Children learn how to avoid and defuse dangerous situations, while gaining confidence and mental agility. Adult classes focus on preparation for potential danger, and offer real-life skills that can save lives and empower individuals to protect themselves and their families.

In 2018 Mr. Arute started hosting Krav Maga and Firearm training events at Moosehead Lake, ME. These events would bring Mr. Arute’s clients to Moosehead from around the globe and give them the opportunity to train in the beautiful Northwoods of Maine with Mr Arute and his renowned team of instructors.

He continues to host these events a few times a year. After his training center in CT was unfortunately shut down by the state during the pandemic, he decided it was time to move his operations and training center to Greenville, Maine - full time!
