From the reviews

MMA has been wonderful for our children. They are learning to become goal oriented, they are showing more self-discipline, and have more self confidence! The environment is friendly and professional.

★★★★★ — Caroline, Feb 2021

My 5 year old son has been going here for about 3 weeks now. Master Macon does an excellent job teaching and helps teach the discipline and self respect. I have noticed such a difference at home in such a small amount of time. He is using his manners more and helping out more around the house.

★★★★★ — Sammantha, Feb 2021

We signed our three year old son up about 2 months ago and he is loving it. We love the discipline that they teach and the way they teach it with a firm but loving approach. We expect as he grows with the program it will be enforced more. Mrs.

★★★★★ — Krista, May 2021

Ms. Kniesz is a wonderful instructor, and both my son and daughter have loved learning karate here. I grew up competing and teaching Taekwondo, a similar martial art, and my husband competed in karate. We both recognize quality teachers and programs when we see it!

Your first Krav Maga class at Macon's Martial Arts

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.
