From the reviews

Master Estep is a fantastic martial artist and unbelievably patient instructor. As an adult student, I wasn't interested in the "ninja turtle" or overly hard core approaches to martial arts and was looking for a school and instructor who could teach me the art from both the physical and intellectual aspects.

★★★★★ — Michael, Nov 2015

My son is almost 7 and has been attending the academy for almost 2 years. We had our son attend to help him with discipline and self esteem. We have been very pleased with the result he has gotten so much more. Our 8 year old daughter just started and it has been great.

Your first Krav Maga class at Esteps ATA 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.

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.
