The classes they run
“This way kids are guaranteed to get their workouts a few times a week while you are at work, and it doesn't cut into your evening and into family time.”
“I'm a beginner, very out of shape and overweight and I'm excited to come to class every week (which is saying something because I hate working out).”

“I would highly recommend the Martial Arts Fitness Academy to a parent looking for an activity for their child, or an adult looking for a physical fitness program.”

From the reviews
You guys need to check us out. We have several programs that you can sign up for. Come have fun with us while learning self-defense. The instructors make it fun and easy to learn at your speed.
I am a student here and I recommend this place if you want to look for a place to learn how to defend yourself I just wish their sparring gear was a little breathable and seeable then other than that 10/10
I can't say enough amazing things about this academy. I'm taking the kickboxing class. They offer a week free trial for it which I fell in love with. The instructor Chad is friendly, motivating, knowledgeable and understanding. Even the other people taking the class are extremely friendly and encouraging.
When I walked into Martial Arts Fitness Academy as an adult in April of 2010, I had never taken a martial arts class before in my life or even considered myself to be athletic. I ended up taking kickboxing for two years and Haganah for about a year.
New to Krav Maga? Start at Empower Martial Arts
Empower 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 Empower 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.
