From the reviews
I am in love with this place. Started going here to learn about self defense in a 6 week challenge and I couldn’t be more happy that I signed up! They are amazing and I feel good every time I walk in and leave. It’s a great workout with a purpose. I feel more confident about myself and about Krav Maga/defending myself.
I went in not knowing what to expect but after one class I knew this was the place for me. The instructors are amazing friendly and helpful and the other students have been super friendly and helpful also. This place didn’t have a gym feeling to it but more like a family with how you are treated.
The instructors/coaches at Mada Krav Maga are true masters of their kraft and a big part of the reason why I’ve not only myself been training there for almost two years, but why I also have had my son in there as well for nearly the same amount of time. The kids classes are also top notch (he loves attending classes).
Love the instructors here. Great people who care and are passionate about martial arts that look to help you with your martial arts goals. They will help you with your self defense and fitness needs while having fun doing so. They have a list of accomplishments and years of teaching experience.
New to Krav Maga? Start at Mada Krav Maga & Jiu Jitsu
Mada Krav Maga & Jiu Jitsu 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 Mada Krav Maga & Jiu Jitsu
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.
