From the reviews

This place is awesome my daughter is 8 and she has been part of the family since she was 5. I say family because it feels like everyone cares, the coaches are patient yet Stern. My daughter is a little sensitive and they all take the time to make sure she's ok even thou there are ten other kids in the class.

In Your Corner is more than a fitness class it’s a team. The family dynamic that you get and the encouragement from both the coaches and your teammates push you to do your best. I participated in the 42 day challenge and lost 14lbs along with going down 4 dress sizes.

Your first Krav Maga class at IYC Krav Maga- El Cajon

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.
