I had the best time learning about self defense ! Great class with a great teacher
Great people. My son continues to learn and achieve great things. All of the instructors care about their students. It's a great place for your child or children to gain self respect and confidence!!! The parent night out is a great and activity they can play and make new friends if they new.
First visit - brought my grandson in. I was impressed with skill & knowledge & patience of the instructor! I think it is going to be an amazing experience for him. He is excited for his next lesson! I appreciate the patience as he is differently abled. Been a few months now and it has been great for him!
My son and I train here and we love it!! Awesome instructors, staff and students!! They are like family! I highly recommend Hopkinsville Martial Arts from Little Dragons to Adult classes and Krav Maga, you get it all here!!
New to Krav Maga? Start at Hopkinsville Martial Arts
Hopkinsville Martial Arts 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 Hopkinsville 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.
