Krav Maga FAQ's

1. Start with a Beginner Class (this is mandatory)

The first step isn’t just showing up to a regular session, instead you begin with a dedicated beginner/introduction class.

  • These classes are designed to introduce the core principles, mindset, and basic techniques of Krav Maga.
  • You’ll typically cover things like stance, striking basics, defenses, and how training is structured.
  • They run periodically (often weekly or monthly), and you need to register in advance.

This ensures that everyone entering regular classes understands the fundamentals and safety expectations.

2. Transition into regular training

Once you’ve completed the beginner class, you can sign up (online) to become a member, which means:

  • You can join regular all-level classes, which run multiple times per week
  • Classes are structured in short segments (30-minute blocks), so you can build sessions around your schedule
  • New students train alongside more experienced ones, which helps accelerate learning
  • There’s also weekly sparring Class

Our regular monthly membership is $185 per month ($155 for Veterans, First Responders and Active Service Members). Your first month is prorated and then you are billed on the first of every month thereafter (until you cancel/end your membership). To end a membership we require, in writing/email, a 30 day notification/cancellation period i.e. one more billing cycle. During this time you are still able to train at the school.

Yes, there is, and we encourgae everyone to take part in our sparring classes. These rotate days, week by week, so you should always have an opportunity to take part if you are following a regular schedule e.g., training every Tuesday and Thursday etc. Students at the school don't simply spar in a free style manner but rather are taught drills, combinations and strategies first. Sparring is controlled, and in our regular classes there are no head-shots. Whilst, the idea of sparring can initially seem intimidating, it provides a valuable training method in the development of fighting skills.

Many schools that combine Krav Maga with other martial arts, such as Muay Thai and BJJ etc., often don't have a full Krav Maga syllabus and so need to use other martial arts to fill these gaps. Krav Maga was designed to be a comprehensive self-defense/fighting system that had solutions for all dimensions of a fight e.g., striking, grappling, fighting when standing, when on the ground etc. If an instructor has been exposed to Krav Maga, and has learnt to teach the approach fully, there should be no need for them to supplement theirs and others training with different martial arts. This doesn't mean that it isn't productive to train different systems etc., but this shouldn't ne necessary from a self-defense perspective.

Yes, we teach both ground fighting (how to finish a fight on the ground) and ground survival (how to survive on the ground and get back up to standing.

You don't need to be an elite athlete however classes are active and the beginner class will give you a better idea of whether you will be able to keep up in regular classes i.e., if you struggle at the pace in a beginner class, you may want to work on your fitness before thinking about regular classes. If you are able to complete a light twenty minute jog, you should have the base fitness required to particpate in a regular class.
