From the reviews

We started the "little dragons" martial arts class about 3 months ago now, and we absolutely love it! Miss Emily, Miss Boaz and all the other teachers are wonderful and engaging with the kids.

★★★★★ — A, Apr 2025

My 3 boys love being challenged and being taught something that will make them better people as they grow. Jason and Theresa care about the kids and believe strongly about the programs offered. Discipline, accountability and strength of the body and mind are what they teach and live by.

We love martial arts America in Milton! Nate has only been going for about 6 months now but in just that amount of time we've seen his performance get better and better every class! He looks forward to going to class every week and ms. Bonnie is great with all of the kids.

New to Krav Maga? Start at Martial Arts America

Martial Arts America 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 Martial Arts America

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.
