I’ve been a student with Synergy before they moved to the new location. I roughly have 4 active years since 2016. I can say for sure that Synergy is the right choice for beginners and even intermediate students moving from class to class. Synergy has classes suitable for any experience level.

★★★★★ — Karl, Oct 2022

I'm taking the Sunday 8:30 am Tai Chi and the Thursday 7:30 pm Counterstrike Krav Maga classes. Instructors are engaging and personable, making it easy to ask questions. As a beginner I definitely feel challenged and encouraged to work outside my typical comfort zone to achieve better results.

★★★★★ — Laurel, Nov 2019

I took my boys to learn Krav Maga and ended up taking the class myself, we liked it so much that the following week I brought my girlfriend and her son. We all absolutely LOVE the class & we are learning to defend ourselves in very difficult situations. Everyone at every age should be taking this class.

★★★★★ — Manal, Jul 2018

My daughter has been a student here for the last several years. I feel that it has been a great experience for her as she develops her martial arts and grows in confidence. The classes are well-structured and it caters to multiple skill levels.

New to Krav Maga? Start at Synergy Martial Arts

Synergy 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 Synergy 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.
