From the reviews

I was terrified of coming to this class because I wasn't sure what type of rugged terrain I'd have to navigate. Attending my first class was the best decision of my life. Every fear and doubt I had was challenged by some of the most supportive and encouraging people.

★★★★★ — Binish, Oct 2025

Very pleased with this place. Brian explains the practical aspect of EVERYTHING we are doing, encouraging us to train harder and ensures accuracy every step of the way. Every class gives me an intense workout.

★★★★★ — Andrew, May 2025

Great place to train! The techniques are extremely applicable in real world situations where self defense is required. Brian does a great job at breaking it down and explaining the philosophies behind the techniques. It’s also a fun, friendly atmosphere and you get a good workout in as well.

★★★★★ — Jay, Mar 2026

Very good to learn and simple enough that anyone is able to learn easy. Recommend anyone that is interested in learning simple self defense.

★★★★★ — Frank, Jun 2026

Your first Krav Maga class at Krav Elite

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.
