From the reviews

This is the best place you can go for self defense especially for women. They are patient and take self defense very seriously. The drop in fee is extremely cost effective if you just want to try it out. The classes are small enough where you get some one on one time.

★★★★★ — Chris, Nov 2024

Both of my boys enjoy these lessons so much! Love the small class sizes and the personalized instruction.

★★★★★ — Kim, Aug 2023

Me and my wife just went to our first adult class together last week. It was amazing! They are very friendly and personable. They make you feel like part of their family right away. And the instructor Tony is great. Very patient and takes the time to explain everything so that you understand it.

★★★★★ — Denny, Mar 2024

Taking classes here and loving it. I'm a beginner / newbie to karate, but am learning fast. Tony is a great teacher who loves people, explains the techniques very well, and is a master in his craft. His assistants, Austin and Tammy, are great too; both are awesome with people.

New to Krav Maga? Start at MAKK Martial Arts

MAKK Martial Arts 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 MAKK 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.
