From the reviews

My wife and I (late 60s) and another couple (at least our age) went to see what their Krav Maga training was like. We had a ball! The instructor (Colt) was excellent, the pace was perfect, and we all learned a lot. We'll definitely be back!

★★★★★ — Dave, Apr 2018

My son attended at the 50th street location for a few years. Not one of those years were we disappointed! Mr. Liles and his staff were and are top tier class! We had to withdraw only for personal reasons.

★★★★★ — Denelle, May 2022

Mr.Yeager is awesome and interactions with him are always positive. They were willing to take in my kid as a student despite his age. Been going for 3 weeks now and his behavior and confidence has already improved.

★★★★★ — Danbat48, May 2024

My son attended for three years from age 10 to 12 until we moved. He enjoyed the skills he learned, and I enjoyed observing. The kids and adults that are members really express a love for the art. The parents' night out and holiday activities are also great. The cost was worth it to us.

New to Krav Maga? Start at Premier Martial Arts

Premier 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 Premier 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.
