From the reviews

I've been coming here consistently for quite some time training in their Krav Maga program and just signed up for another year. 2nd to no one - this is absolutely the place where a person can come to learn and train street fighting and real life self defense scenarios. This is the real deal with no fluff and no frills.

★★★★★ — Eric, Aug 2017

My daughter has been studying Karate here for almost 2 years now. She loves it. Her self confidence is very high. In school she has become a leader and positive influence on other students. She has grown from a shy 7 year old with a fear of new things into an confident adventurer.

Your first Krav Maga class at Elite Martial Arts Training Centers

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.
