From the reviews
You won’t find anything better. You want to know why? Sure you can go learn self defense and different martial arts other places. You might enjoy where you go. Maybe establish a decent foundation. You won’t create relationships anywhere the way they do here though.
5++Stars!!!! Alpha Krav Maga Scottsdale is the real deal with self defense training! Coach Sam and Coach Bert are extremely knowledgeable and have the awards, championships and certifications to back it up. They explain the why and they are very detailed with the fundamentals and the correct process.
This is a first class training facility! The instructors truly care about their students. All their classes are both pertinent to real life situations as well as a fantastic workout. I am a firm believer in women learning self defense techniques and this is the place to learn it!
Sam and Bert are great instructors who break each process down to make learning Krav Maga a simple and effective process. Each class I have attended has had people of all different demographics and backgrounds. I highly recommend this training facility to anyone who wants to learn self defense and get a good workout.
New to Krav Maga? Start at Alpha Krav Maga Scottsdale
Alpha Krav Maga Scottsdale 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 Alpha Krav Maga Scottsdale
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.
