From the reviews

I went to my first ever krav maga class at this gym. Fell in love with it immediately. The instructors and regular members are fantastic to work with. It didn't take long for me to feel right at home among them.

★★★★★ — Brytan, Oct 2017

I've been coming here for nearly two years and really appreciate the community. These are people who love what they do and want to share their skills with others. It's all about motivating each other to be the best versions of ourselves and thats the type of accountability that I need.

★★★★★ — Katie, Jun 2025

I absolutely love this place! A phenomenal place to learn with, no judgement. They have incredible skills and knowledge. I love their enthusiasm for teaching. The team makes you feel comfortable, no matter what fitness or skill level you start from. My young daughters have completed their kids program. They loved it!

★★★★★ — Christy, Oct 2017

Fantastic classes. I love the strikefit class and really felt like I was getting a great work out. The yoga classes and strength training were also great.

New to Krav Maga? Start at Alaska Krav Maga & Fitness, LLC

Alaska Krav Maga & Fitness, LLC comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a self-defense class, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or athletic to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build the fundamentals (stance, movement, and core self-defense techniques) over weeks, and controlled pressure-testing eases in gradually so every drill stays safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or Level 1 class time so your first session is alongside others who are also just starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first Krav Maga class at Alaska Krav Maga & Fitness, LLC

Nervous about walking into a Krav Maga school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling a few core techniques with a partner — controlled and at your own pace, not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move in — there's no uniform or special gear you need to buy to get started. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — most schools have everything else you'll need for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call what to bring. Pressure-testing eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid — you won't be sparring hard on day one. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Krav Maga is a contact activity. Ease in, train at your own pace, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
