★★★★★ — Kristi, Jan 2024

Our daughter has enjoyed Greenbrier Changing Lives Martial Arts. She has attended for almost 2 years now. The instructors are great and it always amazes me how patient they are with the students. Mr. White is really good with the kids.

★★★★☆ — Paul, May 2017

As a parent I was skeptical at first, & had my moments with all the fees involved, but as I've watched my daughter's outlook & confidence completely transform, I have to give an honest review. She loves CLMA & always looks forward to practices, the comradre & is very fond of all the instructors.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Jan 2024

Fantastic instructors and great atmosphere. I would give 10 stars out of 10 if Google allowed it. I have seen kids start with no discipline and come out in a few months with discipline and the urge to leader other students. The course curriculum is designed to accommodate most kids with a slow and steady progression.

Your first Krav Maga class at Changing Lives Martial Arts Greenbrier

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.
