“If I’d known learning to defend myself would be this easy to start I would’ve done it years ago.”
I always painted martial arts classes to be weirdo cult activities. I mean you wear these uniforms and have to bow to people and it just really didn’t seem like my kind of thing.
After starting Krav Maga, I realize it’s kind of the “rebel” of martial arts. You DON’T have to wear a uniform – just bring comfy gym clothes. There’s also no bowing or anything else that makes self-defense seem less approachable
It’s totally raw and REAL. You don’t learn anything that you don’t need. You only learn what you will help you in a real world situation, and nothing less. Honestly, you just show up, have a ton of fun, and immediately start learning how to defend yourself.

“The FIRST class blew any other self-defense class I’ve taken out of the water”
As a woman, self-defense has always been of interest to me. It’s no fun walking down the street at night and being scared of every guy you pass. I think every lady should at least know how to handle herself.
Anyway, I’ve taken classes around town…at the local gyms, at the local college, and some other places too. Those were okay – but I never walked away feeling any more confident in my ability to defend myself than when I started
ONE Krav Maga Madison class – and I mean just ONE – taught me more useful, usable tactics than any class I’ve ever taken. I’m not saying I’m a martial arts pro or anything – but I now feel confident that I could defend myself enough to run away and get help.
