5-STAR KRAV MAGA MEMBER REVIEWS
“KMG has talented, experienced instructors and a highly positive environment.
All the other students are friendly and a joy to train with.
Highly recommend giving it a try.”
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
“Empowering and effective self defense. As a woman it is a great confidence builder. As well as being fun and improving physical fitness. Instructors are supportive and encouraging and its excellent to see more women learning these skills..”
Monique
“A very professionally run club that balances teaching to the highest standards with having a lot of fun. A great bunch of people to train with and the instructors (all of whom have gone through a stringent training syllabus with overseas experts) are top notch. Would definitely recommend.”
