Programs

Our self-defense classes for kids teach age appropriate Krav Maga techniques for real-world encounters involving grabs, holds, drags, abductions, verbal confrontations and bullying. Although we teach kids the same Krav Maga techniques we teach adults, our presentation of those skills changes to suit the age group. Just as importantly, we teach kids Verbal Judo, the art of gaining voluntary compliance. We emphasize respect, empathy, values, listening skills, verbal re-directors, de-escalation tactics, safety lines and how to resolve conflict without the use of force.

Our adult self-defense classes teach proven, practical, real-world techniques to handle everything from verbal altercations to physical confrontations and sudden threats like home invasions, carjackings, and weapon threats. Sadly, these things do happen.  Nobody thinks it can happen to them, or that they need self-defense skills, until they do. Violence has been around since the dawn of time. It's human nature and part of the human experience. Learning how to defend yourself doesn't make you less human. If anything, it makes you more human.

Are you tired of traditional gyms? The same routines, the lack of camaraderie, and no professional coaching? If so, then I have good news for you. Many of our members have moved away from the traditional gym routine and have found great instruction, a safe and welcoming environment, and success. Upgrade your fitness routine with dynamic classes that build strength, endurance, speed and agility. Most importantly, do something fun that you can actually use and stick with. Fitness in general is great - we agree - but there's no better fitness than fighting shape fitness. So why not step away from traditional gyms and try classes that burn calories, are fun, are staffed by pros and keep you engaged through learning. Most people take a mix of both fitness and self-defense classes, but if you're only interested in Krav Maga fitness, that's okay too. We have lots of members that just take fitness classes.

Our custom, self-defense training option prepares you for real-world threats with personalized scenarios including home break-ins, carjackings, sexual assault, multiple attackers, third party protection and weapon defense. Whether training solo or with your family, you’ll gain expert knowledge, build awareness and confidence and sharpen your instincts so that you can protect what matters most. Private training offers benefits like flexible scheduling options, scenario based techniques, weapon deployment and tactics, and a reduced learning curve. Participants can reach a high level of efficiency in a comparatively short period of time.

Achieve your fitness goals faster with one-on-one training tailored to your needs. Whether you want to build strength, improve endurance, learn proper form, strike the heavy bag, or train fitness routines rooted in fundamental self defense skills, our private fitness sessions can be customized to help you succeed. Train at your own pace, on your schedule, with expert guidance every step of the way. Many of our members start off with private fitness classes before transitioning to group fitness, or combined fitness and self-defense classes.
