Mr. Glikman is a professional instructor who behaves accordingly with all students regardless of gender or cultural background. He has served as a mentor to several young adults and has inspired them to find a goal in their lives they can identify with. He uses techniques that are efficient and practical in today’s environment all around . I highly recommend him.

I’m not a gym Person.I liked the idea of self defense, (especially as a woman and mother)..I also presumed this would be a short cardio workout not forgetting the opportunity to get leaner.. .. enter KravMaga. I was Introduced by a friend... thank you Sara!!Hooray.. so, so pleased.The instructor Philip is a man of Skill, he’s knowledgeable, eager to help all ages in his class to learn, he drives us.Philip is focused and professional, his attention to detail is invaluable.He provides clear and precise instructions, I have never felt left behind on any moves.Philip also brings added bonus to the KravMaga class by educating us with snippets of stories coupled with visual examples and his smooth coaching skills, not forgetting his humor.Did I mention, I knew nothing about self defense and had no previous experience and Philips drive to help me to succeed in each move is why I’m still here 12 lessons on.All levels are welcome. All ages are welcome.So leave any concerns or egos at the door, drop your excuses and just do it ... you might just amaze yourself. Allow this great instructor to guide you to be more assertive of your surroundings, to be more assertive of your body control, to be more assertive of your mind.... learn to be street wise and prepare YOU for the unprepared!, Whilst,, creating an agile body and sharp mind.. who wouldn’t want that???Looking forward to meeting new members.

Philippe is one of the best Krav Maga expert I had the chance to train with. His human qualities mix with a strong psychology analysis allow me to boost my Krav Maga level tremendously. Needless to say that he masters all Krav Maga aspects from simple technics to most advanced. I highly recommend to try Krav Maga with Philippe, it’s a live changer !!!

Great club and fantastic welcoming from Philip and the team there. Good intense training and educational background into OIS Emeth Kravmaga. Session was built up from basics to advance letting the students see the spectrum of the system, but also leaving the class with a great exercise. Would love to come for another session next time I am in Miami.

Review №16

Taking Philips class for the past year has been one of the best experiences of my adult life. I had no martial arts background and did not know what to expect but I knew I wanted to be able to take responsibility for my own self defense if absolutely necessary.Krav Maga is a fascinating, comprehensive, and challenging system of martial arts and one that is designed to be used by anyone no matter their size, stature, background etc. Every class we learned something new, everything from how to properly throw a hook to various gun and knife defenses while still building on the fundamentals established in earlier classes. Philip does a masterful job of running a class that is equally informative for those who have studied for many years or someone taking their first class. There is no jumping on point as a potential student could start at any given class and not feel overwhelmingly behind.And then there is Philip himself. One does not need to spend more than a minute speaking with him and seeing him practice to know that he is an absolute master in his field. The fact that any person could show up to Philips class and for the cost of admission learn 1.5 to 2 hours of Krav Maga from someone with his skill and experience in Miami is frankly unbelievable and is an opportunity that should not be missed by anyone. Philip is a man that knows thousands of ways to defends himself with ruthless efficiency and yet he is incredibly approachable and respectful towards his students. Whether there are 3 other students in a given class or 20 it feels almost like a private class given how much personal attention he gives individually to each student, analyzing their every move. Lastly, Philip is an inspiring motivator. There was more than one occasion when I would be having a difficult week only to leave class inspired for the rest of the week by his vast life experiences, his creative explanations/analogies, and his desire for each of his students to get better. Philips desire for his students to progress is evident in the general environment of his class, as everyone you meet and practice with is eager to help each other improve, no matter their skill level.I have just moved from Miami and although I have been lucky to make many amazing friends during my time there, it is this class that I will miss most of all.

Philip is committed to seeing his students learn to love the process of acquiring proficiency in Krav Maga, and brings along an extensive knowledge of the martial system to the class. He is a generous teacher, which is a mark of excellence. Furthermore, he creates a welcoming atmosphere for new students. I cannot praise enough his ability to foster this sort of atmosphere. His students are quite diverse, and each class session has had a wonderful mix of people: young and old, male and female, proficient at Krav Maga or at the beginners level--all are welcome, all are invited, and your classmates genuinely want to see you succeed, as does Philip. If you are looking for a martial arts class that focuses on practicality in an environment that encourages you to learn, then Philips class is the way to go.

I started going to Philippes group classes a couple years ago, and its been an extremely enriching experience, I havent once regretted it.Let me tell you this: Youll never get bored or look at your watch once, its fast paced, and varied with all sorts of exercises and techniques, its totally different from a traditional gym workout.Its worth every penny because believe me, youll feel better and more confident at the end of each session, as opposed to just shedding a few calories.Philippe is one of the nicest people I have ever met, but when its time to train, he will adapt to your level and push you to limits you didnt know you had.If youre doing it wrong, he will tell you immediately, but always in a polite and courteous way.This guy seriously knows his job and does it with a passion, you just dont find such trustworthy, devoted individuals like that on every street corner.If you dont wanna take my word for it, a quick search online can show you his credentials and what hes accomplished. Hes trained various law enforcement agencies worldwide over the years.I just cant recommend him enough.If you want to learn self defense techniques, while exercising and coming home with more knowledge, you owe it to yourself to try a class.But, like potato chips, you cant take just one.

If you are looking for a great cardiovascular workout and self defense this is the class and person to train with. Whether you are a novice or looking to improve your self-defense, repertoire Phillipe is patient and pays attention to finite details so that you respond well to threatening situations. He not only trains you to defend yourself, but trains you to be aware of your surroundings to avoid situations. I went to several “Krav Maga” places that were not what they say they are in Miami. Phillipe is a great trainer, I highly recommend you try his class.I also have ongoing weapons training with Phillipe which has been an awesome experience. I had no experience with handguns and rifles and Phillipe has taken my basic skills and augmented them with tactical weapons training that has skyrocketed my comfort with weapons and self defense abilities to a much more skilled level. I plan to continue to maximize tactical skills. Thank you!

Philip is the best self defense instructor that I have come across. He is very knowledgeable, passionate and he really cares about each student reaching their optimum level. He motivates the student to work hard, learn more about their surroundings and become sensitive to potential dangerous situations. They are learning a life long and life saving skill. My kids have grown so much by working with him both physically and mentally. I would not have them train with anyone else. Philip is one of a kind! Dont waste your time and money elsewhere. Come to Philip, he will help you reach your goals and full potential.

Review №46

Amazing teacher and a life-changing experience.I have been one of Philippes student since 2008 and would highly recommend his classes. Unlike other teachers, Philippe doesnt do feel good trainings: he will always tell you when youre not executing correctly an exercise, and he will push you to develop your full potential and explore your limits. You will be better prepared mentally and physically to face tough situations. You will be more confident. The training can be hard, but Philippe adjusts to everyones level and you wont be lying to yourself. All classes which I attended happened in a very professional environment and Ive always felt safe. Philippe spends time with every student and is always diligent to answer questions. Last, I personally also liked the students which Philippe admitted in his program: all people were respectful of each other and classes took place in a friendly atmosphere. Ive actually become friends with several other students. But why are you still reading this message ? Click on the link and experience it for yourself ! Go go go !

I entered OIS six years ago and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I went there by curiosity at first and then never stopped.Aside from really exercising yourself and staying in shape, you also learn how to react in different situations, such as strikes or threats that you may come across in the street. Because thats the whole point of Krav Maga as youll learn it with Philippe: dealing with reality.At your own pace, youll learn how to react and how to develop instincts you didnt even know you had. But trust me: progresses are astonishingly fast.Ive known Philippe since the beginning of my learning, and thats why I can tell how much of a great instructor he is. Pedagogic, realistic and patient, hes also quite the comedian, and wont miss an opportunity to lighten the mood. Thats also part of the reason I kept on practicing at OIS: the unique atmosphere you get there. Were all here to learn, without any rivalry ever, and with the most profound respect.

Philippe David Glikman instructed me Krav-Maga techniques during 10 years. He was an awesome Instructor, with fine teaching skills and with widely-known human qualities. He knows how to teach this self-defense art he likes so much with passion. The Krav Maga is an efficient and progressive technique which benefits from an on-the-spot experience and feedback which allows thereof to improve constantly the techniques taught indoors. The late purpose being to gain more and more proficiency. Therefore I deeply recommend you to Philippe’s outstanding teaching method. Jacques from France (13 years of practicing)

Review №50

One word came to my mind after my first Krav Maga class with Philip Glikman: EXCELLENT!!! Philips classes can be intense, but its worth every cent I paid. Hes very patient with his students, and only expects that you absorb and apply what he teaches you. Philip is extremely qualified, having over 15 years of experience teaching Krav Maga and working with many world-renowned instructors. If youre looking for a self-defense and fighting system that works, Krav Maga is it, and Philip is the instructor that you would want teaching you.

Over the last few years I’ve taken group and private sessions with Philip and he’s phenomenal in both. Truly dedicated to his students and craft, he makes class intense, fun, and rewarding.

I look forward to many more sessions with Philip and highly recommend him to anyone.

I have been practicing OIS Emeth Krav Maga for about ten years.Philippe was my teacher in France for most of the time.If I could, Id put up six stars...The OIS is what is best and by far: intelligence, philosophy, efficiency, here we are in reality with techniques that everyone can appropriate. The benefit is obvious both psychologically and physically: increasing self-confidence, feeling good about oneself and having the satisfaction of knowing that there is something to do in case of a problem, no longer being a victim.I keep a huge memory of the lessons with Philippe who perfectly embodies all these values. It instills the seriousness, rigour and hindsight necessary to make the experience exceptional. With the touch of humor when it comes to...Thank you

If you’re looking for a “fun” way to get in shape, this is not what you’re looking for. Yes, you’ll burn calories, but this is a self defense course first and foremost. I felt the need to take the course after an unfortunate encounter and I can’t recommend it enough. The course caters to everyone, regardless of age, gender and size. You learn real life skills from the very first class and you never feel like a victim. In fact, for those ladies worried they may not be strong enough, its quite empowering and the Philip goes out of his way to make everyone feel that way in every class. Highly recommend.

I am 61 and have been taking the Operative Israeli System (OIS) Emeth (True) Krav Maga Classes with the U.S.A. Chief Instructor Philip David Glikman for the last 7 months.When I was in my twenties – I took some Shotokan Karate classes – but this time I was hoping to find something different – I was not looking for a Sport – I was looking for Self-Defense Training for Real Life Situations (So Different from the Hollywood Fantasy World).I feel very fortunate – I have found OIS Emeth Krav Maga, and I feel very privileged and honored to train with Philip.(In my opinion the Best Self-Defense Training System and the Best Instructor).I train with Philip (Private Class) every second week, and in-between I rehearse the techniques on my own.Philip is both – a very nice man with a big heart, and at the same time a tough guy – top combat professional you don’t want for an enemy.Philip is an Excellent Instructor:1. Very patient, kind and encouraging, with a great sense of humor.2. Demanding – letting you know when you don’t do it right (On the Street you have Only One Chance to Do it Right).We train with plastic knives, pistols, sticks etc. – simulating real life situations.An essential part of the training – besides the technical part – is mental preparation, observation skills, and instinct.My decision to study OIS Emeth Krav Maga – is one of the best decisions I have ever made – this decision is changing my life for better – mentally, physically, feeling more in control – with the objective to become a tough target – not a victim.My intention is to practice OIS Emeth Krav Maga for the rest of my life.Thank you, Philip!

Philip is such a great instructor. Not only does he take the time to explain each of the moves step by step but he also is patient to review them as well. He teaches real life scenarios and each of the ways to handle and protect yourself in case of an emergency. Living in Miami it is important to know how to defend yourself, especially as a women. Philip has a passion for what he does and really wants to make sure that you understand the skills and training you are learning but also that you get a great workout in and have fun while doing it!

After a horrible situation with domestic violence, I found Phillip and his group classes for my 20 year old niece. The classes are tough, inspiring, and truly teach you how to take care of yourself. You’ll leave feeling like you KNOW YOU CAN. Phillip pushes you to do your best but is kind and understanding about the horrible things that happen and how we need to get through them.You will not feel like a victim here.You will not feel like a stranger.You will get stronger, tougher, and confident in what you’re capable of.

Philip Glikman is by far the best Krav Maga instructor I have ever have. As trained professional, he is a wonderful coach very experienced in his domain of activity. Philip masters skills, professionalism, efficiency and precision with teaching skills that cannot be challenged. As a student of his, you can only improve your technique and gestures. Even after stopping for several years - a decade I must say- I still have and remember how to use the techniques he taught me.

I joined the OIS Emeth Krav Maga Training Center in France some years ago and I’m so glad I did it.The Operative Self-Defense System training is excellent, with constant reference to real life situations and potential applications. This is invaluable for me who often travels solo.Philip Glikman, is meticulous about technique and form, and is a very detailed and patient teacher. Classes are well structured and intense, and work for both beginners and more advanced students since you progress at your own pace. Classes offered cover self-defense, sparring, ground fighting and tactical training, and they’re all open to students of every level.Philip Glikman is dedicated, he will teach his students as much as they’re willing to learn. I also found a family of awesome true people to train with.If you’ve been considering getting started you should definitely give it a try in OIS Krav Maga USA Miami SchoolSee you on the mats !!!

Go-ahead ! The Krav Maga experience that you can get there in Miami or in Paris, thanks to the exceptional instructor, is unforgettable and useful. Thanks to it I became more and more self-confident, less stressed when I faced critical situations. If youre still hesitating, just stop, and step in, youll not regret it, youll be grateful to have made this choice. Trust me and trust them.

I took several private training sessions and Philip is a great teacher/instructor/Expert/Coach, very flexible, he customizes the Private training completely on the students needs.He does not only teaches a technique, with his tremendous experience he analyses one comprehensively and then provides a coaching combining techniques, exercises, tactics, and psychology to achieve the desired objective.Not to compare with those Krav Maga fitness trainings.I highly recommend Philip David Glikman & this type of training to those who want a real experienced Krav Maga Expert Instructor in Miami.
