From the reviews

Started here over 2 years ago, mainly because my youngest daughter was having issues with behavior at school. Since joining her behavior has greatly improved. Both her and my oldest daughter are about to be black belt. My nephew and I have started and we enjoy every moment of it.

★★★★★ — Mark, Mar 2018

My daughter had been going here since August 2017. The entire staff as well as Mr and Mrs Droege make us feel so welcome and part of their family. My daughter has a heart condition and has some limitations. They are always very conscientious of this and are extremely caring.

★★★★★ — Christine, Mar 2018

We been a part of the Family for about a year now and it's been amazing. The staff is so much like family celebrating each milestone with us, helping our son to learn so much, and giving him confidence. We are constantly told how polite our son is everywhere we go he responds 'Yes ma'am, No sir'.

★★★★★ — Trisha, Jul 2017

Staff is wonderful! My daughter's have been going here for 6months now and LOVE IT! They're 7&8 and full of energy! Each instructor is extremely patient with them while they teach the basics but also encourage them to focus and be disciplined. I'm so grateful we found this place!

New to Krav Maga? Start at Tactical Martial Arts

Tactical 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 Tactical 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.
