From the reviews

Where do I begin? I’m currently laughing about all the funny things I could write about EKM because although we train seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. All the trainers are invested in our growth and practical applications of what we learn.

★★★★★ — Heather, Sep 2024

I'd never done self defense before but always wanted to. The pandemic made me more scared in approaching people and I could tell it really impacted my self confidence and how I viewed myself.

★★★★★ — Angelica, Mar 2022

I've been training at Endurance since 2011 or 2012 (time flies). I was hooked from the first class and have been training 2 -4 nights a week ever since. If you stick with it not only will you become stronger and more confident but you will find yourself with a second family that cares about you and looks after you.

★★★★★ — Steve, Mar 2022

I just had my first class today. It was Awesome. Everyone is patient and very nice and professional. I encourage everyone to take a class. I never want to feel helpless again. I feel i picked the right class.

New to Krav Maga? Start at Endurance Krav Maga

Endurance Krav Maga 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 Endurance Krav Maga

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.
