From the reviews
First impressions mean everything to me when introducing my special needs child to a new environment. We attended a private lesson for the first time and it was an awesome experience. They took the time to ask important questions and paid close attention to how my child engaged in activities provided.
FEKS is an awesome gym with an amazing staff. I've only been training there for around 6 months now, but beyond the intense training in techniques and fitness, I love the fact that Master Bruce and his family really do feel like friends and a second family.
The instructors and environment at FEKS are absolutely stellar. Our expectations have been more than exceeded by every aspect. Our ten-year old daughter has gained discipline, confidence, and so much joy in her learning at FEKS. We love FEKS, all the instructors, and the incredible camaraderie that goes on here.
Can't say enough positive things about FEKS. I trained there for over 5 years. They truly have a FAMILY attitude and spirit in addition to expert level instruction. Safety and encouraging growth are top priorities. They have instruction appropriate for all ages. I am proud and honored to call the Rubinbergs friends.
Your first Krav Maga class at FEKS Martial Arts 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.
