From the reviews
Awesome place! Tried out a couple training centers before finding a home at this one. The instructors are knowledgeable, inclusive, and really want you to have a solid understanding of the principles before getting into the advanced stuff - but they can do that too 💪 First time practicing a combat sport and didn’t…
6/25 First night here and I'm impressed so far. Tonight is a PT night and they are providing practical application, not just a workout for the sake of a workout. They work very well with kids, but at the same time keep things going. I'll make updates as we go. Update 4/9/22 still here 3 years later and still impressed!
Great judo club. Welcome to any level of judokas whether you want to compete or do it for fitness. Got a group of really supportive great dudes. I started with no previous experience in judo at age 34 and trained to win some regional competitions.
One of the best experiences ever. Really good coaches, especially if you're a procrastinator. They'll motivate you! Amazing & practical techniques that, once learned, makes you feel safer and better about yourself. Highly recommended.
New to Krav Maga? Start at Krav Maga Kentucky
Krav Maga Kentucky 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 Krav Maga Kentucky
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.
