From the reviews

You WILL get exactly what you went in for if you pay attention and listen to Vann. The course work was well planned out. We had slides and handouts for the first half of the day, broke for lunch, and then the gun range at a very prestigious gun club. It was amazing and beautiful.

★★★★★ — Christine, Aug 2023

Approximately 3 months ago I received private firearms lessons from Vann and it was by far the best firearms training I've had since becoming an official gun owner. Vann was extremely thorough and knowledgeable on everything I was shown.

★★★★★ — Rachel, Jul 2022

Took the handgun fundamentals class, and Vann is great to work with. I will be moving on to other classes with him, his vast knowledge and instructor capabilities allows him to work with shooters of ALL levels, and take away valuable knowledge to build a foundation for good shooting.

★★★★★ — Josh, Apr 2025

The Handgun Fundamentals course was exactly what I needed as a beginner. I learned so much from this course and truly appreciate the time and attention Vann showed to everyone in our class. Highly recommend this one!

New to Krav Maga? Start at Reticent Warrior Tactics

Reticent Warrior Tactics 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 Reticent Warrior Tactics

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.
