What others are saying

"Priceless Awareness & Confidence"

“Putting my two teenage sons in Nick’s teen Krav class was one of the best parenting decisions I’ve made.

Nick doesn’t do fluff — teens train like adults, learning real-world skills that stick. My boys came out more confident, more aware, and prepared for life.”

Lamont C.

"Our Best Decision As Parents"

“Our daughter transformed from quiet and shy into a confident young woman through Nick’s training.

The techniques are simple, effective, and tested in real scenarios. She now carries herself with strength and awareness, and we have peace of mind knowing she’s prepared.”

Nigel D.

"Massive Boost Of Confidence"

“Nick and his instructors run one of the best programs I’ve seen in decades of martial arts.

My daughter has gained practical self-defense, situational awareness, and huge confidence. The classes blend fitness, real-world application, and community. She always leaves empowered.”

Erik L.

"My life changed forever"

“I started training with Nick at 12 as a shy young girl and left at 18 equipped with the skills and mindset to take on college and life.

His training built my confidence, resilience, and awareness. Today I still use what I learned, and it continues to shape who I am.”

Why Krav Maga For Teens?

Unlike when you were a kid, your teen faces more pressure than ever. Social, academic, and the ever- present physical threats.

Our Krav Maga program has been specifically designed to give them the tools to defend themselves, build inner strength and resiliency so that they walk with confidence, both in and out of school.

Teen FAQs

Is Krav Maga Safe For Teens?

Absolutely. As we mention in the adult FAQ section Krav Maga isn't in the top ten most dangerous pursuits. The top five include horseback riding, cheerleading and gymnastics.

Does My Teen Need To Be In Shape To Join?

No, not at all. That's a little bit like asking if I have to be flexible to start yoga or do I need to be able to play read music before learning an instrument.
