From the reviews

i have taken my grandson here for nearly 6 years. Their instructors are accomplished black belt karatekas by anyone's standards. I trained under Mel Wize and Jim Harrison, 45 years ago. They operate with the highest degree of professionalism and steadly realize the goals of changing the lives of young and adult alike.

This place is AMAZING with some of the best instructors! They do really focus and care about building you're children up. Confidence, life skills you name it! I recommend this place to everyone. My children have had a blast taking Taekwondo, and love the instructors. I wish I could give this place more stars!

Your first Krav Maga class at Confidence Martial Arts

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.
