From the reviews
This is not your average feel-good facility to work out and train. This place is a haven to learn unfiltered, technical, and VERY effective self-defense and fighting skills.

I've been attending weekly classes at this training gym for the kickboxing lessons, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! The staff and coach are incredibly engaging, making every session both fun and challenging.
Very well kept studio with friendly and informative staff! Went to an intro class tonight to check it out and was more than impressed with the quality of the studio and knowledge of the staff. Everyone was friendly and answered any questions I had - will definitely be returning!
New to Krav Maga? Start at S.I.C.A. MMA and Krav Maga
S.I.C.A. MMA and Krav Maga 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 S.I.C.A. MMA and 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.
