Honestly I love these classes. I've felt more alive and empowered learning my own strengths. George is an excellent teacher, and Vicki and April are truly a blessing. I rec- ommend everyone definitely try this class!!
Great program. Great class. I always learn a lot.
The master is wonderful and my son loves the class!
I've been taking Krav Maga for just a few weeks but already feel my skill level going up. The classes are friendly, encouraging, and extremely practical. Do I think I can defeat any attacker? No, but I'm pretty sure I could make them regret choosing me.
