From the reviews
I had an awesome training experience during my time here from instructor Nate Acton in Krav Maga! I learned quite a lot in a short amount of time. Nate will guide you through various drills, techniques, and help you understand the human psychology for the situation you are in, what the attacker may be thinking, how to…
I have been training in Krav Maga at CounterStrike Krav Maga for 3 years. I have found the quality of Krav Maga taught through the International Krav Maga Federation (IKMF) to be well thought out and effective. Nate is an excellent instructor with a broad background in martial arts and fighting skills.
Nate Acton is an extremely knowledgeable and fantastic instructor that can break concepts down so they are easily understood. He cares about his students and their safety both in and outside of the class. The fact that he is the IKMF Director for the state of Alabama in itself shows the level that CSKM operates at.
While some places seem to offer Krav Maga as "fitness" this place offers it as actual self defense. Although, I assure you, it's a workout. I like that this is a family friendly environment and not an intimating instructor.
Your first Krav Maga class at CounterStrike Krav Maga
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 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.
