From the reviews
My 11 year old daughter has been attending for the past 5-6 months. We originally signed up for a 2 week trial and she was hooked. After trying every sport unsuccessfully, finding one that she adores has been incredible!
This is a great martial arts institution. I really appreciate the ability to try the class out before signing up for multiple sessions. The instructor does a fantastic job of working with the classes of all ages and is very knowledgeable.
I started with the 16 week challenge back in February. The fitness classes are fantastic and energetic. Definitely gets the blood pumping! A few weeks into the fitness program, I joined the Krav class. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it to anyone (over the age of 16).
My son is a student here and absolutly loves attending unfortunately we have been out due to some personal issues. When my son started this class 4 months ago he was the shy give up easily type. Now hes the first one to jump up volunteer and take charge anywhere we go. Id like to send a big shout out to Mr.
New to Krav Maga? Start at Industrial Martial Arts Inc
Industrial Martial Arts Inc 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 Industrial Martial Arts Inc
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.
