Frequently Asked Questions

As safe as we can make it for our students, yes. In over 30 years of teaching, we’ve never had a serious accident in class. Of course, we’re learning to deal with non-consensual violence and unarmed combat, so there will occasionally be bumps and bruises along the way.

We like to call them “Krav Kisses.” For your information, the most dangerous sports in the world, according to statistics, are horseback riding, cheerleading, and gymnastics. Other sports included in that list are bull riding, boxing, football, motocross, rugby, and wrestling.

Krav Maga doesn’t make it into the top fifty!! So, go view our schedule here.

No prior experience is required. Our classes are suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. Our instructors provide personalized guidance to help you progress at your own pace.

For your first class, wear comfortable athletic clothing and trainers.

We supply you with everything else you need while you check out the classes during your free trial.

You can schedule your two week free trial through our website's registration page, or simply click the "Free Trial" button below.

Alternatively, you can reach us through the contact page. Our staff will be happy to help you find the best option to start your journey.

Yes. Our adult classes are for those fifteen and over. We don’t teach kids due to the nature of the material and because we’re serious about self-defense and not really interested in running a daycare center.

There’s no upper age limit, and we have several students north of 60. Obviously, as mentioned above, if you are over 40, it’s a great idea to get your doctor’s okay.

Yep. Click on the button below and schedule your first session.

No. That’s like asking if you must be flexible before joining a yoga class or know how to play the guitar before you get guitar lessons.

We will get you in shape at the same time as you’re learning self-defense. That’s one way to make getting in shape so much fun. Because your workout is hidden inside the lessons, you don’t even notice you’re doing a killer workout.

Having said that, we highly recommend that if you’re over the age of 40, you get your doctor’s approval. We also want everyone to know that when you join, you’re on a honeymoon for the first month. That means if you need to take a break during class, you take one. No need to ask for anyone’s approval.

After the first month, we rarely find anyone who needs the break again. We’ve even had many students on inhalers who don’t need them after a few months of training.

That depends very much on the individual. Some people pick things up quickly usually due to playing a lot of sports when younger and being coordinated. Other people take a little longer.

It doesn’t really matter as long as you’re progressing. We want you to walk out of every class a little bit more knowledgeable about the subject of self-defense and a little bit more dangerous. As long as you’re doing that, we’re happy.

Because we’re not preserving a classical art form, it’s important to note that you will progress much faster than a traditional martial arts school. You don’t have forms to learn and archaic techniques designed to deal with someone wielding a 15th-century farm tool.

Nope. There is a Krav organization that stole the concept of belts from the Japanese martial arts, but at Warriors Krav Maga, we use colored t-shirts to denote rank.

Everyone starts in an Ash Gray shirt. Your first test is for a blue shirt. The next is tan, then red, then steel gray, and finally black. There are six levels of black shirts in the system.

Yes. We’re immensely proud of our female students, who seem to take the whole thing more seriously than the guys.

Women make up roughly 40 percent of the class. Obviously, they’re very concerned about self-defense, but Krav Maga also lends itself to females due to its use of simple, effective, and aggressive techniques.

You can check some of them out on our Instructor's page.

Krav Maga is a practical, real-world self-defense system developed for the Israeli military. It’s designed to be easy to learn and highly effective under stress.

Absolutely. Many of our students had no martial arts or self-defense experience before starting. We’ll guide you every step of the way.
