From the reviews

I joined Krav Maga XD/SLOCO back in September of this year after inquiring about them from someone I trust. They came highly recommended, and I can say that so far the experience has been excellent! Adam and Hilda create an engaging environment that is both supportive and challenging at the same time.

★★★★★ — Dwayne, Nov 2023

I was apprehensive to start Krav. I had friends who spoke very highly of it. I decided to give it a try and love it. Adam and Hilda foster the best environment. Everyone is very welcoming. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or have been in the class awhile, you will learn something new all the time.

★★★★★ — Pam, Nov 2023

Do you know what to do when someone tries to suddenly attack you on the street? Thanks to devoted, great instructors; Adam & Hilda I can answer that question with full confidence; YES! With their practical teaching skills and generous personalities.

★★★★★ — Heather, Nov 2023

I don't think there are sufficient words for how much this had changed my life physically, mentally, and emotionally. I initially took a fundamental class before going on a solo trip almost 2 years ago and now I feel I have the physical and even psychological tools to protect myself.

New to Krav Maga? Start at Krav Maga XD/SLOCO

Krav Maga XD/SLOCO 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 XD/SLOCO

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.
