Serving the south Queens communities of Howard Beach, Ozone Park and Linden Wood for over 43 years.

Founded in 1968 by Sensei Jack Krystek, The Krystek School of Judo, Self Defense & Fitness is different from any other you will find. We are deeply rooted in tradition with a focus on continuous evolution. Whatever your goals may be, we offer a wide array of programs for adults and children to help you attain them. Some of the many benefits you can look forward to experiencing here at Krystek’s are improved physical fitness, increased focus, confidence, self-esteem, and an overall sense of well being.

We teach only small group classes, semi-private and private lessons. In every class, each student receives the personal attention of the instructor.

Our kid’s classes are age-appropriate and specific. Children have the option of Judo and/or our MMA Self Defense class (Jiu-Jitsu Modern style). In each and every class we address character development with "mat chats" and open discussions through the number-one character development system in America: Powerful Words.

Adult students have option to study Judo, either recreational or competitive. Learn reality-based self defense: (Jiu-Jitsu Modern Style) or "MMA for the street" as we like to call it. In this class you will be prepared to defend yourself through a combination of arts: CT 707 Krav Maga, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, BJJ, Muay Thai Kick Boxing and Wrestling, or reshape their bodies through our Training for Warriors (TFW) body and mind improvement system. TFW is different from a boot-camp style or kickboxing class in that it was specifically developed for MMA fighters, it follows a curriculum, and we keep track of your progress! Many top athletes in a number of professional sports are using the TFW system to bring their fitness to another level.

Upon invitation students can study CT 707 Krav Maga a streamlined strategy based platform developed Sgt. Maj. Nir Maman. It is taught at the IDF Special Forces Counter Terror and Special Operations School where Nir served as Chief Counter Terror Tactics Instructor and Head Krav Maga Instructor.

Students can choose to combine any of the disciplines we offer for a complete self defense and fitness program. We take great pride in maintaining a high level of customer service and a very clean and safe training environment. Contact us today to set up a free intro class.
