Amine Belkhouche has been training martial arts with my father and I since he was a child, and I cannot say enough good things about him. He was always physically talented, but more importantly he has a wonderful disposition, and great attitude while training in a class as well as teaching his knowledge to others. More recently Amine, has become an instructor of Karate for the New Orleans Shotokan Academy, in which he teaches six kids classes per week. He is very innovative, and is able to bridge the knowledge of martial arts together with fun and exciting activities, in order to make training more interactive and fun. The skills he has acquired from his years as a professional soccer player, his passion for music, and his martial arts training, complement his training in GMB, in which he focuses on correct body movements that translate into any physical activity.

Initially, I was drawn to the friendly setting which was especially appealing to someone who had never had martial arts training. This makes Precision Krav Maga a great place to learn and train whether you are out for "just" conditioning, a new skill set for self-protection, or are a seasoned warrior in need of keeping skills sharp. However, now that I am comfortable, I find the patient but methodical instruction is what makes Precision outstanding for me.

Tony is both personable and professional, which makes him a great teacher. I hired him to train me and my two teenage daughters on self defense combined with fitness. Each lesson has been full of technique, knowledge, and great exercise. These classes have actually been fun for my family while the same time we’re burning calories and learning to protect ourselves. Expectations have been beyond exceeded and we look forward to each class🥊.
