As a local Law Enforcement officer, and a husband, I was always seeking something that could take my professional self defense knowledge to the next level that would protect myself on the job as well as my family. I was looking for something that would not be judgmental of my novice ability nor judge me for my lack of knowledge and/or technique, but accept me and show me step by step the best way to protect myself and my family.This was such a big deal to me that I tried out several places and martial art styles around town, but failed to connect. That was until a friend of mine turned me onto Acadiana Krav Maga. I was aware of the Krav Maga system and very interested in learning but knew of know where to go. I went online, filled out the ‘Interested Form’ on their site. The next day the owner Justin called me. We had a pleasant conversation going over my goals as well as my concerns I had from past experience. Justin was very receptive and offered me to come by and participate in a class for free. I went to class (not knowing what to expect) and very anxious. What I was met with was a class of diverse people from every background all with open arms to welcome me and glad to see me take part in their program.After an hour with the class I did not feel nervous nor anxious nor was I looked down upon as a newbie; ‘No, I was accepted into the class with smiles, hand shakes, and pats on the back for a job well done.’I have never felt this kind of acceptance from anywhere. I did not have a second thought. I have found what I have always been searching for. I joined that night.I’ve been going for 2 months now and can say, with the physical conditioning, as well as learning the techniques; I have learn more in those 2 months where I feel confident, not only can I defend myself but also protect my family.If you are looking for some where you will be accepted for you; taught how to protect yourself and your loved ones from the evil of this world, as well as get a great workout, then you have to come by and visit Acadiana Krav Maga.Fill out the online Interest form on the website, and talk with Justin about your goals and expectations. It will be the best LIFE decision you ever make.

A great work out, excellent self defense class and wonderful group of people. Anyone in any age group can take the class and will gain valuable self defense training, and at the same time build his/her self esteem and physical endurance. I had fun at every class and met some great people!

It’s been roughly a year and a half since I joined Acadiana Krav Maga. I initially joined with the intention of loosing weight in a way that was fun and challenging while at the same time offering a new skill to learn. What started as something to try has turned into more than a hobby or fitness routine, I see it as a passion. I feel as though my life has been affected in many positive ways as a Krav practitioner at AKM.I often struggle with learning psychical things, but the instructors are devoted to doing whatever it takes to make it happen. The sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with getting a new technique down is amazing and so well worth the sweat and time.In today’s world more than in past times, I feel as though you don’t have to be an instigator or be in a shady environment to become a victim of violence. Krav Maga gives me peace of mind when I’m out and about by myself or with my family. Situational avoidance, defenses against attacks (with or without weapons) I know that the more skills I have, the better my chances are of surviving and/or protecting others. I also know that theres no better place to learn these skill than at Acadiana Krav Maga.If you’re thinking about it, give Justin a call or come by and check out a class, you won’t regret it.

My son and myself are both students here. The experience has been great! Justin, our instructor, makes everyone feel welcome, whether youre a male or female. If youre looking for a self defense class and a great workout in the process, then this place is for you!
