From the reviews
This place is truly awesome. I've been a student here for three months, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The curriculum is effective and easy to learn. The instructors are demanding and practical, working with your limitations while pushing you to improve.
Lakewood Krav Maga is one of the four Colorado Krav Maga schools owned by two incredibly knowledgeable and hard working people. The instructors make classes entertaining, but also push you to be the best you can be.
Great fitness and self-defense classes in a fun and friendly environment with great instructors! They will push you to do your best, encouraging you along the way. I love that they will start you at your level and build you up from there, without negativity.
I started taking Krav Maga here in spring of 2015. The facility is clean and roomy to allow for space when practicing said defenses. The instructors are friendly and care about the well-being of the students and will take the time to help a student when the student asks questions or they will take it upon themselves…
New to Krav Maga? Start at Colorado Krav Maga Lakewood
Colorado Krav Maga Lakewood 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 Colorado Krav Maga Lakewood
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.
