From the reviews
The Valor Sheepdog Defense Group is a truly amazing organization. I've been a Krav Maga student since July 2017, and have attended multiple firearms training courses. Not only is safety one of their top priorities, but so is your survival.
I started with kickboxing then wanted to learn how to use a firearm. These gentlemen are very knowledgeable, patient and very dedicated to teaching people. Their services and programs are very affordable and educational. Their programs are for all ages so this is something your whole family can do!
I’ve been taking Krav Maga through Valor Sheepdog for 6 months now and I love it! As a petite female, I’ve always had a concern in the back of my mind that I wouldn’t be able to protect myself if ever attacked. I no longer feel that fear.
recent participant in women's only defensive handgun & safety course...excellent one day - 6 hour - skill evaluation of firearms safety, proficiency, and law training...well planned and organized with lots of hands-on training with knowledgeable trainers...
Your first Krav Maga class at Valor Personal Defense Systems
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.
