From the reviews

Highly recommend. My son has been going since he was in preschool (little dragons class) and has really taken to the program. The school teaches more than just mixed martial art, they also teach life skills. He has been able to apply those lessons to everyday life.

★★★★★ — Geoff, Mar 2025

Highly recommend this place, if your kid is interested in martial arts while having fun and making friends. My kid has been part of this place for 3+ years now. It has helped with self-esteem, discipline, and fitness. It is a family-owned business, and it feels like you're part of it.

★★★★★ — Juan, Mar 2025

Elite not only has helped my son max gain skills to help guide him in his martial arts journey but has done excellent in teaching them valuable every day life skills and discipline! Thanks for all that you do! 10/10

★★★★★ — Marisol, Mar 2025

EMA has educated us & truly gave us an insight of what Martial Arts is all about. You know how you always hear about self defense schools & when others talk about their children attending or have driven by them & wondered how they actually operated? And u think it’s probably expensive, etc., right? It honestly is not!

Your first Krav Maga class at Elite Martial Arts & Family Success Center

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.
