I started Krav Maga to learn how to defend myself. After my first class at Krav Pro, I was hooked! Not only do you get a great work out, but useful skills that build awareness and self-confidence!

Three years ago I was attacked by two young men. I was out running in broad daylight alongside a busy road full of Friday evening commuters. The attack came from behind, so I didn’t see it coming. Their purpose in this attack was strictly to do bodily harm and humiliate a female. An attack can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. I froze in place, unable to move. My mind was telling my body to move, but I couldn’t; I was in shock. Over the next year, my physical wounds healed, but this incident had left a more painful wound to my emotional side. The fear that overtook me, left me feeling that every person I encountered could be a possible threat. We searched for different ways to make me feel safe, but nothing was working. My son saw a billboard for something called Krav Maga. He said, “Mom, that’s exactly what you need!”. That following Saturday, my husband forced me go to this free class. It’s been almost a year since that day. Krav Maga has changed my life. The instructors have given me the tools I need to protect and defend myself. More importantly, as a mother of three, my children have seen me transform a horrible attack into a positive situation. They see their Mother, with a renewed sense of self-esteem and confidence, facing her fears.

Krav Maga is not just a real system that works anywhere, it is easy to learn. Physically I feel great. I have more confidence knowing Krav Maga techniques. The Krav Pro training environment is tough at first but gets easier as your body gets conditioned to the physical demands. Also, the availability of classes throughout the week helps folks like me with busy work schedules.

8 Months ago I was at 296 lbs, in the worst shape of my life. Today I am at 235 lbs, in the best shape of my life, just enjoying it and having a blast. At Krav Pro I have made good friends, met good people, with great attitudes, always willing to help you learn and achieve your goals. I have even got my girlfriend into it now and she is enjoying it. It is a great family atmosphere, I suggest you come out and try it!

I was very interested in learning self defense because my job as a salesperson in the security industry requires me to spend a lot of time in places most people try to avoid. I wanted to learn something practical that would enable someone of my size to be able to defend against any size attacker. I tried a traditional martial art, but being the impatient person that I am, I didn’t enjoy having to learn all the methodologies you are required to know. I wanted to know how to protect myself NOW! My boyfriend was taking Krav Maga and suggested I take a class. After that free class, I signed up for a year. That was 5 months ago, and let me tell you, it is amazing. I am totally addicted. I can’t thank the instructors enough for giving me the confidence, knowledge and tools to go home safe.

I train at Krav Pro because I am interested in learning the most effective street smart self defense possible. I’ve tried a lot of other traditional martial arts from Karate to Wing Chun and this is by far the most effective way to learn self defense. The system is open ended, taking the best and what works and getting rid of the what doesn’t work. It is a lean, mean way to defend yourself on the street, for real!

As a parent of a 16 year old daughter, Krav Maga has provided her with skills to protect herself. Her training has increased her awareness and strengthened her self-confidence; all of which could save her life. Morgan has learned how to avoid becoming the victim of a violent crime. What better sport could a parent want their teenager to participate in?

After eight years of taking miscellaneous martial arts I decided to try Krav Maga after seeing an article for it in Black Belt magazine. After a year of training at Krav Pro, I can say, without hesitation, that it is the best real world self defense system that I have ever tried. I spent six years learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and love it, but for a real world situation against multiple attackers or weapons it is not practical. Now, I truly understand why Krav Maga is the fastest growing martial art today.

Josh D., Lawrenceville, GA

After having spent approximately 4 years in a traditional Korean martial art, I can say that Krav Maga is the real deal when it comes to learning self-defense. I learned more self-dense techniques in my first 3 months of Krav Maga than I ever did in the other martial art, not to mention getting whipped into shape within the first 6 months. The techniques are effective and can be learned by most anyone. They are adaptable and can work no matter how big or small you are. While self-defense training can put you into realistic, stressful situations, that is how you learn and ultimately become more confident and proficient. Krav Maga is NOT a martial art. It is contact combat; and it’s about attacking the attack. Krav not only offers civilian self-defense, but it also has programs for fighting, law enforcement and military applications. There are no points and there are no forms or patterns in Krav Maga. It’s purely about eliminating the threat and going home safely. After all, there’s no fair in a self-defense situation or a real street fight.

I trained traditional martial arts for 13 years. 2 Weeks before my 3rd degree black belt test, my wife made me take 1 Krav Maga class. I thought I knew self defense, but that 1 free class shook me to my core; it opened me up to a whole new world and completely changed my perspective on self defense. I never went back to my old school. Krav Maga’s principle based techniques, tactics, and training are significantly more effective, easier to learn, and make more sense. Krav Pro’s collaborative training environment, professional instruction, and focus on fitness make it a really fun way to learn self defense and get into shape. It is nice that my wife and I have a fun activity to share and I am secure in the knoweldege that she has developed the skills, strategies, and mental toughness to handle any dangerous situation.

I’ve always wanted to learn how to defend myself. I wanted to learn self-defense techniques without all the extras that come with traditional martial arts systems (katas, ceremonies, rituals, etc.). I saw a commercial for Krav Maga and thought, what the hell, Ill give it a try. After one class, I was hooked. Krav Maga does not have all the extras of traditional martial arts; instead you learn self-defense techniques that you can use from the first day of class. Each class focuses on increasing your fitness level, while at the same time giving you the skills necessary to not only survive a confrontation but to destroy your opponent if required. The Krav Maga atmosphere is laid back but at the same time everyone there is focused on learning to defend themselves. I’ve been attending Krav Maga classes for about a year now and I have yet to leave a class without having a good workout.

I have been attending Krav Maga at Krav Pro for close to a year. In all my years of working out at gyms and martial arts schools this is by far my best experience. Before anyone thinks this is all hard core Samoan chest and shoulder tattoo MMA fight club, rest assured, Krav Pro is an open, friendly environment. Women and teenagers and men all train along side each other. In fact one thing that is really different about the Krav Maga world, is lack of status given to rank or belts. The culture is causal with many students wearing a mixture of different ranking shirts without much thought to what level of the stripe on the sleeve…there are no Karate uniforms or Gis and colored belts worn around the mat. We have no Sensei or ‘Master Po’ to answer too, we have a great and talented instructor that we call ‘Richard’ and we encouraged to ask questions and even challenge the techniques.

My first class hooked me instantly and that very day, and I signed up for 2 years. When that 2 years expires, I will sign up for another 2. There is a good amount of cardio/muscle confusion that goes into this class…anyone who’s ever been in a real fight (as unfortunately I have), already knows that if your cardio isn’t there you’re in trouble. To those of you who know what I’m talking about, a real fight seems to go on for an hour but, in actuality, lasts for about a minute, maybe two. This class will way more than prepare you for that simplistic situation as well as more complicated ones like multiple attackers and weapons.

Brian B, Canon, GA

I have been attending Krav Maga classes for almost 1 year now, it was my first martial arts class I have ever attended. I really did not know what to expect. What I found was a group of highly motivated, dedicated, and knowledgeable professionals, that were not only great at what they did, which was to provide excellent practical hands on combat training, but they actually loved doing it!! The Staff go to great lengths to provide an increasingly challenging, high intensity workout environment but are still able to keep it fun and enjoyable. The combination of the demanding workouts, technical proficiency, as well as a change in your awareness and personal attitude will make the world look a lot different to you…..A world seen through the Eyes of Krav Maga!!! So…Are You Ready???

I learned more about self defense in 3 months of Krav Maga than I did in 10 years of traditional Martial Arts. I feel confident in my ability to defend myself against any attacker of any size!
