Michael
“Fantastic skills taught for real life threat scenarios and while one hopes to never have to use them in real life, it’s great to know them. It’s also a great workout with a really friendly group of people. The experienced Kravists in the class are very generous in sharing their knowledge and the instructors are great guys.”
Gareth
