From the reviews

I've trained here for years at their old location and now their amazing new one. I love bag class. I'm very fit and I train hard and these are the best bag classes I've ever taken. It's a full body workout with abs and circuits that goes non stop for a full hour.

★★★★★ — Kirsten, Apr 2017

I encourage anyone who wants to build confidence and functional self defense skills to try out a free class. It's a great environment with solid staff and a flexible variety of classes offered 7 days a week.

★★★★★ — A, Aug 2024

Highly recommend. World class instructors and great community. Made some of my best friends there. Has everything from self defense, ground work, and my favorite- sparring 🥊. Everyone is very welcoming :)

New to Krav Maga? Start at Krav Maga Worldwide Sherman Oaks

Krav Maga Worldwide Sherman Oaks 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 Sherman Oaks

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.
