I did not expect to have as much fun as I did. Everything was properly explained and demonstrated, all my questions were answered, the instructors were awesome, and costs for classes are affordable! 10 out of 5, I definitely recommend investing in this gym to learn how to defend yourself.

I have had the opportunity to train all over the country due to travelling for work, and this location is one of the best when it comes to education, safety, and expertise. If you have the opportunity to work with Will, you will leave a better off person. He is one of those rare instructors who can speak gently and carry the same amount of gravity it would take another to convey while shouting. Will is kind but efficient and will help you get to where you need to go. regardless of if you are a seasoned fighter, or curious about fitness/self defense, this is an excellent place to start.

My son started going here a few months ago and really likes the one on one attention he gets. His confidence is growing. I would recommend this class to a teenager that wants to learn to defend themselves, build confidence and get a good workout!

My son absolutely loves it. He has learned a lot and has gotten pretty good at it. He is definitely stronger and more agile than when he first started. I recommend this for everyone, child to adults.

EKM is awesome! Great place to workout, learn some cool stuff and be around great people! Ive been going here for a year now and I still look forward to every class. Give it a try!

(Background: 26 year old male, 5’10, 160 lbs, excellent physical condition, diagnosed with PTSD in 2019).After a PTSD diagnosis due to childhood trauma, I was left picking up the pieces and putting my life back together. Through recent groundbreaking research, I discovered that self-defense training significantly improves chronic PTSD symptoms, so I chose to start training Krav as part of an integrated treatment along with cognitive behavioral therapy which I had been going to for at least a year with only moderate success.After my first week of training, I started to notice positive cognitive changes along with a reduction of symptoms associated with PTSD, which include intrusive thoughts, mood swings etc. Fast forward 6 months later and my life is completely changed. I have reached a new level of mental clarity, focus, and determination which I never thought I could achieve. I find it easier to communicate and connect with my friends and loved ones where I was previously isolated. I now walk with my head held high, without guilt or shame.Personally, the mental and emotional benefits from training Krav outweigh the physical benefits, but it also feels good knowing that if anyone ever tries to violate my boundaries in the future they’ll be leaving that interaction in a crash cart on the way to the emergency room to put their testicles back together.

A group Im had an event here that was basically a sampler platter of all the things wed learn if we took classes. Besides having a great time, we learned a lot of simple, practical ways to defend ourselves, as well as tips to avoid trouble so we wouldnt have to.Im a particularly slow learner and am thankful that the staff, in addition to being good at explaining what to do, was patient. From what I saw, this isnt a fighting style that requires you to be extreme, strong, fast, or whatever else. Its based on practical moves you can actually use in a bind.If you tend to go out a lot or just want the peace of mind that youre as prepared as reasonably possible, definitely swing by and give them a try.

I started as a complete novice back in September of 2019, with no experience in self-defense/martial arts. Ten Months later, I feel much more confident on how to handle a potentially threatening situation.Here, you receive a great workout, while being trained by super-friendly and knowledgeable instructors. They give realistic tools on how to defend yourself, and those close to you, all while giving consistent feedback on how to improve. Also, their online video library is a great way to refine your techniques and workout at home.EKM is a great way to learn self-defense. I highly recommend it here!

Elite Krav Maga has earned the name “Elite”. The owners and lead instructors excel in professionalism and expertise.

Absolutely a great place to learn for every age or fitness group. The instructor Will is very hands on and also establish a comfortable fun environment even though the topic of self defense is serious

5 stars rating February 2018. Review written April 2018, star rating not changed.As a martial arts and gym newbie, walking into this place was a bit intimidating the first day - dont let that stop you. Wipe your feet, get on the mat, and youll find both the instructors and the class to be engaging and accessible.Re: membership - first class is free, and membership options are flexible. Note that no prices are posted online or in the studio. Talk to the instructors and theyll help you find the option that works with your schedule and budget.This is a contact sport and you will wear your bruises (sometimes quite visibly), but youll be learning some seriously practical and valuable self defense skills. Feeling like a bada** is a bonus.

Great school and a positive atmosphere. This is a real Krav Maga school and the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and will ensure you get the best training in town.👊🏽

If you want to learn how to protect yourself, and get it great shape, this is the place. Its never too late to lean.

Excellent training center with very skilled instructors. I own a Krav and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym up in Michigan and have a black belt in both. This was the only Krav gym I found in the area with instructors with good BJJ skill, which makes a big difference. Definitely sending my cousin here!

The instructors are awsome Mr. Will and Mr. Ray do a fabulous job. Every student Ive met has been really cool, which adds a positive vibe to the class. I would recommend Elite KM to anybody interested in learing how to defend themselves.

Joining Elite Krav Maga is probably the best thing ive done for my mental and physical health. The instructors are fantastic...you get an excellent workout while learning potentially life-laving techniques and you have fun the while doing it. I started a few years ago out of shape and with no prior experience and so glad i did.

These techniques can be used anywhere to protect yourself, family, friends, and loved ones.The students in the classes are all age ranges, from teens to retirees and great to train and learn with.Elite Krav Maga isnt just about learning self defense and meeting new people, Elite Krav Maga is family!
