From the reviews
Parents, if you are looking for an awesome experience for your children then you owe it to yourselves to sign your kids up! My son has been going to the Martial Arts Hero Factory for a little over a year. The positive changes we have seen in him are a direct result of the hard work his instructors put into the classes.
The Martial Arts training has instilled more confidence in my son. He is able to deal with aggressive children and often steps up to assist other children who are being bullied. Overall the training has has a positive impact on him.
My son has been coming to this school for about 6 months and he has been amazing! Sensei incorporates fun as well as discipline into my son and the habits he learns in karate class trickles into other activities as well. I highly recommend the Hero Factory for all.. it feels like family!
The program at Martial Arts Hero Factory is incredible! It is the perfect mix of discipline and fun! Both of my kids have started only 2 months ago and are completely hooked! My son has improved immensely physically and mentally.
New to Krav Maga? Start at MARTIAL ARTS HERO FACTORY & PHILLY KRAV MAGA
MARTIAL ARTS HERO FACTORY & PHILLY KRAV MAGA 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 MARTIAL ARTS HERO FACTORY & PHILLY KRAV MAGA
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.
