From the reviews
Took this training through my employer. It turned out to be a great experience. The trainer, Robert, is a very friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. This will be a great opportunity for newcomers, beginners, as well as advanced training. He brings lots of different scenarios and experience with him.
I had the opportunity to participate in a self-defense class offered by Silverback self Defense at a local day center while volunteering, and it was an outstanding experience. The instructor was highly knowledgeable, professional, and delivered the material in a way that was both practical and easy to understand.
Robert recently visited Cy-Fair Helping Hands to provide de-escalation and self-defense training for our volunteers, and the experience was exceptional. Why we recommend them: Engaging Presentation: Robert has a way of presenting information that keeps everyone completely locked in.
I recently had Robert Webre, founder of Silverback, on my podcast. I usually have a guest in for about an hour, but Robert sat in for a total of 3 hours, and it was all good. You don't become one of the most sought-after self-defense gurus in the country overnight.
New to Krav Maga? Start at Silverback Self Defense
Silverback Self Defense 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 Silverback Self Defense
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.
