi Rosati has added Krav Maga and Reality Based Self Defense to the School. Most of the techniques that we use can be utilized in Military or Law Enforcement. The straight forward, dynamic training methods and techniques seamlessly carry into practical use and I often incorporate them into training with my peers at work. The results have always been outstanding and the training has become a part of my life.”

“I worked Midnights with Mike Rosati in NYPD in East New York in the 75 Precinct. During that time, I witnessed him safely gain compliance with emotionally disturbed individuals and suspects resisting arrest, as well as disarming many knife wielding perps.”

Chris Rykert NYPD (Retired)

“First, I’d like to thank you for coming to Israel to teach us.
All of the beginner students including myself, were worried, but after a few minutes with you, you made us feel relaxed, and ready to learn. I loved your quiet charisma, and the respect that you gave everyone.
You allowed us to ask questions, and it was great. I enjoyed the variety of the different drills, and the focus on the flow, which was great. It was refreshing.
You gave all of us special attention, and we loved it. You knew when to give a good word, and when and how to give us corrections. When you saw that we got the drill you gave us the next level. You let everyone advance at their own pace.
You taught us different ways that a woman can defend herself against a male attacker! I had a great experience.  Looking forward to next time!“
