From the reviews

My son has been going to Field's martial arts for almost 3 months now, and we couldn't be happier about the experience he has at the lil dragon classes. Before going to field's martial arts, I have a lot of concerns, my son is quiet and a little reserved when it comes to social activities, he is especially sensitive…

★★★★★ — Kai, Oct 2024

We love love love Field’s. My son is finally excited to go do physical activity. I love that there is a lot of focus on behavior in class and at home and school. We are very happy here!

★★★★★ — Leah, Jun 2022

Our 5 year old had her Wonder Woman Martial Arts birthday party at Field Martial Arts! IT WAS SUPER!! The program, the facility, and especially the staff exceeded our expectations in every way. When planning our event, Master Field was flexible and supportive and offered to do practically everything.

★★★★★ — Stacy, Apr 2018

Field Martial Arts Academy definitely deserves 5 stars. My son (5) and daughter (4) come here minimum 3 times a week for the Little Dragons program. They provide a safe and fun space for children to burn off their extra energy, while building confidence and giving them a sense of accountability.

New to Krav Maga? Start at Field Martial Arts Academy

Field Martial Arts Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Field Martial Arts Academy

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.
