From the reviews
My son is a straight A student and with a very mellow personality. He took private lessons from David since he was 10. We sent him to David to train because he was bullied at middle school (punched by other boys who had anger issues). He was terrified and I was very angry about what happened.
As a former athlete and student of martial arts, I am drawn to David's training facility for different reasons. First, I LOVE quality. Second, I dislike wasting time. If I'm going to train for real life situations, then I want to make the most of the training time and money I have.
David's self-defense classes have had me hooked since day one. He is an amazing instructor. The strategy he uses to teach new techniques and builds on them makes it easy to follow. Pacing of the classes is great, and I go home from each class feeling confident and better prepared to defend myself if a situation arises.
David is absolutely phenomenal when it comes to education with self defense and handgun use. No matter if you are male, and especially if you are female I highly suggest taking any of his courses!
New to Krav Maga? Start at Krav Maga Worldwide of Madison
Krav Maga Worldwide of Madison 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 Worldwide of Madison
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.
