Great courses and curriculum. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. The beginner courses' schedules are so great with my late day time schedule. Take a trial course first, and you will love it!

I have been going to Apex for 4 months. Everyone from the instructors to the students are so welcoming and fun! It is a great workout and you learn a life skill that makes you feel more confident and capable. I wish I had found them sooner.
Your first Krav Maga class at Apex Defense Waltham
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.
