From the reviews
Started TAC Krav Maga in late 2018 and am still going. KM is a practical and intuitive martial art I appreciate and the training is enjoyable. (and a good workout to boot).
Can't say enough good things about this school. Mr. Sailors, and his dedicated teachers, are top notch. The FIT class is challenging at all levels of fitness, from beginners to advance . After having ACL surgery, I was able to come back to class and modify my workout to fit my recovery needs.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful. It feels like one big family. The instructor is very knowledgeable and knows how to best aid the students. I recommend it!
Love this place and Aaron Sailors is an amazing instructor. The value of the lessons are immeasurable & he makes it easy to anyone to start, highly recommend
New to Krav Maga? Start at Omaha Traditional Martial Arts
Omaha Traditional 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 Omaha Traditional 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.
