What Others Are Saying

These People Know Their Stuff

When I first joined I was not sure what to expect. However it's been 3 months since I've joined and I have never felt more in shape, more confident in my ability to protect myself, and more happy to have found a community of people who will push you, support you, and help you grow.

These people know their stuff.

"Highly recommend this school"

I have been attending this school for 4 months and the training is very high quality and consistently impactful no matter who is instructing that day.

Nick is a wealth of information and injects ‘real world’ scenarios constantly in his teaching so you can best understand how and when we would use what we’re learning.

"Legit"

Nick Hughes is the most legit martial artist you will ever meet, with high degree Dan - level ranks in multiple systems. He backs this up with real-world experience as a bouncer, commando and bodyguard.

Nick has taken 40+ years of this rich experience and distilled the essentials into a system that is as effective as it is informed. Focusing on the three pillars of tactics, technique and mind-set,

Nick's Krav Maga LKN instruction prepares dedicated students, of any age, to protect themselves against real-world threats.

"Awesome School"

I've been a student at Krav Maga LKN for almost 2 years. I'm so glad I joined, and I'll be here until I physically can't be.

I've made great friends, and improved my overall physical condition. Most importantly, I continuously learn new mental and physical methods of self protection.

Also, with the physical demands of Krav Maga, and our instructor's unfailing commitment to skill proficiency, I'm often forced to push my mind and body further than I ever thought possible...and it's an awesome feeling!

"No BS"

If you are seeking a no nonsense, no BS, immediately practical application of self defense training.....Krav Maga LKN is the best place to gain that invaluable knowledge and skill. Highly recommend if you feel empowered to learn how to defend yourself and your loved ones.

Walk outta the gym every night feeling like you have challenged and pushed yourself out of your comfort zone while learning skills that can be utilized posthaste with eyes wide open to all that surrounds you.

"Realistic"

Have taken a lot of different style a long time ago and have really not found that can be applied realistically without years and years of practice. This style at this stage in my training looks to be something that may actually be applied when in a real life situation.

It also has opened my eyes to other important but rarely discussed matters such as avoiding situations and legal repercussions to name a few. And going back to styles. It looks to me like they cover everything from strikes to Judo/ Aikido throws to getting out of holds and a number of ground fighting strategies.

"Real Life"

I spent a long time searching for what I though was the going to be the most practical and functional form of training for my wife and myself, I chose Krav Maga I general for its proven real world application.

I did quite a bit of research for which gyms to check out and we did a intro session at Warriors and within minutes knew where I planned to be. Everyone there is more than willing to help. Nick’s knowledge and dedication to his craft shows throughout the process.

If I could give him and the company ten stars I would do so. If you are looking for a no bull gym that your going to learn skills for real world applications go in and take the intro class!

"Invaluable"

Lake Norman Warrior Krav Maga is by far the best KM school in the Carolinas. The chief instructor / president is very qualified, experienced, and knowledgeable.

The program teaches the soft skills to avoid being a victim and the hard skills to protect yourself. All the instructors are knowledgeable and experienced. Multiple class times allow the busiest person to attend 2-3 days a week.

The multiple workshops that are offered are invaluable.

I would highly recommend Warrior Krav Maga to the beginner or the experienced.

"Highly recommended"

Nick came highly recommended by a friend and he has not disappointed. You'll learn practical skills you can implement should the need arise to defend yourself. I prefer to learn from people that have used the skills they are teaching and what actually works.

I personally like to challenge myself to do and learn new things while pushing my physical limits in different ways. He'll teach you to be more aware of your surroundings and how to deal with situations. Solid course of instruction. Highly recommend. Do yourself a favor and check out the free intro class.

"Practical Self-Defense"

This school provides the most comprehensive and practical self defense training of any “martial arts”/self defense school I’ve ever attended. Nick’s knowledge and background make him uniquely suited to train people both physically and mentally for a wide variety of real-world self defense scenarios. You will learn something in every single class that you can immediately apply in real life and which can literally save your life.

If you’re seriously interested in learning how to protect yourself, do yourself a favor and start that journey at Krav Maga LKN. You won’t be sorry.
