★★★★★ — Craig, Oct 2020

Amazing class. Daniel is a great teacher, he really knows how to break the moves down clearly. In a week I was already learned defenses for multiple knife attacks, headlocks and choke holds. He also is able to balance the beginners and keep the class interesting for the existing students.

★★★★★ — Elina, Nov 2019

THE REAL DEAL! I have been a student of the defense arts since I was 6, I am no stranger to the arts, over the years I have trained in Krav Maga under several instructors. All I will say, is that there is no comparison. Daniel Elayshiv is a true master of his art.

★★★★★ — Alex, May 2016

Daniel is an amazing instructor with the highest level of patience. The care towards every individuals improvement is unique and profound. If you want to learn Krav Maga for everyday application, this is the place to go. You will become fit and learn how to utilize your body in ways you never thought was possible.

New to Krav Maga? Start at Krav Maga Crash and MMA

Krav Maga Crash and MMA 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 Krav Maga Crash and MMA

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.
