From the reviews

5 stars rating February 2018. Review written April 2018, star rating not changed. As a martial arts and gym newbie, walking into this place was a bit intimidating the first day - don't let that stop you. Wipe your feet, get on the mat, and you'll find both the instructors and the class to be engaging and accessible.

★★★★★ — Natasha, Oct 2018

A group I'm had an event here that was basically a "sampler platter" of all the things we'd learn if we took classes. Besides having a great time, we learned a lot of simple, practical ways to defend ourselves, as well as tips to avoid trouble so we wouldn't have to.

★★★★★ — Michael, Dec 2018

I have had the opportunity to train all over the country due to travelling for work, and this location is one of the best when it comes to education, safety, and expertise. If you have the opportunity to work with Will, you will leave a better off person.

★★★★★ — Ian, Aug 2021

I started as a complete novice back in September of 2019, with no experience in self-defense/martial arts. Ten Months later, I feel much more confident on how to handle a potentially threatening situation. Here, you receive a great workout, while being trained by super-friendly and knowledgeable instructors.

New to Krav Maga? Start at Elite Krav Maga, LLC | Krav Maga Self-Defense Classes Longwood

Elite Krav Maga, LLC | Krav Maga Self-Defense Classes Longwood comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Elite Krav Maga, LLC | Krav Maga Self-Defense Classes Longwood

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.
