From the reviews

I train here 3 to 4 times a week. The curriculum is designed to make you tougher, more confident, and defense capable. Chris knows how to adjust the level of sparring and grappling to your current stage of progress . It is a good balance of fighting, grappling, and weapons defense training.

★★★★★ — Brett, Oct 2024

Chris and his group are the best in the business. Very welcoming and knowledgeable. I started at King Krav Maga 10 months ago and Im addicted, I just wish my work schedule would allow me to go more frequently. Highly recommend for any skill level. Chris will get you to whatever level your time and effort allows.

★★★★★ — Brooks, Sep 2018

Been training here for six months now and absolutely loving it. I've seen a significant increase in my strength and endurance, not to mention practical self-defense skills.

★★★★★ — Brittany, Mar 2016

New to Krav Maga? Start at King Krav Maga

King Krav Maga 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 King Krav Maga

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.
