Very informative class. I feel safer and more confident in my ability to defend myself should a situation ever arise. I also get an amazing workout and have a blast. The instructors are not only knowledgeable, but also very personable. They are patient and create a relaxed learning environment.

★★★★★ — Pandacp7, Apr 2018

It's a realistic fight technique that can be implemented immediately if need be. I really appreciate the individual attention that I get by having two instructors. Plus it's super relaxed so I don't feel silly if I get wrong.

Your first Krav Maga class at SDS-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.

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.
