From the reviews
We've been with Crusader for almost 10 years now. 3 of the women in our family are now black belts at various ranks (one 1st dan, one third dan and one 4th dan). We LOVE Crusader! Bill and Jaci are awesome and so are all the instructors.
I was at Crusader for close to 13 years and I loved the atmosphere and the wonderful Instructors that they have teaching the classes. Everyone there was caring and accepting with open arms! It made for a great after school activity for a couple hours a week.
I have been a part of the Crusader family for a couple of years. Everyone is extremely helpful and friendly and they really make you feel like part of the team. With a variety of types of modalities (Tang Soo Do, Judo, Krav Maga, and more,) everyone can find something they enjoy.
I went there for a cpl class and was given a 3 week trial. More than just one style of karate available from several Masters
New to Krav Maga? Start at Crusader Martial Arts
Crusader Martial Arts 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 Crusader 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.
