From the reviews

Gorilla Combat far exceeds my expectations! My son and nephew wanted to start a MMA gym over a year ago. I spent quite some time researching gyms nearby. Gorilla was our first choice. We started our free week to try it out. Literally, the first night the boys were decided.

★★★★★ — Lily, Oct 2021

I went for the free week and after attending 3 boxing classes, signed up for a membership. Super clean facility (prob cleanest men's bathroom I've ever seen), great instructors, great environment and atmosphere. Members are friendly and wanted to help me learn when running drills and hitting mitts.

★★★★★ — Timothy, Feb 2018

I am currently taking a self defense classes with my friends and I and it is AMAZING! The instructor Caleb is very knowledgeable, such a good teacher, and the classes are so much fun! I would definitely recommend this place to any person wanting to know to defend themselves against many different attacks!

★★★★★ — Frida, Mar 2022

Awesome place! Great instructors that are always willing to chat and lend pointers/help a beginner out. I went to learn how to fight and get a good workout, ended up staying for the people and the atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Dustin, Jun 2016

New to Krav Maga? Start at Gorilla Combat LLC

Gorilla Combat LLC 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 Gorilla Combat LLC

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.
